A few days ago, I played Sonic Colors on Dolphin and at first couldn't get it to run at full speed, but I checked it's forum thread and someone mentioned enabling vBeam, which as far as I know, can only be enabled by right clicking on a game in the main rom browser and going to it's Properties page.

This of course made the game run at full speed, just like they said it would. I then backed up the game to a disc (and I TOTALLY own the real disc) and today, put the disc in my DVD drive and ran it off the drive in Dolphin.

However, it seems that I cannot enter the Properties menu for the DVD drive game, so one of two things need to be added to Dolphin.
1. Being able to access the Properties menu for whichever game is in your disc drive.
2. Being able to enable vBeam (and potentially other options from the Properties menu) from another menu that can be accessed at any time.

Another thing I would like to suggest is being able to create configuration profiles for games not in the default rom browser, for the same reason - to work with disc games without needing to overwrite your default profile options.

No, I had no reason to. I just found out about it when trying to run Sonic and haven't played anything but that and Mega Man 9 since then.

I think I remember reading somewhere running it from the DVD drive is not as fast/effective as if you were running it from an ISO image that's stored on your hard drive. If you were to keep the image on your hard drive, then you could keep that setting turned on, and that would be fine?

Well, it's not fine because I burned it to an iso for a reason - to save hard drive space =/
