Problem with burning Saturn ISO

[Vetus]

I'm using ImgBurn in order to write Saturn ISOs to CDs and play them to my modchipped Saturn. The problem is that everytime I try to write an ISO, an error message appears and the writing progress is unsuccessful. That's why I chose 24x speed, then 4x...the same result. The ISOs are fine because I could play them to Saturn emulator. I have never met something similar while writing ISOs for other consoles (Wii, Gamecube, PSX, PS2).

Any idea what did went wrong?

You might want to post the error message and/or screen shot to help trouble shoot. Make sure your media is good too. Sometimes you just get bad media and the discs are unusable.

Like I said the media is good since they play fine on Saturn emulator. And I tried many different media again and again. Next time I try again to write a game I'll post the error message since I forgot to make a sceenshot of the error message last time.

It sounded like you tried the ISOs on the emulator, not the burnt CDs. When I say media, I mean the CDs you are using.

If the CDs work fine in an emulator, what do they do when you put them in the Saturn? What behavior do you get?

[Vetus]

Sorry, my mistake. At the emulator I run the games' ISO files directly (to be more exact the bin/files) and not the games from cds. As about the behaviour of the failed-writted cds when I put them on Saturn they run as music cds from the cd-player program of Saturn (aka they play music samples from the game) or they run as corrupted music cds.

As about the cd media, I use Verbatim, the best cd/dvd media for games iso (and not only) which never failed to me (unless I have downloaded a corrupted iso).

My Saturn is picky for CDs. Verbatim didn't work on mine. Do you have other Verbatim burns that work?

I've had good luck with Sony and Taiyo Yuden.
