i havent used nero for burning saturn/mega cd discs yet, but i know it does work since ive seen other people say so, also the reason on the drivers is that easy cd creator and the like uses its own drivers to access the drive, its more a case of the drivers just having not been installed since they werent needed for the programs you had installed at the factory
and bitch all you like about the speed, if you dont like it make your own server and put up with the leechers, im on the highest speed available here as it is (20k upstream)
