First off I dont have a DVDR just a CDRW drive.


I asked if I could make backups on cdr and i was told YES but it would be SLOW.


Now Im told CDR will never work on the XBOX but some CDRW will :confused:


But on some NFOs it says Burn to a CDR. :confused:


Why would they be ripped to fit on CDR if they will never work on CDR.

Also when on a cdrw or cdr is the actual gameplay slower or just the loading times.


HELP ME GUYS :)

You may have some luck with cd-r if you find the right brand...but your liekly to have better luck with cd-rw. Loading times are effected as the dvd-rom laser has a harder time tracking. You may also get issues with FMV skipping. Gameplay may be effected. Performance is dependant on the brand of media. Obviously some is better than others.

cdrws are so much more reliable. I havent got a single cdr to work no matter what speed i burn. But Verbatim cdrws work super!!!! I would reccoment them for sure ;)

Only certain (thompson, I think?) drives seem to play cdrs
