DRIVE: Hitatchi 47d
MEDIA: Verbatim DVD+R DL
BURNER: LiteOn SHN 165H6S with latest offical firmware
METHOD: Bookset to DVD-ROM, burnt with latest CDRWin @ 2.4x
FIRMWARE: Maximus-Garyopa Hitachi-LG Xtreme v2.3 Stealth 8in1, flashed with the version that does not support SS extraction
RESULTS: Works perfectly for Saints Row, Godfather, NHL 07, Dead or Alive, Table Tennis, Just Cause, Splinter Cell, Condemmed, etc etc. One or more of these steps may not be necissay (ie, setting the booktype), but I decided to play it on the safe side and it worked great for me. I've never had any dirty disc or tray empty or had to use any tricks to get media to boot. 100% success rate.
