burning question...
 

when backing up certain games that are of a smaller size, I notice a ring on the bottom of the riteks..(a part shiner on the outer part of the dvd-r and a part dimmer on the inner part(i suppose its the burnt part?) )

would there be any advantage, if possible, of burning the data on the outer parts to increase load speed?

anyone?

Yes the inner dark stuff is what was written. If there were an anvantage in doing this, I am sure burners would be made to do so, which they aren't.

I know that for the Dreamcast this is true. Games like Marvel vs. Capcom 2 are pretty small so I would create a dummy file and burn the game on the outside of the disc and I did notice a difference in loading. I’m not sure about the PS2 though. In theory it should load a bit faster since the disc spins faster on the outside, but the PS2 is a much more powerful machine than Dreamcast and you might not notice a difference especially on DVD discs. You can give it a try, there are a lot of tools for creating dummy files over at megagames.com, they are all in the Dreamcast section though.

DUH!!??

I can't believe some people get bogged down with crap like this.

WOT CAN BE??
