Burning cd games at faster speeds, bad or fine?

[Arkhan]

From what I know:

Burning at faster speeds = more effort for the disc to be read and properly loaded. (wears out that shit faster.  Doesn't immediately make it implode.  Real discs do the same thing but will take longer.)
Using janked up CDRs = lens goes out of it's comfort zone and gets stuck (Poke it back to a safe area carefully and let it fix itself by loading a new game)

I've seen CDROMROMs break from normal use.  No CD-Rs ever used.  So, it's not like you're safe if you just use real CDs.


It's like having a keyboard that's guaranteed for 1,000,000 keystrokes.

A normal chicken-pecker typist will get a lot more "use" out of it than someone who types 200WAM and sits on the internet all day posting on forums and taunting n00bs on CS, etc.

I have been using blank burned cd-r\dvd on just about every console i own, and the only 2 die on me.

The playstation 1 was the first it was a japan release model that in the end had to play it on its side but so did everyone else over time as they were shit.

the second was my good old fat ps2 run copy's on that suckers for years finally died, but i will put that down to just wearing it out over 5 years.

everything else i got is still working strong, so i personal cant say i have every had burned disk kill a console. I suppose factory pressed disks have to be better quality than burned ones, but i bought shit original disks that i have had to return to the shop, also burnt bad disks as well.

so just use good quality disks and a good image you should be fine or if your that worried about it just use originals.

so here is another thing to think of i was playing my last alert original the other day, disk looks ok maybe a few minor scratches. anyway finished it and the ending music was jumping all over the place. so if i burn copy of this that works with no issues would you still be better of using the original with jumping music or the copy.

I would say copy how about you ?.
