Huge News - RetroArch Disk Project - Play Sega Saturn, Sega CD, 3DO, PS1 games from a CD-ROM
44Hey all! In this video I go over the latest news from the Libretro team (makers of RetroArch): The Retro Arch Disk Project
Soon, we will be able to play CD-based retro games right from the CD-ROM. This is huge news for retro gamers and Raspberry Pi owners!

"So, to give you some brief idea of what to expect:
The initial version that we intend to release will be targeting Sega CD games for now. We have tested a few games and they seem to work.
-Bugs might still happen as previously indicated. – There might still be Redbook audio issues, or they might just run fine.
-We will be targeting Windows and Linux for now.
-Based on our initial testing, you will have better luck with internal CD drives for now than USB-based CD drives. But your mileage may vary. That is why we need you involved in this project.
-Games with copy protections will not run for now. Thankfully, they are in the minority.
What is our scope for the project:
-Better compatibility
-More system support. PlayStation1 is very likely next.
We hope this project will be a boon for anybody with an SBC (Raspberry Pi or otherwise) and/or anybody with their own desktop PCs! Let’s make RetroArch a platform where we can take our own physical CDs and run them as effortlessly as on the original real game consoles!
As ever, everything we do will be open source.
More to be unveiled soon! Stay tuned…"
