They exist
Celebrate first post with me!
 Look on goggle for 9.4 disks and you will find a lot of different brands... The cheaper I saw 'em was for like 6 for a disk. 100 packages sell for like $350 - $400!! Why DMC2 is 2 dvd5 and Xenosaga 1 dvd9? An explanation would be apreciated... I heard somewhere that Cendyne DVD-r drives (Pioneer) is possible to flash the drive BIOS and make it compatible with dvd9 copying. Can this be true? This is because I have a friend that flashed his cd-r drive and upgraded the burning speed. This means that burning speed lies on programing rather than the architecture of the drive. So, If dvd9 burning consists of programing rather than drive physical architecture, you could flash the bios and upgrade from normal dvd-r drive to dvd9-r drive...  Just a nOOb wondering

obviously
Two sided dvd-r (4.9 each side) I think is a pretty unsecure way to burn games because then you would need extra care with the discs. And if you are like me that store the games in regular cd wallets (have you seen the dvd-only cd wallets? OMFG lol! just stupid ppl fall for that) they eventually will get scratched on the side facing up.
So if you use those type of discs just to say "I have GTA3 and VC on one disc!" its pretty lame and cheap because my VC is original and it haves some mild scratchs on it and the game frezzes displaying the "error reding GTAVC disc..." thing... Just get two good dvdrs discs and forget the worries... So what Im gonna do is to burn the VC game on a scratch-free dvd-r Burn 9.4 on 4.7 obviously cant be done but my point was that there are several brands on 9.4 discs avaiable. just use on a search engine keyword: 9.4 dvd-r and Viola! expensive media and expensive drives w/burning speeds of 1x... Joy.

9.4 gb media has been around for a while now. I would like to see these 9 gig dvd drives you are talking about, cause they don't exist.

9.4 media is DOUBLE SIDED (nothing more than a dvd5 on each side)
A true dvd9 holds 9.4 gb on ONE side......

TheMasterRat, I will hopefully be able to get my hands on Xenosaga next week. I can report back to you how my Apple handles it if you like. If it's a no go, then that would be the first unsuccessful game I have run across for the Apple.

Well, it does boot. When it feels like it.
About a 1 in 12 chance. if not higher. *shrug* Just annoying to have to keep hitting reset reset reset!

An example of doing that to regular data would be zipping it up. Last I checked PS2 can't unrar/zip things Nice thought though.
