NAOMI games could be made to run with or without the GD-ROM, and most NAOMI games do *not* use GD-ROM's.  The Wikipedia entry has a list of both types:<br><br><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_NAOMI#List_of_NAOMI_games" rel="nofollow">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sega_NAOMI#List_of_NAOMI_games</a><br><br>It's not as if NAOMI has seen a huge number of releases, though, so it's probably likely that there won't be too many new NAOMI games anyway.  But it's not because of the death of the GD-ROM.  I mean, NAOMI was first launched before the GD-ROM even existed, after all.<br>]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jeff]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2007

 Pirated games can be burned on CD-R and run perfectly fine, so if pirated games can be run off a normal CD, I'm sure commercial games could be made on standard CD without the help of Sega's GD-ROM, which was barely ever used to the capacity, as most Dreamcast ISOs are under 700 MB.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Andy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Jan 18th 2007
