Homebrew emu's wearout lasers?

[sl33p]

i have decided to try to loadan emulator (snes station) and i got it working.. but something weird happens... it seems like the cd-r where all the roms and emulator is on.. is spinning extremly fast that when i put my hand on top of my ps2... it vibrates my hand :confused:

is this normal? does running homebrew emulator apps slowing tear apart your laser?

is it the same for any app regardless if its an emulator or not?

I used to play Snes Station before I got an xbox. I don’t remember anything out of the ordinary as far as drive noise. I mean that just about any PS2 CD-ROM will make all sorts of loud crazy noises. It should spin down after loading the rom, I can’t remember. You should be able to eject the CD after loading a rom, if you’re going to be playing the same rom for a while. That way your PS2 drive won’t be running for no reason while you play Zelda for hours.
