These are my futile attempts to burn patched/homebrew ISOs to CD-R to play on my Turbo Duo. Pressed discs read perfectly fine. I should open an Etsy that sells CD-R coasters.

Graphs made using Nero DiscSpeed (Disc Quality tab) sorted from best to worst burns.

Rondo of Blood (English Patch)

Disc Quality Scan using Optiarc

Verdict: This drive resulted in many more errors than the iHAS even when using the same disc, so it likely has a dying laser.

  • Cross-check Disc Quality scans with multiple drives to make sure the drive isn't the issue. The optiarc here appears to be bad.
