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.

Some time ago I got two burners from a thrift store (they are rare, most stores just throw away computer parts), they let me toke them for €1,- each because nobody bought them for a long time.

It was a Pioneer DVR-MCC and a Acer CDRW 6x4x32.

The Acer was unfortunately dead, the laser pickup didn't move :(

But the Pioneer DVR-MCC seems to be a good one :) I upgraded the firmware to 1.14 and burned multiple PS1 games with it which all play without any stuttering on the PS1 models I have :) It supports 4x as the lowest CD burning speed which I used.

This Pioneer DVR-MCC looks like a OEM drive sold in Germany and found in some old Medion desktops.
