I haven't had any problems using CDR copies on my original "briefcase"
style CD-ROM unit. I've only used 74min discs from a spool of generic
silver CDs (no label) and Imation (silver with label) to gold
(forgot the brand) CDs and HP CDRs (back when HP released a 4x writer).
I've found that burning at more than 8x might cause trouble so I usually
burn at 4x (even if the disc and drive support more). I've burned a
few CDs at 24x that work, but most of the time they either don't boot
or the PCE-CD has trouble reading them. However, they work fine in
emulators.
I'm no expert at CD burning by any means, but I have experimented a lot.
For me, the best results are bright colored CDRs (gold, silver), low speed
write, and a good burner. I would assume most burners nowadays are fine.
I don't want to tread too far into "forbidden" territory, but the I got
into burning PCE CDs because of this Xak III site:

This page was mentioned before on the list I believe.
