Hacking DVD-R or DVD+R?

[Mistle]

My local store only have Verbatim DVD-R DL disks, and no DVD+R.

My question is, will a DVD-R still work? Looking through that topic it seems everybody has DVD+R's...

Hey Mistle, its me Alfangus (assuming your the same Mistle from the IGN boards)

Anyway according to the Guide, you can use DVD-R DL, and I don't see any reason why couldn't (people have said stuff about custom set layerbreaks, but given the straightfoward way you burn SSBB I don't think this is an issue.)

I used DVD+Rs, TDK ones which I found at my local Dick Smith (ironically because they only had -R verbatims, and I wasn't sure). They worked fine.

Ah, hey Alfangus, same Mistle here

That's great to hear, because I have finished downloading and I really wanna play some SSE. I'm gonna start the burn now.

Hopefully it works....

I used verbatim DVD-R DL too. In my case, the game doesn't boot by itself (error #001) but when I start the game with the dvd5 and swap the disk with the dvd9 in the main menu, it works perfectly.

Ah well, I can handle doing that.

Does it work on 60Hz or 480p? Thanks

Has anyone tried Philips-branded/Ricoh-manufactured DVD+R DL?

I can't even burn the ISO and now I'm wondering if it's just really crappy discs or a corrupt file. How would I find out, if it's the latter?
