My TG-CD was having trouble with games on CD-R. Like Riot Zone. After the 1st boss battle, it would just sit there and  you could hear the laser seeking and seeking over and over again.

I was using Sony and Memorex CD-R. I searched these forums a bit and got the tip to purchased a spindle of Taiyo Yuden Silver CD-R. With these my TG-CD has no troubles at all playing the same games. The loading and seeking is fast and the drive sounds like its working as easy as reading originals.

That's been my experience.

I'm kinda curious about this also. I was having issues with some CD-Rs, and a couple of games, after I did my pot adjustments, I can load regular games fine, but no CDRs.

BTW, in your alls experiance, what is better, a Taiyo 80min or an MAM-A (which I hear are just as good) 74 min? I figure a 74 minute disc is easier for the Duo to read, but am a bit unsure, as they are harder to find.

The Taiyo Yuden I purchased simply said "silver". They were not expensive. I had a spindle of 100 shipped for $26 total.

It is probably worth mentioning that the writing speed is important too.
I have a VAIO laptop that can burn 10X as the slowest and the TG-CD doesn't like discs burned on that.
Vs my newer Toshiba laptop that can burn at 8X and those discs work perfectly.
