Burning PSX CDs - Issues

Hi all,I've recently got myself a chipped PSX, and it came with a downloaded/burnt game which works fine. I have tried a couple of times to burn CTR onto disc but it doesn't seem to work properly. It either:-Gets stuck on the ps logo
-Goes past the ps logo, starts the game but the sound is all messed up and doesn't load properly (doesn't get to the title screen)
-1 time (out of about 12 resets), it loaded the game (the sound still messed up), but I could actually complete a full race before it then broke. Next attempt back to ps logo problem.I have been using imgburn, and used the .cue file. I've tried burning at default speed, 16x and 4x with no luck. I am using Verbatim CD-Rs, 700mb, 52x, 80 min. They are not CD-RW - I know they don't work.I read somewhere that the Playstations don't like some makes of CD - is this right and do know if Verbatim is in this category? What do you recommend I do?Many Thanks!Dave

verbatim should work fine, try burning slower than 4x, like 2x.

have you tried other games or used it on a ps emulator?? might be an incomplete file when you downloaded it or might be the cd/dvd writer device.never had a problem with any brand of cd. mostly a shitty cd writer like in my laptop. had to use my pc's writer to have a successful burn.worst case scenario there is the the console's lens must be giving up since its already 2013.
