-
- It is possible but you need a XA mode 2 compatible CD-ROM drive (they all
- are nowdays and have been for years, so that's not a problem - ah, I
- remember now.. The CDTV and A570 aren't!).
-
- You'll need to be able to read raw CDXA sectors from the disk, going into
- the cd.device (or equivelant) for raw track reads.
-
- You can't just fopen() a file and read bytes, unless the CD filesystem
- has done some special support for VideoCD and made pseudo-files appear.
