    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.

    I found that I still had two plastic tubes of DVD+Rs!

        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.
