Wht ever you do,use GD roms,they area great disc format,two times as much data on the disc!
Or SD cards work.

Gees just go out and buy the book: the Black Art of Video Game Console Design. There are two consoles that you can build and program for, they also come in kits. Or you can build on of the prototypes (they have 6502, Z80, ARM, ect). Lastly what you learn for the book could help you build your own.

Well it's admirable to design and build your own video games system it's not really practical. The practical thing to do is join the XGameStation.com group (they use the systems form the book I mentioned), join the BlackBox or you can look into the soon to be released Hydra (it's specs parallel the BB's).

So how would you burn these, let alone get the discs, as the ones left over from the Dreamcasts hayday are very rare.

Ok and I guess the 1.4GB miniDVD format isn't that great? Other then that VB_Master filled in the rest.
