Bummer. So many of those Japanese developers, designers, musical composures, etc from the 80s were pure genius. I used that code all the time in Contra and TMNT

Update: I tried burning with a Verbatim DataLifePlus 650MB CD and it worked like a charm. It still loads a bit slower than the original disc, but at least it actually works. I guess 650MB vs 700MB was the key, more so than the burn speed in this case.

As someone who has fought through burning issues with my Duo, I feel for you. First thing I'd change is those CD-Rs. I've recently gotten some Verbatim DataLife Plus discs that work well in mine, outside of a few edge cases. It's probably going to be hard to find cheap 650MB discs that will still w...

I cant imagine finding an old 2X/4X burner that will work with a modern PC. For reference, I have a Asus DRW-24B1ST (the slightly newer DRW-24F1ST is available on Amazon) SATA drive in my computer, and Verbatim CD-R 97458 (also available on Amazon), and I can burn at 4x. I could be wrong, but I thi...

Yeah, with a system that old, it may be your current burner and disc selection is not going to be a good match. I'm sure the discs you're making might work in some units, but it's going to be a crapshoot. Thats a bummer. I cant imagine finding an old 2X/4X burner that will work with a modern PC. Ma...

I'm using Maxell 700MB CDRs. With my combo Blu-Ray/DVD/CD-R drive, the only speeds it supports are 16x, 24x, 36x, and 48x.

I go back and forth. I still have my beloved Sony WEGA 36" Trinitron HD thats a beautiful TV, however lately I've mainly been using more modern 1080P/4K tvs with my trusty XRGB Mini. RGB is pretty much all I can tolerate these days. Even my 3DO and PC Engine CD is RGB modded. I also love the s...

If you can, get your hands on 650 MB CDRs. They are pretty hard to find, but the Duo was out long before 700 MB CDs were, and that extra read area can sometimes be trouble for the laser motor mechanism. Burn using the slowest speed possible on your burner, 4x max if possible. Also, make sure you ha...

Hi guys, I could use some help. I've recently amassed a pretty sweet collection of PC Engine CD games for my RGB/region modded Duo-R. I wanted to have backup discs as I do with my other CD systems like Sega CD, Neo-Geo CD, 3DO, etc. However for some reason I cant get any of the CDs I burn to work on...
