Haha!! Yeah I don’t think I have ever seen that before.

so Windows doesn't necessarily care that there is a disk in the drive...it cares that it's a CORRUPTED disk in drive. disable booting from external media in the "Boot Sequence" section of your bios. once the installation fails, a resume call has already been placed on that part of the disk space so installation can be resumed like on a HDD/SSD/USB...but that "resume" function doesn't work on CD/DVD/BR disks and there isn't even any formatting you'll be able to do to revive it. since that space has been write-protected to allow verifying the files and "resuming", Windows tries to read the disk but can't make heads or tails of the data as that "resume" call on the disk acts as an "execute" call instead, so it locks up and can even do so before the system has booted if the media is still in the drive. Windows also remembers that there were operations in progress during a lock-up/reboot/sleep and wants to try and continue from there as well from memory...and we all know how Windows handles resuming functions from memory. it's been probably 14 years since i've actually encountered this issue anymore and i'm having nightmare flashbacks seeing it happen again 😂

We appreciate you spending the rest of your week in jail for mid tier vandalism. Worth it.

For those interested: the reason write speeds went to sh*t after a while is pretty simple. It's based on pure geometry: the data on the disk is organised in rings, similar to hard drives. The drive can only spin so fast before the disk would literally burst to pieces (no joke - it happened sometimes with shoddy disks and very fast drives). The outer rings of the disk contain much more data (they have a larger circumference) and data can be read and written *much* faster to them, given the disk spins fast underneath the laser. The further in you go, the smaller the rings of data get and the less data each ring contains, so both reading and writing become significantly slower. On consoles with optical drives, developers often spend significant amounts of time organising game data in such a way, that the most important stuff is stored on the outer rings of the disks.

I am fairly certain that the disk drive was set as the 1st boot device by default once you plugged it in. You generally have to go into bios and set it to be the last option or eject the disk like with old floppy drives or it won't boot properly.

@paulsaulpaul

Жыл бұрын

Yes, you are correct. I'm 40 and in computers my whole life. Since before SATA ports were on consumer motherboards and after, every BIOS I used had the CD-ROM as the first boot device before the hard drive. The Windows installation disc would actually check for an MBR on the first hard drive to see if it pointed to a Windows boot loader, and it would skip the disk. You could tell because it would say "press any key to boot the windows disc" and it would count down a few seconds and then boot the hard drive, so many people never changed the default first boot device from the optical drive. It would cause an issue with a different disc in the drive if that disc was bootable.

Before steam, it was common thing to play the games directly from the CD without installing. Because in Bulgaria there were no original games they all were pirated and they were selling the games already installed and not with the setup files in the CD. So we were playing the games directly from CD and it were working just fine. The last games I played this way was NFS Hot Pursuit 2, Serious Sam the First Encounter, Sven XXL, Driver and Half-Life 1.5.

A very very long time ago, I was experiencing a very odd slowdown issue with my computer. It was running Win 98, and the computer starting grinding to a halt when trying to load any games. This went on for a day or so and I was trying everything. Then for no good reason except frustration, while I was attempting to load a game, I hit the eject button on my CD drive. The game then instantly loaded. I can only assume that when the drive was closed, Windows was trying to read from the drive, even though it was empty. Who knows, I bought a new drive and the issue went away. Right at 5:48 in this video reminded me of that once forgotten escapade.

The way he said "BYE!" at the end 🤣

Steam had a default option to archive your games onto discs for the longest time. It was so unreliable that it's safer to just copy the games directory yourself.I checked and it's now just a file backup to a directory.

I suspect the half-life in-game stuttering was because it was running a version of the engine that no longer accounts for optical media in combination with a version of the game's data that wasn't intended to be read from optical media. Back in the day, they'd take things like data layout on the disc quite seriously to squeeze that last bit of speed out of the data streaming process (none of which the setup in this video can do).

At one point cd drives were actually used in tandem with hard drives because combined they had better speeds to stream assets for “gameplay” very few games took advantage of this.

Steam got tired counting and just said "1YEAR REMAINING" LOL

I remember buying Monkey Island for my Amiga 500 - actual box, with a manual and eleven 3.5" floppy disks. Practically every time you you moved your character off the screen to another location you would be prompted to insert Disk X and then had to wait while it chugged away and loaded that part of the game - so frustrating when you realised that you went left instead of right - you had to wait for the disk to load, then navigate back, then wait for that disk to load, then go to correct location and wait for that disk to load. This was even worse because the Amiga 500 couldn't hold the whole game in memory so the disk loading was a constant feature throughout playing the whole game - it wasn't a simple case of load all the disks into memory and play the game. We still thought it was fantastic though.

5:54 seem pretty clear your bios has boot from optical first, and since there was no OS on the optical disc, it got hung-up. Simple Bios setting. TL;DR it's not a windows 11 issue, it's a bios setting

On the plus side....you have a few more coasters for your cups! 🤣🤣

remember when the ps2 used to run the whole ass game off the dvds? Nowadays, ps5 copy the data to the ssd and then launch the game

pretty sure the blue ray drives that have m-disc on the front are capable of directly reading ps3 games, so that might be why it was so expensive.

Seriously, we need to get Dawid to try some RPCS3 emulation for our entertainment! I use this exact same drive in my PC for that exact reason!

Seeing such old games playing off a cd has me MYSTy-eyed.
