Alright, I recently bought a modded PSX (I....Feel......So............Old) due to the fact I love PSX games, and prefer not to emulate them. So to back up and burn games, I need a real slooow CD and DVD burner (because I back up PS2 games aswell).
Now, I'm no expert when it comes to computer hardware, I'm more of the software type. I browsed the Australian Ebay for some slow DVD and CD external drives (it has to be external) and they all tell me the max speed, but not the minimum speed.
Is there a way to calculate the minimum speed for a drive, if you can't run tests on it?
I guess you could check under your computer properties. If you need to burn at slower rates then find burning programs with selectable speeds. DVDDecryptor (freeware) only lets you burn at 1x ,2x ,4x, or 8x.
You don't need a slow drive, if anything just do the burns slowly. I've always used modern burners (dvd burners and cd burner/dvd-rom combo drives). It's been a while since i burnt any PSX games so don't remember exactly what speed i used but modern dvd and cd burners are more than capable of writing at lower speeds.
