Gdi2cdi Verified

Install a GDI2 verifier node. Open-source options include the Hyperledger Aries GDI2 plugin or the Verifiable Credentials Toolkit. Configure the node to listen for incoming presentations.

A community member (or release group) actually burns the CDI to a disc and plays it for 30+ minutes on a real Dreamcast. They also test it on popular emulators (Redream, Flycast, Demul). Only when it boots, plays FMVs without skipping, and saves correctly does it earn the "verified" tag.

This happens with unverified files for several reasons: Canonicalization
