Mechapwnd PS2 not playing burned CDRs? Use high quality discs because disc quality matters
Context: Tested over 30+ PS2 consoles with PMAP calibration
Just wanted to share a useful piece of information out here and that is to use high quality CDRs when burning your PS1 games for your PS2.
Before, I would use the standard Verbatim CDR discs for PS1 games which my PS2 would have a harder time playing or even booting at all. Now I use JVC Taiyo Yuden CDRs for my PS1 games and now my console can read and play these discs perfectly. What a huge improvement. Absolutely beautiful.
Taiyo Yuden is a Japanese company that is world renowned for producing the highest quality discs. Years ago, JVC bought TY but eventually been bought by CMC which uses their technology to produce discs today. I haven't tested CMC discs but these discs should work just as well as the original JVC TY discs.
So if your PS2 console is having trouble reading burned CDRs--- use high quality Taiyo Yuden discs.
