Play actual Sega CD discs in Wii drive slot #298

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago
When loading BIOS, BIOS detects when disc is present/not present in the Wii 
drive slot, but won't recognize or load actual Sega CD discs inserted in the 
drive.  Any plans to implement actual CD drive functionality?

Thanks for all your hard work, this software is fantastic.

Unfortunately, the Wii optical drive can only read DVD, it is physically 
impossible to read Audio CD or CD-ROM.

For the record, BIOS does not detect the disc, the blue LED only blinks because 
the emulator is accessing the virtual (i.e emulated) Sega CD drive, it has 
nothing to do with what is inserted in the real Wii drive.

Ah, didn't know that.  I noticed that when I loaded a BIOS plain with a Wii DVD 
in the drive it said "checking", but when I hit eject on the system the message 
changed to "please insert a disc."  So I thought maybe the BIOS was at least 
detecting the state of the drive.  

But yeah, I understand!  Thanks for the reply and keep up the amazing work.
