PS1 The Ultimate Guide To PSX CD-Rs

[alexfree]

I just realized I haven't posted about this in favorite forum! There's a thread that I saw on gbatemp that was named Thread 'Do modern burners/CD's make lower quality PS1 backups?' And I had to chime in as I came into the PSX scene very late compared to many of you and had tested many things. When I first got my PSX i had terrible results with burned CD-Rs, and couldn't figure out why compared to I.e. my Dreamcast. Eventually I did many tests and came up with a scientific reason for why this occurred and how to burn good CD-Rs for even the launch PSX consoles: https://alex-free.github.io/psx-cdr/

P.S. expect a new document by me about how PSX anti piracy protections work

One tricky part of this guide is solving good measures for the PS1.

Burning PS1 games for the backwards PS2 might be a whole different topic.
