DVD Drive Model: Asus DRW-24F1ST a (Says it has latest firmware when trying to update).
Hi guys, basically I've started burning games for my Playstation 1 and to make good quality backups I need to burn at 2/4x speed so that my 20 year old PS1's laser is able to handle the burn.
However, for some reason (on all brands of 1-52x speed) CD-R's I can only burn at "Supported Write Speeds: 16x, 24x, 32x, 40x, 48x" (WTF?!)
This is using Daemon Tools / Imgburn / PowerIso - All 3 show the same.
While using the same discs on my Girlfriend's laptop there are only 3 options, 10 x (interesting), 16x and 24x.
Now this clearly means the discs are not the issue.
Is there something I can do short of buying another optical drive to make these discs burn at a speed that will not make them useless for PS1 gameplay?
And for anyone wondering I have tested these burns and even at 16x speed there is audio-stuttering (a common issue for cd-r's that have been burned too fast for PS1). Games that were burned on my ex-gf's laptop years ago all still work fine so it's nothing wrong with the PS1.
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions? I have tried updating the firmware but I can't seem to find that EXACT model's updater. I did find one for a DRW-24B1ST and tried to run it and it said that it was "Up To Date".
Very frustrated with this whole thing. I am considering buying the 4x write speed Verbatim's but tbh that seems like a silly idea when these 1-52x speed CD-R's clearly can be written at speeds other than the 4 my drive seems to offer (since my GF's offers the 5th option <10x>).
- Very frustrated!
EDIT - Using windows own update tool in Device Manager it says "best driver is installed", so it's definitely up to date. Maybe someone knows of some sort of way to flash it?
EDIT - https://www.asus.com/Optical-Drives-Storage/DRW24F1ST/specifications/ - Specs of the drive.
Edit - We are both using Windows 10.
