My last PSX Backup burned @8x ended up nailed on the wall :P
I don't know if my burner is capable of making good scans, but the cds burned @ lower speeds get a lower score in the nero cd/dvd speed quality test

Which dvdrw burner do you have ?
Philips 1640P, Firmware 3.7

The PS2 has no problems with other PSX backups or PS2 backups.
My ancient PSX can read this CD correctly w/o any hangups etc, so it shouldnt be the cd either, unless the PS2 has a more sensitive laser/system than the PSX.

I found an info on the net saying that Valkyrie Profile is very sensitive when it comes to scratches - my original doesn't seem to have any, but maybe if it's so sensitive to scratches then it also is sensitive to any bad data on the disc itself?

I tried using the CD-rom lens cleaner cd, but it didn't change anything.
