Well you can do either. DVD-9 does mean dual layer. DVD-5 refers to single layer DVD's. You can burn it to a dual layer DVD, if your burners is dual layer. Most people flatten it to single layer DVD because they're a lot cheaper than Dual Layer discs. Usually this involves cutting out some movies and excess files. I recommend you flatten to a single layer DVD, because dual layer DVD's are expensive.

Yeah you can use DL discs, they're just more expensive. If you get a coaster when you paid $20 for a 5 pack, you're gonna be pissed. Let me clarify. HD advance 3.0 supports DL games, and so do a handful of good modchips like the DMS 4 and Matrix Infinity. However Swap Magic 3.6 does not support Dual Layer games. In order to load DVD-9 games with Swap Magic, they need to be compressed to a single layer DVD.
