dual layer writers

hi there!
anyone tested backups with dual layer writers (for instance LG GSA-4120B) yet?
Especially considering DVD9 Games like Metal Gear Solid Substance and others?
Couldnt find any information using the search function, just suppositions that it won't work.
Thanks and bye!

I saw a pack of Verbatim that included one DVD+R DL at Best Buy. It was thirty dollars, but included 8 redular DVD+Rs and 1 DVD+RW along with the dual layer disk.

Has anyone figured out if any of the current single layer writers, like the NEC ND-2500A or the Pioneer A07/107 will be able to be flashed to dual layer capacity? Or if the PS2 will be able to even read burned DVD+R DLs, given how poorly some PS2s do with DL games?

Maybe if a hacked firmware is released, they could do it, but the vendors sure as hell won't release an upgrade to allow dual-layer disc burning - remember, they want to sell you a new unit. IMHO, I don't think it will happen...

I'm not saying the hacking is impossible, but I do think it is VERY unlikely that Pioneer/NEC etc... will release updates. Personally, I hope it happens - that'll shoot 'em up the arse
