What about black CD-R?

[spooky]

Black cdr's, well normally i'd say that they are not worth the money that you pay for them but as you already have some then i suppose you could use them for.... coasters....... mini frisby's......large tiddlywinks....

Honestly dont bother with them for PSX backups, keep them by for any other data but write slow!

You will always need a mod of somekind for the PSX either internal or external so yes somebody lied to you!
