    PS1/2 Do modern burners/CD's make lower quality PS1 backups?

    I am aware of the wobble groove in the original PS1 disks. I bought a console that came with a few non-original games and out of those 4, about 2 of them work on the console, sometimes even a third game. As far as I know, the console does not appear to be modded at all. I only took the console...

    PS1/2 Do modern burners/CD's make lower quality PS1 backups?

    Apologies for the double post, a mod can merge this post with my previous one. I just wanted to let you know about my experience with burning and using backups for my PS1. I used cdrdao-pled on Arch Linux laptop with a Hitachi LG GUD1N 2024 model to burn one game on a Verbatim CD-R 80 minutes...

    Hello from Romania

    Thank you all for the warm welcome. @TVL my mother worked in the IT center of a big steel works company so I was introduced to games on 386 hardware even before 1989. I remember playing the OG PONG on some 386 PC (a port of the game). I actually started playing on PC, then I continued on consoles.

    PS1/2 Do modern burners/CD's make lower quality PS1 backups?

    Hello. I am a long time fan of most old consoles like PS1 and PS2, I might have had an account here from the old days. I recently came across alex-free's guide about burning PS1 games on CD-R media after finding a PS1 SCPH-1002 console in very good condition. I already followed the PSX...
