CD burning

Neo_ZX · June 13th, 2001

While burning a backup of a playstation game from an ISO, the system froze while burning was complete at 100% but still writing the lead out for the disc. Will this game work properly? It runs in ePSXe but I'm concerned it might crash later.

This is one of those questions that can only be answered with the overwhelmingly unhelpful answer of "it depends."

If the burn had actually completed and the computer froze as a result of something unrelated to the burn, it's likely that the disc is fine. However, if the TOC hadn't been written completely it can lead to errors (potentially major ones at that). The only way to be certain is to try using the media in a given player and seeing if it works correctly.

There are many cd check verifcation programs that can verify the contents of the CD and make shure that the CD is 100%.

The one i use is just called "CDCheck"... do a search for it... Its a quite usefull program..
