After 20 years they still can't accept N64 was a failure
>disc rot
holy fuck Sup Forums actually did it, they actually fucking made their meme real
>disc rot
is it really that bad. how long does it take for a disc to start rotting
>An excellent feature on the phenomenon of "rotational velocidensity" has recently been published on Tedium, and is well worth a read. We'll attempt to summarise here, but the long of short of it is that CDs - and most other forms of optical media - have much shorter lifespans than previously assumed.
looks like NIntendolife never touched a modded PS1
low long before they start to write articles about Switch's SD card superiority?
nigga im from Sup Forums and i never touched a console
disc rot was a fucking joke from the board, use the archives newfag
My dad has a music collection from since CDs were invented and they are fine.
If you take care of your games you'll probably never have problems.
Disc rot was a 80s things and was fixed before CD-ROM was even invented.
Cuck
M8 I've seen that Nintendolife's youtube channel
PSX in general had more and better games but the N64 had a larger influence in the industry.
The only discs I have with rot are old cdrw backups.
Even my ancient porn DVDs that came inside adult mags from before the internet still work fine.
CDs deteriorate but it has nothing to do with disc rot
My personal experience: have a original 1988 phillips music CD is in pristine condition but a 1 dollar chinese from 2006 is not.
I literally have burnt CD-Rs from 20 years ago that still work with no issues on my modded Playstation, Nintoddlers are hilarious
>All roms will eventually become of unplayable because of data rot
probably because 20 years ago 70% of CDRs on the market were decent.
However since mid 2000s there are only 2 quality brands
>Not using an indestructable 5-dimensional crystalline storage medium
Not true we solved the data rot problems by removing the rotational velocity of a normal hard drive and creating the SSD.
Disc rot happens when
>Bad dye is used for manufacturing the disc
>Not keeping it in proper holding/storing conditions
>Damage like a scratch that is deep (light ones can affect it too but deep is worse)
>The quality of materials (non-dye)
>The medium itself if applicable
>Sunlight (direct)
>Time (usually only accelerated by the above, otherwise no issue)
Bit rot happens when
>Not kept in proper holding/storage conditions
>Poor chip quality
>Irregular voltage passing through the circuit (too high or too low can fuck with it)
>Time
>Also time
>And fucking time
>Gets worse over time at increased rates jesus Christ
Then there's the difference between flash memory and ROM chips. There's a fundamental difference for why one is more reliable but both could be a problem.
Mini blurays when so we can have disc mediums for portable systems again.
