Title: Sega Saturn CD - Cracked after 20 years Post by: JerryGreenwood on July 22, 2016, 02:04:32 PM Sadly, CD rot is real. Fortunately, this guy exists. Most of this video is tech jargon that I'll never understand, but it sounds like good news for emulation and custom hardware.

I don't mind modding but I hate when you have to physically remove parts like the CD drive to install a mod, I like to keep the system as functional as it can be with and without the mod. So, I started following all the guys social media hopefully he puts out his mod board soon and for a decent price.

Title: Re: Sega Saturn CD - Cracked after 20 years Post by: techwizard on August 03, 2016, 04:00:00 PM I have yet to experience disc rot. same here, but i don't have any disc-based games older than PS1/Saturn era, and i've never had issues with those. maybe older CDs were more prone to it?

I have a stack of "Great Quality" CDRs I bought at Fry's around 1998 (maybe it was still Incredible Universe then?) which is just filled with disc rot. I have a very small number of games with possible disc rot. As I understand it, the bulk of disc rot occurred in CDs manufactured in a narrow time period in the mid/late 90's. Laser Discs get it too but I haven't noticed any on my discs. |
