   @Moon yeah, I know, I've actually done my research to figure out what the problem was. It just turned out to be the programs. I've found that you had to use JVC or some Japanese company CDs for it to work on the original, that's nuts
   
   But yeah, once I got the right program, I just put any CD I had laying around, AWS full speed and it just did it :shrugz:
   
   But yes, apparently there's a bunch of reported problems for the Duo some people are having, so your system being a dud is a possibility, but that's a pain in the ass to prove if you don't have any original cart or CD

     Some old consoles (Both the PS3 and the PS2 excluding the very first production run version) had anti-piracy features baked into the disc drives that included a blacklist for discs, plus a hardware checksum to verify the drive itself wasn't swapped.

     @Christmas_Man @Moon the TG-16 CD came even before the Sega CD, in an era where owning a CD burner was not really possible for the average family, so there's "no DRM", I say that in quotes because the weird data thing, verify failing on burn, the original CD drive being difficult, etc. could be some sort of basic DRM by itself
