Will cdrs wear out a pc engine cd system?

[TheOldMan]

Which component of an optical drive wears out a CD,

and again, you miss the point.
The CD may not wear out, but the drive sure will.

(note: the topic subject says -nothing- about cdrs/cds wearing out.)

Old Man,  dealing with idiots here.  May as well be talking the wall.

Um, the first post suggests he does not want to wear out his CDs, doesn't it? If not then please reread the first post and tell me why the OP is using CDRs for the games he owns.

In case YOU missed MY point, I have no issues with CDRs. Yes, the topic has been beaten to death here.

He specifically mentions the drive. i'm not choosing sides, just letting you know so you can fix your post.

I'd like to play cdr backups of my pc engine cd games so I can store the originals.  I'm wondering, would playing a cdr wear out the cd drive faster than using an original cd?

Yes people I'm fully aware that things eventually break.  The whole point of this thread is to figure out the best way to treat the hardware to keep it functional for as long as possible.

Just take good care of it. What they are trying to tell you is it does not matter what you do. It could die today, it could die 10 years from now. if it breaks, there are people here than can fix it, cheaply. Play it, enjoy it, have fun doing it.

Great I didn't know if they're easy to fix or not.  I'm also wondering where I can buy a replacement laser for the original pc engine cd unit.

[HercTNT]

the mods sections goes into it. unless you know how to put one in though, your better off having one of the techs do if for you.

Get with BlueBMW or one thesteve.  They normally buy these.  I believe BlueBMW has a ton in stock right now actually Drakon.

Much appreciated!

Yeah, I got that. I just get tired of people asking the same old things, and never actually listening to the (long discussed) arguements and thinking about it, or even searching to see if it's been discussed before

Um, the first post suggests he does not want to wear out his CDs, doesn't it?.....

Um, not really. He may be worried about them getting scratched or something. He just says he wants to store them, without mentioning why. You just assumed it's because he's worried they will wear out.

In case YOU missed MY point, I have no issues with CDRs.

Yet. And when you do, the repair guys are here to help. Maybe.

[jperryss]

Ok man, whatever. I have no post to "fix".

Yes of course a CD drive wears out with use. My response was based on my interpretation of the comment as comparing discs to tires.

I was not the OP in this thread. Sorry if you're sick of people asking the same questions, but this isn't my thread.

I misinterpreted a comment. No need to call me an idiot.

Jerry, i was not attacking you, i was actually trying to help. You made the statement that he was trying to protect his cd's. If you read his post, he specifically says hes trying to save wear and tear on his machine, the he follows it up by stating that he does not care about the cd's he's fine with whatever. I was trying to give you a chance to correct it before it started to look like you had no clue what your talking about. Your dead wrong on this one, and were giving Theoldman an attitude. He eventually got irritated with you because it was obvious you werent going to listen no matter what he said.

In case you missed in, this is what drakon said:

notice he says "point of the thread" and "best way to treat the hardware to keep it functional for as long as possible".
