OmniDrive: Blu-ray Drives Rip Classic Console Discs for Preservation
OmniDrive is a firmware mod for certain Hitachi-LG MT1959-based Blu-ray drives that lets you read and legally back up personal discs from classic consoles like GameCube, Wii, and Xbox 360 using a PC, with compatible drives listed by the Disc Preservation Project. It also partially supports other systems (PS3-PS5, Xbox Series, Wii U) where discs are encrypted, and reads Dreamcast GD-ROMs only in the low-density area. The tool aims to aid preservation via emulation rather than online file sharing, but bypassing encryption can raise DMCA/legal concerns depending on jurisdiction.
