how can i slow down my burner!

wouz · #1 12-02-2003, 09:43

when i try to make a backup i know u have to burn it at 4x or slower. But i think the slowest speed of my burner is 8x! cuz if i use nero to burn a cd 8x is the lowest speed that i can select! and if i try to burn it with clonecd, i select 2 or 1x, but when it's busy in the burning process it just burns with 8x!
please help me cuz now my backup games have extremely long loading times, the sound isnt good and sometimes the game keeps hanging at a loading screen... and i think the problem with the burn speed is the cause of these problems.
so is there a way to slow down my burner (maybe some software)? it's a lite-on ltr-24102b and its says on front: 24x10x40x

My LG burner's slowest speed is 8x also, I have had no probs with anything burned at that speed.Your burner's slowest speed
is 8x and software wont change that.Is your prob. with all games or just some games?What sofware do you use?

problem is solved, when i burn at 8x i just have to put the psx a lil on the side, works perfect!!

well i bought a few years ago some backups, they are still working perfect without problems... only the ones i made myself i have to put the psx a lil on the side.... thats why i dont think the lasers are ****ed (cuz those other backups run perfect) but i think its the 8x causing it..... anyway it works and im cool with it

You might also want to try a different brand media.

^right now im using TDK...thats an A brand.... i think its good but what do you prefer?

Yeah TDK is good. I used it all the time back in my PSX burning days. Just curious, what speed is the media?

on the cover it says 16x multi speed.

Have you tried burning at 16x just for the heck of it?
