AFAIK its not, but maybe someone here can tell you the correct answer to that.

Maybe through some kind of emulation...

I downloaded a file that is said to be a Saturn emularor with 16 roms on it. Only problem with is was that it only contained the .bin I had to look for the .cue. I havent tried to make it yet as I dont have any CD-rs to experiment with.

Yabause-dc? Seems it only plays demos at the moment (no comercial games), and slowly.

Considering both Saturn and Sega CD are multi-processor machines, it's really doubtfull that you're going to see them emulated full speed on a Dreamcast (or even playable speed).

Yea, since, if I'm not mistaken, they still don't have a full speed Genesis or SNES emulator. Considering both of those machines are at least a half generation behind SegaCD or Saturn, don't count on playing them at full speed.
