CD-Rs for PSX

[rentahero]

What are the best CDRs for PSX copies?
I'm asking this because I made so many coasters and think that I'm using the wrong brand.
I've heard that TDK Reflex CD-Rs are good, but those are probably hard to get.

[DementedLullaby]

TDK of all kinds are good discs. Verbatim are another brand I highly reccomend. It's worth shelling out the extra bit of cash for these.

[rentahero]

Do you know the best ones for Dreamcast too?

[nitronic1]

I've never had a problem with fuji or sony brand discs, also maxell and memorex have worked well for me. I swore off the kodak ones though, there were a few other no namers that worked alright as well, but that's a starting point anyway

If you are looking for a cheaper CD-R, Durabrand & Imation are good. Whatever you do DON'T buy Dynex, I bought a 50 pack and almost 30 of them were bad.

sony's disc are the bettrer
for psx and dreamcat, and a good speed for burn

[Borman]

I like my memorex ones the most, DVDs and CDs. I have had some other crap brand that makes crappy CDs and DVDs ><

[Starless_Eyes]

I used KHypermedia cd discs for Dreamcast and Playstation when I didn't have much money on hand and they worked fine. Memorex I think is the best for not being very expensive and it's very good brand for CD's and DVD's.

Do discs with more than 700MB/80MIN work on the PSX too? I have a disc of Esperanza or somthin like that, to lazy to check now P

[Zorlon]

Are you talking about a CD Image over 700MB or the contents being over 700MB because the size of a CD Image does not always reflect on the overall size of the contents of the same CD Image and burn onto a normal 700MB CD without overburning

Best CD's are hands down "taiyo yuden" factory type, as they are the SAME MEDIA TYPE as your black-bottoms. They can usually be purchased by Sony or Maxell. Memorex also often times makes a black-bottom 99min cdr (if you want to be classy) that doesn't show a burn line, so it's all pretty.

You have to inspect the packaging when you buy cdr's... look for the "made in" info.
Taiwan = shiz, skippy videos, and horrible load/boots...
Indonesia/Malaysia = Decent, but some skipping on video/audio. handles game data fine.
China = Decent, actually, every bit as good as a HK Silver. Just slightly less quality than a taiyo yuden.
India = Fantastic. No problems outside of the occasional mis-boot.
Japan = Taiyo-Yuden factory home base! If you see a 50 or 100 stack of these. BUY THEM. that will seriously take your emulation experience to a new level!

and BTW 700mb, or even the 99 minute cds _WILL_ boot on a psx. just not rws... (unless you tweak the optical connection)

You may still be able to find Fuji "Made in Japan" CDRs which are also Taiyo Yuden.

[Gulcasa]

I've always used Sony's. O.o

[Zacek]

I recommend Sony and TDK, for DC and PSX.

You can never go wrong with Taiyo-Yuden stuff my opinion it is the best
