Standing PSX on its side question

[wienie!]

I am backing up games and some play fine when my PSX (SCPH-7001) is just flat in the regular position. However, some will ONLY play when I stand my psx up on its side. I'm guessing it may be a weak laser problem...

But my main question is: Are the games I just made copies of that need my psx on its side, 100% ok? Is it only the PSX's fault? I ask because I want to know if these copies are worth keeping just in case I need to make another backup in the future.

Thanks.

Oh yea I'm planning on getting a PSone (those small new ones) + chipped. will that have any compatibility effects on the games I've burned?

The problem isn't with your burns but with your psx's laser going bad.

so no matter whatever method i use to get the game to play using my PSX, the burn was successful? thanks :-p

If the game works with your psx on its side or one way or another, then the burn was fine. The only prob is with your laser.
