Hello!
I'm having some issues playing burned PS1 games and was hoping the form could give me some guidance.
For reference I have a 79001 slim PS2, which reads official and burned PS2 games no problem. I'm using Imgburn with an Asus SDRW-08D2S-U optical drive, and burning onto 700 MB Memeorx CD-Rs. Here is a screenshot of my Imgburn settings
So far I've burned about 8 different copies of PS1 games and nearly all of them do not work. I got a copy of silent hill to read consistently, and a copy of Ape Escape to run most of the time, but all other copies give me "disc could not be read" (the other games I've tried are symphony of the night, Dino Crisis, and policenauts). I'm using the same write speed with the same stack of discs.
So my question is: What is going wrong here?
Clearly the PS2 can run the games when it is able to read the disc. My setup isn't completely wrong as it was able to produce one copy that is read consistently. Is Memorex just an inconstant brand? Do I need a different optical drive to burn PS1 games? For those of you who use mechapwn to play burned PS1 games, how do you burn your games?
