I was wondering if anyone here knows a good place to have gamecube games resurfaced. I have master quest for gamecube, but the game is all scratched up, it plays but occasionally freezes which is a pain to me cause i cant play the master quest. Also im a where of emulation n the rom but i want to play it one a console.
In the netherlands (belgium aswell) we have gamemania. I believe they do resurfacing. An second hand game me and my lil sister got there was resurfaced for free i believe (they call it cleaning, but explained that it will replace the surface.) normaly it will cost from 5 euro to up( depending on conditions, location, and amount of disks) dont want to sidethread to much, resurfacing is considerd an ok thing to do for collector pieces? I have some badly scratched disks that need a new layer. so, gamemania in nl,be i know.
They just grind away the first layer of the disc. This only works for surface scratches, not anything that's deep.
try Azuradisc mail in disc service they are in the US..................... http://azuradisc.com/azuradisc/index.html
You might want to mention what country you're in - this is an international forum! 15 Euros for a skim is a complete rip-off. It's £2-3 per disc here. Decent video game shops (some indies and often big chains) will have a proper skimming machine, as should DVD rental stores.
I just checked again and the website now has a price listed for repairs, basicly 5 euro for a damaged disk (thats still 2 to 3 euro's more than yours retro.
I wouldn't bother. GameCube games are harder to skim and it usually doesn't work. We tended to use scratched discs in the Wii - it was more forgiving, for some reason. *EDIT* To answer the question on doing it on a valuable disc, that's your choice. Do you want a disc that's original, but scratched, or do you want a disc that's playable, but obviously has been skimmed? You WILL be able to tell.
