    Default A question about 800 MB CD-R's.....

    Will 800 MB CD-R's work on a ps1 ? My sister bought me a few minutes ago 2 800 MB Packs by Philips. I never used such CD-R's with 800MB. And ? Yes or No ?

    Only one way to find out.

    Try burning a game on one, and see if it works.

    I bought some recently for some DC ISOs that were 900+ MB. I can't burn them with either of my burners

    I asked froogle about this, seem they do exist but i've never seen them.

    One of the pages had a small compatibility chart, so I would assume that it won't work on the PS1.

    Anyway, wouldn't all ps1 games be restricted to 700MB anyway?

    Exactly what I was thinking.

    Unless the 800mb is the only thing available (I doubt it would work anyways), you should just go and buy the 700mb ones.

    I thought CD/R OR CD/RW only came in 650MB or 700mb sizes?

    You can cram quite a but of data on one, so there are 900MB discs even. The thing is, not many drives read it, even less burn it properly, that's why I don't really think it'll work on a PSX. Well, it could, but that'd be real lucky.
