    I believe it means the Dreamcast can read cd-rom and GD-rom

    ...and in Swingers they weren't playing Blades of Steel they were playing NHL 94 for Sega Genesis.

    What's a GD-rom? You're right it was a Sega!

    GD-rom means Gigabyte Disc-Rom or something to that effect. The disc can hold 1 GB of information comparted to 650-700 mb on a regular cd. This was supposed to deter people from copying games... but it didn't work very well. You can easily download "backup" copies and there's a thriving community of homebrew games available.
