    Unhappy my modchipped ps1 doesn't want to read my newly burned cds

    I am in need of some help here. as the title says my ps1 (modchipped) doesn't seem to be able to read any of my recently burned cds. the ones I burned before work fine but for some reason it doesn't want to read the newer ones. when I put the newly burned cds in the disc slot and turn the console on, the disk drive spins the disc for a few seconds and makes a noisier sound then usual and then just stops spinning and I am taken to the blue ps1 menu screen. and yes I burned them on 1x speed and did everything during the burning right (though there could be something I did wrong that I do not know of). it may have something to do with the fact that my older burned cds were burned on a different disc media than my newly burned cds. my older cds were smartbuy and my newer ones are verbatim.

    If you have everything set up correctly then it has a good chance of being the burning hardware that is to blame

    The fact that you can burn @1x says the hardware is very old to start with, modern burners burn at much higher speeds but stll best to set 1x in IMGburn to make sure the slowest burning speed is used

    If any advanced settings have been changed make sure Dao/sao is enabled Tao can make you burn broken discs

    Also what is the file format of all the files used?

    Not that I will be here to answer that this is just a quick post from my phone.

    no it's not a psone it's a scph 9002. and there was no need for a decoding since it was a cue file not a ecm file

    No CD image is just made up from just a cue file, what files do you have for the disc image... where did you get the disc image from? please link that up if you got it from our main site or the forum, if from another site just PM me it, so I can see for myself what you are trying to burn

    The model of the PSX makes no difference, except the PSone has a better laser unit, but a well looked after PSX laser that is tuned perfect will last just as long
