Re: burning cd32 iso's

Firstly hello all, am new here :) had an amiga during the early 90's and decided the othe day to get her out again and see what happens.  

I've been playin through some of my old CD32 games but also have got my hands on a few of the iso out there.  As is mentioned above in the thread I too am having serious trouble buring anything and getting it to work.  It appears that games of a few mb in size work fine but anything bigger always fails.  

I've used Nero, Alcohol 120% and ImgBurn with exactly the same results in each.  The majority of games just sit on the amiga cd32 screen and finally after 10minutes dump out into a workbench with some random error.  

Could my problem be that my old machine is on its way out? Or is it just that she was built before the days of CD-R's and the drive don't like them with to much info on.  

Any advice would be great.  I can always just use WINUAE but would rather be using the real deal.  

P.S. Sorry for the long post.

Just out of interest is it possible to 'swap' the drive for a more modern drive so that the cd32 is capable of reading better.  

Oh and I'm still not having any luck.  Have tried more ISO burning tools am burning at 4x using Verbatim CD-R's.

Cheers for the further advice guys.  Have tried the ISOs in UAE and they are working fine.  Also decided to try my original copy of cannon fodder which the CD32 won't read and it works on the PC so am starting to think its my old console.  Shame really as I was in the mood for some old skool gaming.  I think it will be easier to get another machine off ebay rather than try and hack this one apart.

FIXED IT

Decided to open the cd32 and have a look.  On the CD Drives board (under the metal cover) there are 4 little blue chaps that you can adjust.  Since i thought my drive was knackered I gave them a little tweek firstly right after which nothing at all worked then left after which everything works.  Don't asked what they are, how they worked or if it will work for you as I don't really have a clue.  Perhaps someone could shed some light but is safe to say she now reads the cd-r's as if they were originals.

I think i'll leave mine as it is now.  I had already ordered a new drive for the cd32 so if the laser goes i'll just swap out.  But as the other have said if this is increasing the voltage then i would recommend only touching it as a last resort i.e. when the drive doesn't work anyway.
