Hello everyone!
After finding out how valuable some classic video games can be, I've decided it's time to make backups and preserve the originals.
On price charting, silent-hill-trade-demo for example goes for $600 for the loose disc alone!!
So, I have a "game enhancer" that I previously used for cheat codes plugged into my ps1 parallel port, but I read that it will let me play backups.
I've tried burning Namco Museum v1 (which I own the original of) onto a disc at both high speed (52x) and slow speed (16x) and both discs fail.
I suspect it's the cheap CDR media on a spindle of 100 that I am using. (I am unsure who made those CDR's)
I've gone through the forums and there isn't anything recent about what brand CDR's to use for backups.
I've found on console copy world this info:
Top Vendor Factory Dye Color
1 Verbatim DataLifePlus Mitsubishi Chemical Corporation BLUE
2 TDK Reflex TDK BLUE
3 Philips Premium Silver Taiyo Yuden BLUE
Sony CDQ-BN / CN / BP Taiyo Yuden BLUE
4 Kodak Kodak GOLD
- but it's info from probably when the spice girls were popular.
These were mentioned in a post on this forum from 2016 - Verbatim CD-R 700MB 52X DataLifePlus White Inkjet Printable, Hub Printable - 50pk Spindle - 94755 - but I am unsure if it's the same product from 5 years ago even though the amazon page is active.
What is everyone using for CDR PS1 Backup media these days?
Much appreciated!
