Will try it on both BD-R and BD-RW. Will see if modnation will work as it takes ages to load from USB hard disk!

Regards

This would be the ultimate test.

Yes ofc it can read dual layer, otherwise half the DVD movies in the world wouldn't play, since most of them come on DVD9. Or did you mean DVD-R DL? In that case yes it can because i've watched movies on recorded DVD9 so I presume this method will work on games small enough to fit on them.

Great news that it works on BD-R, I'll try it when I get home from work on some of mine and post results.

regards

Well let the testings beging

lets try using DL and Bluray now

i dont understand the point with this tbh, i mean, lol a dvd-r fits like 4-5gb. Also the whole point on having the game on internal or external is load time.

nah, ill pass on this, but good work

The compatibility list says that COD4 works via the internal/external, but all gamedata needs to be removed before playing:

Didnt work for me, I tried burning NHL 2011, and Heavy Rain neither worked when burning to dvd DL. Works fine from the harddrive but give eboot error when loading from disc in backup manager. Used just the windows burner in windows 7 to burn the discs.
