The issue for Black CDs is with the burner and its laser properties. Black is just too much for some of the cheaper burners. Remember also that originals are pressed not burned.

So although a black backup with it's pretty scanned label may be "the closest to the real psx games" in looks, it won't always function. To those with good burners, perhaps you needn't worry.

BOT-CK will advise all of you to stay away from black CD-Rs and I certainly won't use them.
