    Hey, I don't know if this is the right place but I'll go for it anyway. I am loading my playstation one games onto my laptop to be able to play them "on the go" and some of them are pretty worn and torn. I am using Clone CD to get them on but for some of them progress is EXTREMELY slow (4kb/s) and in the log of clone cd it says stuff like "scanning bad sectors" and then "writing dummy sectors" what I wanna know is if this is happening and I get sorta errors in the log, does that mean at some point into the games they will crash/not work? Errors don't come up but if i look in the log there are some "bad sectors". Any help is appreciated ;)

    The ones giving the errors aren't by any chance the "worn and torn" ones? If so, would you not consider this a pretty good root cause?

    CloneCD has to read every bit exactly in order to work, if it's getting lots of errors it'll slow right down to try and read everything correctly, and possibly keep retrying the bits it's missed. You may be able to turn this off in the options somewhere (haven't used clonecd since the very early days) but if you do there's a good chance your disk won't work. Best thing is to try and get the CDs repaired.
