bleemcast had extremly good custom protection and i have yet to see anyone do a successful rip from a original bleemcast disk

[--=FamilyGuy=--]

That's true but with a lil' swap trick ( almost the same as in the tut on the site I posted a link) I notice that there was ,passed the lead out of the disc, 5 little Cluster (LBA) with this written on: bleem , maybe is this the damn bleem copy protection !! LOL The Dreamcast don't even care about cd leadout or even leadin it search for a custom TOC at 45000 LBA or for an audio disc (utopia boot method[mil-cd]) so on bleemcast disc the program can do a check if it's written bleem at lba "X" (where X is after the leadout) because the DC can check from 1 LBA to 549 500 LBA (122min a normal gd-rom) without bothering about the normal formatted TOC (lead in/out)

Bleem also used a F*ked up cd format like Joliet but that allow file with Weird name (there's a file that looks to have no name but that have in fact an one character name that look absolutely like a normal space)

By the way that's speculation.

I wish it helped you and dont forgot to check the site that I posted a link to !! it's damn HOT!!

very good information --=FamilyGuy=--

Bleemcast is indeed a MIL-CD, they say that on the cover: "Runs on any MIL-CD compatible Dreamcast".

So you need to hack the bleem disc to disable the LBA checks
