I use Philips DVD-R and ImgBurn with .iso dumps from the Internet Archive to burn discs to this thing. The game runs fine, but the video cutscenes are always choppy with glitchy audio.
Video cutscenes on retail copies work fine.
Anyone else have this issue? Do you use a different DVD brand or burner?
The Xbox has a hard drive mate
these
imgburn:
psx cd-r 2x
ps2, xbox dvd-r 4x
also this
burn your discs as slow as possible, 2X speed.
This is a myth
Not the early 2000s anymore moron, always burn on 8x speed
The speed is less important than the write byte size
How do you control that?
Set your burner to automatic write speed or try moving into hard drive loading.
because it has to read the cd over and over to successful read the data from your shit burns
even if you think your game "runs fine" it's still putting 10x the wear on drive
Most PS2 and similar are burn to 4x or 8x top is more advice to burn it at 4x.
>doesn't know
There are DIY ps2 kits and are cheaper then buying a used console online.
If is xbox any pc part is good (replaced dvdv reader with a bluray reader from pc no issue at all)

Bullshit. Standard PC drives can't read Xbox discs, and Xbox DVD drives use a proprietary power connector not found anywhere else.
But I also burn discs with ESR for use on PS2 and don't have the same issue
My Xbox only has 3.6GB left on the HDD, and it's 1.6 so replacing it is a bit more difficult.
I already tried burning slowly but no luck
>and it's 1.6 so replacing it is a bit more difficult.
??
It's literally the same shit on every single xbox. Swapped mine without any issues with chimp
Possibly old CD-Rs. Buy a new batch.
Ignore this anon. You need slow CD-rs to be able to burn slowly, otherwise you're stuck at whatever the disk is rated at, likely 8x or 16x
On the disk it says it has 1-16x speed
So long as you have a drive within that range then you can burn.
You're free to try selecting a slower speed than the disk is rated for but the burning software will have the drive automatically check the disk information for its lowest supported write speed and then select that instead. This isn't my opinion, it's how the technology works.
Holy frick you're stupid, you can always burn at a lower speed
I burn CD-Rs for my chipped Saturn and my laptop doesn't burn less than 8x. They still work fine though. Do you have a disk drive from the 90s?
The proposition was that if the disc doesn't say 1x you can't burn at 1x. That's wrong. Obviously your drive must support burning at 1x.
That's bullshit. Modern drives only support writing discs at certain speeds (16x, 24x, 32x, etc.)

eBay is full of Xboxes with broken disk drives. I would be afraid to burn disks for this fricker
>broken
most of the time it's either the rubber band or erosion of a trace on the PCB
Why aren't you using the HDD on the system? You get the added benefit of loading games faster with little to no issues (provided your Xbox isn't a 1.6, in which case patches are required).
because my system is 1.6
You're on your own then.
That's literally not an issue
Mine is 1.6 and it works fine
Ok yeah yeah HDD, but no one in the entire world has ever got cutscenes to play smoothly with burned discs?
Most people don't use burned discs because it's pointless when you can use the HDD
If it's slow it means it's not reading them fast enough
Yeah pretty much. I used burned DVDs because I’m a massive pussy and afraid of taking the Xbox apart. Once the disc drive dies I’ll go for the surgery but not a second before hand
>surgery
huh?
it's on top
Don’t you have to get a comparable hard drive? And do it with power switching?
>people saying to burn at a lower speed/slowest possible speed
Again with the cargo cultists.
This isn't 2003 anymore, no one is using IDE anymore, you aren't going to burn through your burner's buffer faster than SATA can fill it. Burning at a slower speed was a precaution to prevent buffer underrun caused by burning the disc faster than you could get the data to the drive. This hasn't been an issue since we moved from IDE to SATA. It certainly wasn't an issue with SATA2, and sure as shit won't be an issue with SATA3.
Burning at a slower speed in 2024 and thinking it will prevent a bad burn is like de-fragmenting a SSD to prevent slowdown from long seek times. The only thing you will accomplish is wasting time.
Most people on this board weren't even born or were younger than 5 in 2003, nobody will understand what you're talking about. This is a LARP board for zoomers.
