Hello! I'm trying to burn games.

People have told me that a common problem with the PS1 is stuttering in video. I have a slightly different problem. Videos very rarely stutter for me, but regular loading in some games has problems.

I completed Dino Crisis 2 and sometimes the transition between locations or loading the save terminal lasted 25-30 seconds, but I was able to complete the game. Resident Evil 1 suffers from the same problem, but much more often. When I got to the scene where Jill is in danger of being crushed by the ceiling and Barry saves her, Jill simply did not leave the room. Barry opens the door, calls her, and she just stands there and the ceiling continues to fall, already entering her model.

What do these symptoms indicate? Do I need another console? I'm starting to feel like I'll never play properly on PS1 again.

Failure to read properly at 2x speed would be my guess. I'm not sure for video streaming, but audio streaming is done on 1x speed.

A little trial and error. Different CD-R. Different writer.

i didn't want to believe it, but the PS1 works a lot better with 74min/650MB CD-R.


Use original pressed CDs for reference. If those fail as well your drive has problems.

    @Veho, where's the poll at?
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    they're giving the internet an open text box?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I never played or own any of they devices, but I like small style, but with a somewhat grip
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    oh man, that always goes great!
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    im sure half the responses won't be literal racial slurs or "drop table" jokes
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Look, it's China. They know what it's like when you give a poll to half a billion trolls.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much dollar do you think it is?
  • Veho @ Veho:
    ONE MILLION DOLLA
  • Veho @ Veho:
    I know the pricing of electronics nowadays isn't "how much it actually costs" but "how much we can get away with", but putting up a poll is just cynical.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Probably $150 someone said Anbernic said around the same price as rg556
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    you know which game i wish they would rerelease
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    sonic unleashed
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Make it a happy meal toy
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    that game's engine is really fucking intensive so it runs like literal shit on xbox 360 and ps3
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Nah I'm getting value creep again. I look at a $50 console "but for just a few more dollars you could get XYZ" and I end up considering the Steam Deck.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like the lighting in that game was genuinely so good
  • Veho @ Veho:
    Not getting dragged into that again.
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    i dont get why they didn't port the one game that ran the worst on consoles, to pc
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    like you port everything to pc except the one game where it would make the most sense. why. what do you gain from this
  • Julie_Pilgrim @ Julie_Pilgrim:
    is sega just personally fucking with me? are they laughing while watching me through my kinect camera as i get up to restart my xbox for the third time because the game froze again
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Buy handhelds from five below better quality
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Valve probably going to do another refresh of the deck this fall with rog ally like specs tbh
  • Veho @ Veho:
    A smaller form factor would be nice too.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    A shield portable 2 would be nice aye Nvidia
