PSX Games Bigger than 650Mb?
 

Hi, I hope this isn't a stupid question or one that's been asked before,

I just made a backup disc image up of 'Medal of Honour Underground' PSX, using CloneCD, and the .CCD file appears to be about 700Mb in size. Will it write onto a normal 74minute 650mb blank disc or do I need to buy an 80minute one? I've never come across a PSX game b4 that wouldn't fit on a 74 min CD, do they exist / are they common?

Thanks, Red Pepper

Common question....
when a disk claims to take 650mb of data, it means "mode 1" data, however most (if not all ?) psx games use mode 2, which means that a .bin or .ccd file of up to about 740mb will fit on a supposedly 650mb disk. "Mode 2" data uses less data bits for error correction, which means that more data can be put on the CD, but the chances or errors occuring will therefore be higher.
Geddit ?
In short burn MoH-Underground onto a 650mb disk - it will all fit.

Thanks a lot! You learn something everyday...
