'''GD-ROM''' dumping guide. See [[GD-R Dumping Guide|here]] for information about dumping GD-R (recordable) discs.

GD discs were used by the Sega Dreamcast console and Sega NAOMI, Sega NAOMI 2, Sega Chihiro, and Triforce arcade systems.

The discs contain two distinct areas, a Low Density Area ("LD Area") and a High Density Area ("HD Area"), physically separated by a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GD-ROM#/media/File:Gdrom.jpg ring]. You'll need to dump both areas of the disc, each requiring different drive models and methods.
