Dont believe all that cd's break the gdrom drive nonsense, Just make sure the discs are dummied to there capacity and you get no probs. The GDRom

Its not nonsense if there is a chance it could break the drive.  Otherwise it wouldnt be important to full the disc.

hmm..  so how reliable are those A/B boxes? have you every had any problems with dodgy connection?   Turns out PS2 will do VGA and RGB.. looks like I'm going to need an A/B/C box ;)  oh and btw...   Will the DC do VGA 31hkz AND RGB (arcade 15khz)?  I have have a multi sync but just wanted to ask...

all game discs are done this way because a CD drive can get a better data rate from the edge of the disc than from the center..  This is because the edge is physically moving faster than the hub...  If than makes any sense ;)  That was files are sorted in a certain order on the disc..  like FMV or anything that has to stream.  You CD burner in your PC doesnt take this into account.
SithMaster:
Yes the speed things makes sense.  I know that the gdroms need dummy data to fill the disk otherwise they read faster but if someone doesnt know that and they get a homebrew game that doesnt have dummy data or something then they could run into problems.  Do the major release groups for dc games include dummy data or is it something the end user must do?
