CD-R advice?

Post by **Ivo** » Mon Jan 15, 2007 11:10 am

I vaguely remember this coming up a while ago. Any general advice on which CD-Rs to buy and use for Saturn and DC backups?

Apparently here in the U.K. discs range from 0.20 to 0.30 per (in GBP) - I couldn't find spindleless packs which I expect might be cheaper (I think there are some packs that came just wrapped in paper or something, right?)

I bought a 100 pack of Memorex from argos for £18, came on a spindle, they work flawlessly. I also had some MR CD-R discs that I bought from a website, cant remember which one, they worked fine too.

I also should mention that I only tried them on Saturn and not DC games

I used TDK CD-Rs for Saturn and they worked fine.
