Black bottom CDR? What brand are they.

Generally speaking I use TDK for all my CDR based systems and never have issues, never bother with cheap brands, they skip music, dont work at all, etc.

Actually, other than DL-DVDR I use TDK for everything.

I have great success with Taiyo Yuden media for everything. Saturn, Sega CD, PSX. The TY DVD-Rs even work with my gamecube with no laser adjustment. They pretty much invented the CD-R, so they have to be good.

Yeah dude black bottom CDRs. If you look at the bottom of the PS1 original disk they have a black bottom. This is so they can read better and are not as hard on the laser. The darker the bottoms the better the disk. I just wanted to make sure this hold true for the sega saturn too...

I have been running Taiyo Yuden CD-R for years now... I think I will stick with them...

Thanks everyone...
