A new project called OmniDrive enables some Blu-ray drives to rip older console games directly to a PC. With custom firmware installed, certain compatible drives can now read discs from systems like the Nintendo GameCube, Wii, original Xbox, and Xbox 360 The project targets Blu-ray drives using MediaTek MT1959 chipsets. Once modified, the drives work with tools like Redumper and MPF to create full backups of physical game discs. Supported systems currently include: >Nintendo GameCube >Nintendo Wii >original Xbox >Xbox 360. There is also limited support for newer systems such as the PlayStation 3, PS4, PS5, Wii U, and Xbox Series X, although those discs are still heavily encrypted. Older consoles and disc drives are becoming harder to find and repair, while physical discs wear out over time. This offers collectors and preservation groups an easier way to archive games before the hardware disappears. There are still important limitations. OmniDrive only works with a small number of compatible Blu-ray drives, and flashing unofficial firmware carries some risk.
