Before his web page was shut down (I am assuming that's what happened, probably due to GiriGiri or Cassini?), Barnito posted this on the GiriGiri Hack page...
I read this using the stored page from the Internet Archive, by the way.
Surely this proves that a PC CD-ROM drive can check for and thus, read, the Saturn copy protection code? I have verified this; with originals, GiriGiri or Cassini will 'boot', but with copies they will not.
How else could this be possible? If GiriGiri and Cassini (which practically is GiriGiri) can read the code to check if it's there or not, surely it can be read, and maybe even reproduced?
🙁 (is very confused)
Edit: Fixed a spelling mistake.
10/23/03: we are currently not able to get the emulator to see CD-R burns of games. The bios checks for the outer security ring that is only on Saturn disks and is impossible for CD Writers to reproduce. Anyone who has a Saturn BIOS that has been modded, please email me below.
