ACCESSION Group Interview

UTOPIA has opened the DC scene with its famous CD LOADER, then Kalisto joined the DC scene with fast releases and now ACCESSION is 3rd group that enter DC scene (4th group , if you count NBC(which is said to be Kalisto group for lame releases).ACCESSION 1st release is SNOWSURFER. We have asked an individual from ACCESSION a few questions about their entrance in DC scene:

CDRINFO: After Utopia & Kalisto , you are now third group to enter DC scene ?Did it take you a long time to know how to rip GD content ?
ACCESSION: Seems like it we are the third.Two weeks endless sleep is enuff and still our devkit is under construction which makes us little busy and we dont put out so many releases yet.First things first. :)

CDRINFO: Do you expect great competition between Kalisto & Utopia now that you've entered DC scene ? Do you think that other group will join the "DC PARTY" soon ?
ACCESSION: well you need to be quite good to rip the dc shite, and i still think that
haxoring and reverse engineering firmware of yamaha drives is bullshit. but i dont deny it but i dont believe it until sumone passes me such firmware or shows me live how they read the gdrom.

CDRINFO: Did you use same method as Kalisto which seems to be a hacked firmware that allow cd-r for  ripping gd content ?
ACCESSION: nope we have our own manufactured devkit tons of cables and hassle :)

CDRINFO: Do you plan to share with the world (and for other groups) the knowledge for releasing DC backups?
ACCESSION: propably it will spread out when we are done devving the minidevkit for suppliers to read the shit off.

CDRINFO: What can we expect from you (team accession) in a near future ?
ACCESSION: Fixes, trainers, patches  and more releases.

CDRINFO: Do you have problems with some game protection so far?
ACCESSION: Not really after haxoring with sony cd prots these sega prots are kids stuff :)

CDRINFO: Will you solve games that require mostly all the data on the GD-Rom and there's nothing to rip ? e.g ECCO THE DOLPHIN (pal).
ACCESSION: Propably, if time is not an issue. Atm bit busy to make readers for the suppliers so we wont be concentrating to anything real hard. prolly put out few easy ones and thats it. we dont compete with anyone yet. we have no resources to it but we will ASAP the devshit is ready to rock.

CDRINFO:  Do you have anything to add ?
ACCESSION: Well to me these webpages that follow the scene are bit lame. Its like giving us on a serveplate to public and i dont like it. we dont do this for money actually this east all my money and freetime, but when sumone says this is protected, i just have to do sumthing about it.its same as sumone says your so lame u cant do it :) so i just have to :)

Besides that greedy software industry out there stop chasing the groups that do this for fun , chase the damn asians who do it for real $$$ we do this on our own money and time and i can tell you it aint the cheapest hobby. buying shitloads of new consoles after blowing them up on experimental tests and buying half of electornic shoppe for parts to build expensive reverse engineering EQ etc shit. But its our hobby we cant stop it. Besides i dont even feel like i am doing anything wrong? i am just offering people a way to backup their original games as sega is so lame it protects them.

Everyone has right to reverse engineer its own device. If i go to shoppe buy dc and hammer it to pieces ,its not segas problem or if i rip chips off it or add new hardware to it, no its my problem and nobodys else problem.
