Revision as of 06:03, 23 June 2024
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.
Media
Info from Nero DiscSpeed (Disc Info tab).
- CMC Pro (Taiyo Yuden TCDR-ZZ-SB):

- Manufacturer: Ritek Co.
- Capacity: 650MB / 74 min
- Supported Write Speeds: 16x (disc packaging says 1x-8x; likely no Write Strategy available for my drives)

Media Reflectivity
Note the strength of contrast between the burnt vs unburn areas on the disc.
_CD-R.jpg)
Below are scans of the same discs. Oddly, the pressed disc shows almost no contrast in a direct scan.
Burn Quality
Information pulled from Nero DiscSpeed (Disc Quality tab) sorted from best to worst burns.
Pressed Disc: Rising Sun
Space Ava 201
Rondo of Blood (English Patch)
Disc Quality Scan using iHAS
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.
Disc Quality Scan using BENQ
All scans failed with "ILLEGAL MODE FOR THIS TRACK (056400)" error on any discs burned by the BENQ itself, discs burned by other drives, or pressed discs despite burning discs well.
Lessons Learned
- Check what the minimum and maximum speed that the media (disc) reports, and burn at the minimum the media (NOT DRIVE) supports.
- Cross-check Disc Quality scans with multiple drives to make sure the drive isn't the issue. The optiarc here appears to be bad.
