so much misinformation, so much bs…

of course the transfer rate is slower on the inner circle, but this doesn’t mean that this kills the drive, just if you stack the disc. multi-game discs are usually poor compilations made by people without much knowledge about how to effectively build them to reduce loading times and lessen wear and tear. in the end, multi-game discs are a great idea…if you know how to do them correctly

Not to mention, you can really tear up your DC laser, ruining it in the process. In developing my game over the past four months, I’ve already burned one laser out by using a multisession disc and DCHakker, and had to buy a new unit.

It’s probably much safer to burn a single game to a single disc with a dummy file, but I suppose as with anything, your millage will vary.

Yeah, if you are dealing with a few 100MB or less games, it’s fine. But once you start inserting games into that first 100-150MB of the disc, where a dummy file should normally be, you are asking for long load times and/or stutters. There’s a reason we have dummy files.

Mozgus, if you have small enough games, and not a lot of them, you don’t have to worry about it much. The ones I’ve dealt with haven’t had any issues.

I’ve had a go at this myself, and while it is pretty darn complex, I managed to get 3 out of 4 games on one disc to work. Making your own HTML page design to go with it is fun, too.
