New Ps1 discovery and a cdr problem

Do you know if AutoZone carries this?

 

Er?
I've been using one of these for a few years to fix my broken discs and it's never failed to make one work, even really awful condition ones. A good example is Sonic CD PC, which I droppedin our driveway on my way out of the car, and it seriously got run over. It was a wreck. It wouldn't even boot on the computer, but I used a Doctor on it and it fixed what it could, meaning it installed and played up to Collision Chaos (couldn't fix it anymore then that, the top foil was scraped off...) And my Xenogears, which wouldn't load half the time. Then again, maybe I just got lucky, I do have one of the original models of them and I don't know if they've gotten cheaper or anything. It does make the disc ugly though... Of course, the other method works too. =]

 

They ought to. But only ask for that specific brands, nothing cheaper.

 

kingofthelobster, that stuff sounds very good. It must be like the stuff game shops over here use which probably explains why used games always look new. Many a time I've had to wait white the store "polishes" a used game I'm buying. I don't mind though since the disc looks minty. I may buy some of this stuff for home though. I wonder if I can use it on phone screens or PSP screens?

Yep, the stuff works great on just about any kind of clear plastic I've come across. I've used it to polish up the screens on a couple old phones I sold on eBay and it did a nice job of taking scratches out of the monitor plexiglass on my Arkanoid machine. It probably differs from the polishes the game shops around you use in the fact that it's a two step system. The first bottle you apply is a brown colored, light abrasive polish, which takes the scratches out. Then you polish it with the other bottle, which is more of a wax type polish, that takes the surface and makes it real nice and shiny.

Unfortunately the closest AutoZone to me is about 35-40 minutes away so I couldn't tell you. All the NAPA Auto Part stores around me carry the full Meguiar's line up, so if AutoZone doesn't carry it, I'd check with them.

 

The local used game store here uses a much more expensive version of the "Game Doctor" device. I'm pretty sure it does the same thing (rip off a few layers of the CD), but it doesn't leave those horrific marks on the disc.

I will definitely have to check out this polish you're mentioning, kingofthelobster. I have a few PC CD's that have been run through my Game Doctor and ended up looking very ugly. Most of them work, with the exception of my Daggerfall CD () and my King's Quest Collection CD. I'm going to kill my brother for the latter, these Collection series are worth a fucking mint now, at least in comparison to what I paid for it.

 

I paid $500 for 500 protos. So far its alot of PC junk and released games which no one would really care for except maybe the Breath of Fires. I was very disapointed with the batch even though there is still much that needs to be checked. You might as well say I paid $600 for the Moons and was given $100 to take out the trash.

 

Based on that, would you take $500 for moons and you could keep the junk? Or would you want $600 for moons and all the junk?

 

I rarely sell anything and when I do its never to break even. Trades are prefered.
