Rule 3 is changing: r/psx is Not the Place to Advertise Your Indie Games
tl;dr the fine print of Rule 3 has been adjusted to explicitly forbid modern indie games unless playable on original hardware (homebrew)
It's my own fault that this change has to be made, I allowed a few "psx-inspired" indie game posts to remain up despite breaking the rules because of the large amount of upvotes they received.
I'd post and sticky comments like "It's off topic but y'all like it so I'll leave it up". My approach to moderation has always been to let the community make content decisions when appropriate. Unfortunately adjustments need to be made to protect the subject matter of this community.
Due to the massive influx of shovelware indie games that are "psx inspired" getting posted here, I'm sorry to say that Rule 3 will have to be more strictly enforced.
From this point forward, for indie games to be posted here they will have to be playable on PSX hardware or an emulator. Games that run on real hardware fall firmly into the category of homebrew, which is perfectly appropriate to discuss here. Games that run in PSX emulators but not real hardware are also allowed. "Retro Inspired" or "PSX Inspired" games that do not fulfill either of those 2 requirements will be removed and the poster will get a 24 hour ban.
The ban is meant to be informative to the poster, not punitive. However repeat offenders will be permanently banned.
Here is a friendly flowchart to help you decide whether or not it's appropriate to post your indie game in this community:

Thank you for reading and thank you for posting. Best of luck in all your indie dev adventures.

Best burner/speed for black Ritek CD-Rs on PS1?
Hi! I’m trying to get the best results burning PS1 games on black Ritek CD-Rs.
- Media: Ritek, ATIP
97m15s17f - Burner: LG GCE-8520B IDE, firmware 1.00
- ImgBurn: 1x, 4x and 8x all got stuck at “Writing LeadIn”
- Alcohol only shows 8x minimum
- Another burner I have can burn at 4x, and these same discs work perfectly.
I’m mainly concerned about FMV and audio skipping, so I’m looking for the best burner/speed combination for these Ritek discs.
Any recommendations for old IDE burners that work well with Ritek/PS1?

Weird memory card issue
So I have this problem with my memory card where I am able to save the game, load the game within in the game. But every time when I turn off my console, the the save files are gone and the memory card is empty.
When I play Crash 3 Warped for example, every single time when I save the game I need to format the memory card. I've already tried to clean it too.
The memory card is a 3rd party card (Gamester 1 Mb).
Is my card corrupted or is the battery completely dead inside? Do I need to get a new card or is there anyway to hard reset the card?
Thanks in advance!

Am I on the right track?
Hit with a nostalgia bug and recently bought a PSone, refurbished (seriously, it looks damn good). Guy guaranteed a modchip.
So I went ahead and got myself some CD-Rs, an upscaler, a burner, the works.
Console reads OG games just fine, but doesn't read a 10x or 16x write speed backup at all.
I'm about to open it up to find out if there actually is a modchip installed. Any other troubleshooting I could do?
