Low burn speeds is only for older media. Modern media actually prefers a faster burn speed due to the dyes used. It's why on the modern TY media I use, my DTL-H1001H doesn't care if it's burned at 24x or 40x, it works equally as well.

In fact there's too many myths about burn speeds that were true decades ago, but not true these days. Burner quality matters more, but so do media quality. But speeds? No, follow the ATIP that ImgBurn shows you, and chose a burn speed that your media, and burner worked out as the best writing "strategy".

Use ImgBurn, but when choosing a mirror, use the MajorGeeks mirror. Theirs doesn't have the OpenCandy adware that the dev packed in their installer like a sellout.

As for operating systems and burning CD's, any OS can burn CD's. I've burned on DOS, Windows 3.1 (with Nero and a SCSI card/drive), and even on Windows 11 too of course. All you need is the drive, and the software. Windows by itself won't handle BIN/CUE, but will burn ISO's (10 and 11).

(I've been working with burners for a long long time, and still do for CD mastering as I help my father whom is a musician, make golden masters to be sent to duplicators, and have a burner that is of a more professional quality than a regular consumer burner, but either honestly will work as long as your PS1's OPU and mainboard is healthy, but like I stated earlier, burner quality does matter, and of course, I always recommend Taiyo Yuden CD-R's, but if your burner is good enough, even cheap CD-R's can work too. My SCPH-5501 might complain about cheaper media, but using the same OPU in my DTL-H1001H those same discs work just fine.)
