/vr/ - Retro Games

Back in the day, I used Plextor drives to burn Dreamcast games, but those were internal drives. I recently looked into getting a USB burner since computer cases don't come with optical drive bays anymore, and all I could find were ones from ASUS, LG, or cheap unknown Chinese brands. I suppose the technology is pretty much taken pretty close to the limit so any will do, just surprising Sony, Plextor, Pioneer, and BenQ bowed out first. In the end I settled for Buffalo, just only because of the looks. It has 2 USB cables in case of low power situations, and they tuck away nicely.

I finally got a disc drive. I don't think you want those discs though. They were purchased long ago in Chinatown, and they are just VCDs, MPEG1 which is inferior to DVDs MPEG2 or whatever h.265 quality you get from your streaming services. The audio is doubled mono, since it uses the left channel for Japanese and the right channel for the Chinese (or Vietnamese? I cannot tell, it doesn't sound like Chinese) dub. Those discs I cannot tell if legit or bootleg, I assume the latter, since they were real cheap and not a source to preserve. Maybe the studios have the reference quality best for preservation.
