if its a dvd rip game then its gonna be on 80-min cdr and if its a dvd game then its on dvd and if its a cd game then its on cd...but for the most part when u d/l them if the filesizes of the rars are around 20 megs then its a cd game but if they are closer to 50 megs then its a dvd game

0-700MB game = CD

anything above that = DVD

Well actually, BIN files can get to 800mbs and still be burnt on a CD :)
But for the most part thats right.

1-1 copies are fine. don't waste your time with ripping to pc. if you have a good burner and pc it will be fine.

CD Games have Blue bottoms

DVD Games have Silver or Gold Bottoms, that also say "DVDROM" on them
