1st: My CDRW is broken so i havent burned any games yet, and i forgot my login pass so i cant login. Heh heh

Just curious, is it true that the color of the bottom of some CDs affects game performance? (example, Blue cds dont play at all while chmpagne or lime green colored CDs work best) and is it worth putting a Dummy file in when burning?

Different colors have different reflect power. The lighter the cd the strong the reflection. It's one end of the stick. Other end is a quality of the cd. I have a very light cd with RE:CodeVeronica and it hardly loaded.

Stick with branded disks and you should have no problems, use cheap silvers and expect some coasters. As for dummying all new games should already be dummied (as a rule of thumb any CDI image is already dummied) older BIN releases may or may not be dummied. To answer your question yes you should add a dummy file for example Crazy Taxi suffers from missing graphics unless it is dummied.
