try verbatim cdr's, they are only ones my v5 messiah likes on ps2.

bit more expensive but at least then if still doesnt work you can rule out media probs. Have u read the post by charlie on understanding dvd etc, I know you are on cds here but point of reflectivity is still relevant.

if your cdrw is compatible use CloneCD, you can check this at www.elby.de

check out www.psxcopyworld.co.uk for tutorials and software downloads, all you need to get started is there.

use your writer to read and to copy
use clonecd
read option read sub channel data
read sub channel audio
both ticked

write options
dont repair sub channel
close disk
both highlighted

keep write speed slow if it works u can increase speed next time using same options when it doesnt work u know which is your max write speed

ps check your writer at site metioned above u need exact model no. 800 series is no good for it back up all psx games it needs to b raw dao 96 compatible
if it aint it will still copy 90% of games but 10%with added protection(hidden in sub channels)u wont b able to copy without patching them if a patch can b found
