The CD's and CD Rays

Oh, but somebody said it would be hard to read/write. So it's excactly the same?

[Black Phoenix]

Yes, it's exactly the same

Aw, you just ruined my plan of making an advanced square CD reader

[Echo51]

So you just make the "circle" as big as possible before hitting edges? well, that makes it uber useless...

[Black Phoenix]

I'm gonna add ability to write beyond track limit, aka it will be able to index tracks beyond track limit (those tracks aren't properly marked, you gotta detect & read them yourself )

Also there is no detailed CD information beacuse they are still beta version (today I found some important bugs, which prevented it from working correctly). It's gonna be fully released today, or possibly tomorrow.

[Echo51]

Lol, overburn like we do in IRL
Eitherway, some dynamic color/texture marking the tracks would be nice...

[Xandaros]

And this important bugs are like... not being able to write to a few sectors on the last track? xD

(That would explain why my cd writer didn't work -.-)

[Black Phoenix]

Okay, to clear up stuff, right now there is same amount of sectors for a given track on all types of discs. It's not how it was supposed to be, but making sectors shorter is causing massive problems (it's very hard to read, you need to spin disc TOO slowly).

The increased density of sectors would give more capacity, but the PHX 2x2 circle already tops at 3MB, and that's extreme amount for wiremod.

Therefore am I leaving this at is is, and this is an important point: NumSectors = floor(3.1415926 * 2 * TrackNumber)
