Comment on "I used to be with it"

I made some DVDs for someone recently. First I had to dig out my old laptop that has a drive. Then install authoring and burning software.

All the help forum posts that I found were at least 15 years old, I’m amazed that any of the recommended software still existed.

Linux has built-in in dvd burning and ripping tools that work amazingly. Been ripping all my ps1 and ps2 games.

  FYI: unless you have a very specific model of CD drive, your PS1 backups aren’t perfect copies. They will work but the copy protection might not have been read properly. It’s not important in 99.9% of use cases. If you need a perfect copy, download NoIntro dumps.

    +R.
    
    If you’d asked me, I’d have said that I always bought -R, but I guess I was different person back then.
