Burning TG Game CDs

[Magister]

Ok.  Not sure if this is a taboo subject on the forums or not.  Sorry if it is.  And please delete this thread.  Anyways.  I just ordered a Turbo Everdrive and can't wait to get it in.  Been playing games on Magic Engine but it doesn't feel the same.  I'm not one for collecting games, I just enjoy playing them and as much as I would like to have the original copy of the game, in recent years with the prices of some games going through the roof it doesn't seem possible to get my hands on some of them.  I actually have a good library of Hucards, CDs and Super CDs. 

That being said, I would like to burn copies of some of the more out of reach games(I'm looking at you Rondo of Blood) but can't seem to figure it out.  Every time I put the files on a disc I get a loading error on my Turbo Duo.  Any help would be great.

It took me a while to figure out the proper burning steps too.  The number one issue I came across was the CD image I was using wasn't 100% accurate.  You have to make sure it's 100% accurate or it will not play in your DUO.  Some images that aren't perfect will still play on emulators but not on real hardware.  You need to get Turbo Rip.  It's a sweet little program made by the member Nightwolve.  It will check your image to see if it is legit.  Once you verify you have a legit image then burn it using the free burning program called IMG Burn.  Burn at the slowest speed possible then play in your DUO.  Another issue could be that your DUO will not read CDRs.  Have you ever gotten any CDR to play?  Burn a music CD and see if it plays that for starters.  PM if you want the proper Drac X image.  Good luck.

@Magister yes as far as I'm aware you can't discuss burning CDs of games where do you don't own the original copy of the game.

You could rephrase your thread and say I would like to burn CD back ups of my games that I own, such as Dracula X, nudge, nudge, wink, wink.

You can talk about burning games all you want.  The only related rule is that you can't post (or ask for) iso/rom download links.


Follow tbone's advice.  Turbo Rip is great for ripping your own games and verifying that those you've downloaded are okay, and there's the TOC Fixer thing for fixing games that're off; and once you've got a good rip, burn it with Img Burn.  It might take some trial and error to find discs that your system likes (I use Taiyo Yudens), or you might find that your system needs pot adjustments or a new laser to read CDRs.

I use imgburn at 10x and never have a single issue.

If it's a BIN/CUE I use an old ass copy of CDRWin that still works fine.  If it's in demo mode it will also lock itself to the lowest burning speed your drive can do.

Are you on Windows 10?  My old CDRWin doesn't work on it sadly.

Answer:  No. Just no.

Sorry.  I work about 11-12 hours a day so the only time I'm able to get online is on my phone.

I'll remember that in the future.

Thanks for the advice.  I found the files I needed in Paradise. (Wink, Wink)  Just couldn't figure out how to put them on disc.  I'll have to try burning a music cd and see what happens.

I use Falcon Pro CD-Rs and they work great for me. I also use imgburn and all my rips are bin cue style. Haven't had an issue yet. I do wish my drive would go below 10x though. never thought I would ever say that.

[tbone3969]

Do burn speeds really affect the outcome at all?  Is it just a myth?

[Magister]

I'm a bit confused.  Paradise has a CUE and ISO file.  Do I put both files on at the same time?  I tried only putting the CUE one on first and then the ISO, but it won't let me.

Edit:  Nevermind.  I thought you needed the ISO file as well.  Didn't know it was ONLY the CUE file you needed.  Thanks again everyone for the help.

If you burn too fast the old lasers can't read them as well or at all, but burning at 1x is just silly.

Like I said before 10x seems like a good middle ground, it's on the lower end of the spectrum and my systems have never had an issue at that speed.
