  • Mil-CD is a compact disc format created by Sega in 1999. The main purpose of Mil-CD was to add multimedia functions to music CDs, for use in the Sega Dreamcast. For example, Mil-CD music releases were to feature enhanced navigational menus, internet capabilities, and full-screen video. The Mil-CD format actually allowed hackers to by-pass the Dreamcast security, allowing the creation of such utilities such as the bleemcast! Playstation emulator, the creation of homebrew titles for the machine, and the pirating of games via the Utopia bootdisk.
  • Mil-CD is a specially formatted CD-ROM that is designed to automatically boot a Dreamcast-compatible program without the need for a GD-ROM. Sega officially used Mil-CDs for Dreamcast-enhanced audio CDs. bleem! first showcased the ability to load independent software on the Dreamcast at E3 2000. Gameshark used the Mil-CD technique to load it's game cheat program on the Dreamcast, which it released on June 2, 2000. On June 20, 2000, Marcus Comstedt reverse engineered the Gameshark CDX and released his findings on his internet homepage.
