    I Remember it again. Its been years since i done this. Burned about 40 games. I need a new pile now. I just started up my old asus pc from 2012 amazing the battery still works.
    Great video tho. I used imgburn aswell. Its so easy to do. Its a little different when burning games for ps1? But almost the same. I think ps1 was way easy and faster.
    I also remeber write speed to set a 1x the slowest possible. I had trouble with some game burned at 2x speed. Maybe my old laptop is used up. But keep that in mind! Low speed. Whatever if it takes and hour. You get free games! 😳😎🤘
    Keep them burned disc running.
