To be honest, this probably is the wrong forum for your type of question. DIC is based more on code (not hardware). I would do some research (check out Google). I'm sure it can be done. Have you looked into just plugging your wii or ps3 into your computer? I don't know if that will do the job or not. Sorry I'm not much help.

This question give no detail as to what you are trying to accomplish.

The PS3 has a blue ray drive, & I believe that the Wii does not. What device are you adding this drive to? What needs to be duplicated from the PS3 &/or Wii to work with your device? How are you adding this drive to your device that it needs to be like the PS3 &/or Wii drive?

There are far too many how, what, & why questions about your statement to even begin to try to help out. But I can ask... why not just buy a PS3 &/or Wii & remove the drive? Why try to duplicate it when it can just be adjusted?

You are very wrong :) This is a wonderfully perfect place to ask this question. There are a lot of developers here with years of experience in the computing business, who've seen things far beyond that of just code & software. Plus there are a large core of motivated, self sufficient freelancers here with plenty of contacts & know-how. I'm sure there is a better place to ask, but this is certainly by no means the wrong place.

Long Live Ben Heck!

This is done with software, not hardware. The software will react to the turntables movements & add the desired effect to the audio. A cd/dvd drive will read data from the disk & store the data into a buffer. Using a cd/dvd drive like a turntable to mix will only result in data loss & I/O errors.

A PS3 drive has a trigger in the center, when a disk is inserted the controller arms sweep in an outward motion, pulling the disk in. The disk hits a 2nd trigger & the central spinny thing raises & inserts into the center hole of the disk.

It's difficult to imagine, but easy to understand once you open a drive. Maybe find a defective one on eBay...

I have no idea. I'm sure it could be done in C/C++. Maybe look into Audacity & see if it offers the effect you are looking for.
