first of all, whoever said read at 1x speed is crazy, unless you want to wait an hour just to read the damn thing!! your writer is fairly new so i would reccomend reading at 4x speed or 8x speed. if you have problems (because the cd is badly scratched) then read at 1x speed.

Second thing, you can use any media but, the psx laser might not read it so well and the game may freeze or skip on movie files. all cheap crappy cds are easy to spot, they are light green (dont mistake them with tdks because they are a darker green. green cds are weaker, and correct me if i am wrong but they always seem to lose their actual recording layer from the back of the cd, which is real bad!

Good luck burning oldtimer
