Burning too fast!

[Cyber Akuma]

Ok, many of my ps1 backup games play ok in a PS2, but when played in a ps1 they skip like crazy and sometimes not even load. Even the PS2 struggles from time to time.

I found the problem, im burning too fast. I have been burning them at 8x....... problem is my burner dosent seem to allow me to burn any slower! I tried Nero and Alcohol 120%.... none of them allowed me to set it below 8x.

I have a Lite-On SOHW 1673S, any suggestions? This is driving me insane.

Try different CD-R.

Try cdrwin. The demo limits you to 1x burning. Note: A few recorder models do not support 1x recording speed, so the demos will not work with them (the error "Unable to set writing speed" will appear).

I tried a different brand, same results, these are Taiyo Yudens so im pretty sure they are as good a brand as you can get. CDRwin coudlent even detect my burner, it is an old program after all, and this is a dvd burner.

8x is max and good speed for burning psx games. i always burining at this speed and had no probs. maybe you psx laser is old :/

Providing i get no read errors I can burn PSX games at 48x with no problems. In the past with older burners and media the slower speeds produced better results but thats not true today. Todays burners and media seem to do better burned at higher speeds. Try burning a backup at 24x, see what happens.

I cant comment on the TY CD-R's, I know the DVD-r's are excellent.
