So the question is, do you want to go all out and design a format that can be used on cheaper microcontrollers or FPGAs to implement optical disc emulators that interface at an analog level? Or stick to archiving/emulators leave that as extra challenge for someone to do later?

BTW, fun thing to ponder about. Wii/GC games are padded to the full disc size with random data, but IIRC the mastering tools use a predictable PRNG, which means you can compress them by a huge amount depending on game size, but the decompressor needs to implement that exact algo.

(of course the passing data is not needed for the games, but is needed for archival fidelity)

Perhaps this could be implemented by zeroing out the passing or having a sparse like layout, then having a metadata chunk that lets you reconstruct them (only if implemented of course)
