Hey everyone, this is my first post here. I bought my Sega Saturn about 1 year ago, and it has steadily been becoming my favorite system. Desperate to play some of the best titles for the console but too broke to shell out the money for some of the expensive ones, I just bought a modchip from jandaman.com. I'm not very worried about installing the chip; I have a 32 pin model 2 Saturn, it should be a piece of cake. However, I don't have a CD burner yet, and as I am looking into buying one, I question whether or not one model might be better than the other at making functional and reliable backups of Saturn games, and the occasional Sega CD one as well.
Here are the two models I am considering most:
Plextor PX-W4824A
LiteOn LTR-52246S
I know that the LiteOn is cheaper, but the Plextor comes with a nice package, so it doesn't really matter to me. The deciding factor might be which is better at making backups. What do you think? Does it really even matter?
Also, this is further down line, but I am curious as to which type(s) of CD-R's happen to be the best for backups as well. Of course, knowing which programs to use would be of help as well, although I hear CDRWin and Nero tend to be the best.
Sorry if this post is annoying, and about the fact that I am so much of a newb at this. I'm sure I can figure out a lot about all this stuff on my own, but if any of you could help me fill in some of the blanks, I would really appreciate it. Thanks for whatever you can do for me! :thumbs-up:
