I don't have those CMC Pro discs. It's not easy to buy those in The Netherlands. Most discs in the shops here are cheap brands.

He tested it in a SCPH-9xxx and a PS One which seem to have better reading capabilities.

My SCPH-102 is also a PS One in which the Ritek disc works fine. But in the older SCPH-5552 it stutters.
They sell them here for £7 for a set of ten CD-Rs.

These are very expensive for only testing.

The £7,- is only the CD's. To let it ship to The Netherlands it will cost £9,33 shipping and £5,- taxes. And if it's delivered by PostNL they will charge me a additional €7,- when it's at the Dutch customs.

It will cost €25,- or more for only 10 discs :O

Oh damn. Well I'm sure some local supplier might have them. €25 is the same as buying a spindle of 50 CD-Rs.

  • RedColoredStars @ RedColoredStars:
    i used to go out to the recycling center every couple weeks and look at the crts and other electronics people would drop off. Usually screens were broken or severely scratched from being tossed around. Did find a good one here and there, but never anything like a 1080i widescreen crt.

  • a_username_that_isnt_cool @ a_username_that_isnt_cool:
    Is it piracy if it was released for free? Not in my opinion, but I also think it's not piracy if buying it isn't owning it, and it's not piracy if you can't buy it from the original creators anymore.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Free release can have loopholes where they still make money through ads
