Burning too fast!

[bighap]

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.

I tried setting Nero to estimate the recommended maximum speed..... it recommended I use 198.1x speed....... then burned at 48x. The 48x backup performed even worse.

Use Verbatims, they have always been the best for burning PSX.
Update your CDRWin if it doesn't detect your burner.
I always burned PSX at 1x using my old TEAC SCSI burner, but I can let that do its own thing as it doesn't interrupt anything else I do on PC.

Actually, I had one slightly old verbatim disk left, I tried burning the same thing on it at 8x, it was just as bad as the Taiyo Yuden burn at 8x.
