Help with isos

nintenman · July 12th, 2003

I am making back ups of my ps1 games.
I have made a copy of my final fantasy VII game.
It is taking up quite a bit of room and I was wondering if i can make them
small enough to fit on a 700 MB CD-RW.

P.S.
this may sound stupid but are there any CD-R,CD-RW hold more than 700 MB because i can't find them if there are.

the image ususally is larger than the cd itself. It contains error protection data and so. Just burn them on 700 mb cd's, they will fit.

If you make it with CloneCD or Alcohol 120%, the software will tell you if the CD is enough or not. Just try burn it and CloneCD/Alcohol will tell you before the burning started.

There are, but most readers/writers can't use them.

If I'm not wrong, my friend get one 99Min CD. To burn it, I need to flash my Plextor, well the firmware need to be updated to do this "beyod hope" CDs

i used isobuster to make the back up and i was wondering if i could shrink the iso enough to fit a 700 MB CD-RW. The iso is around 712 MB I saved it in .iso (if it helps)

Baicly like Kane said, most cd writers don't use then, and I have had a friend who bought some off of ebay who claimed the discs don't work after a few months. So think twice before useing them.

Since you're using CD RW disc, you can try it. If failed then you can erase the disc. A good burner program should know if the image fit on CD or not, I dunno about ISO Buster, so you should try it by yourself.
