Not Capable
kJams works with ALL drives that are capable of rippin / burning CD+G media
If you're imagining it's possible to "just write a new driver or update the software somehow to enable these drives", well, that's not within the realm of our physical laws.
Think of it this way: there is just no way (literally the physics won't work) to play a Blu-Ray disc in a CD drive. The hardware for decoding the data just isn't even built into the drive. The ONLY possible way to read a Blu-Ray disc is to get a drive CAPABLE of reading a Blue-Ray disc. The same EXACT thing is true for CD+G.
The waters seem muddy for those who don't know because SOME CD / DVD drives are in fact capable, while some are not, leading people to think that ALL drives must be capable with some software tweak.
If kJams says "you need a new drive", then you do, there's no other way.
