The nearest one is over a half hr away from me :( and at 5 bucks a disc I don't want to make that trip just to repair a single ps1 game. Maybe one day i'll go there game hunting but my game purchases are done for the month.

Also, I wouldn't mind having one of those disc repair machine things, but that Venmill is just a bit out of my budget lol the other mentioned is much cheaper but still a bit out of budget for now.

well i don't know how much it is to ship, but I can clean any disc (no PS3/Bluray) for free. so if there others that you want buffed and you will pay for shipping both ways, I have no problem cleaning them (with the Venmill 3500 for free)

Well, all I know is the bottom of my original disc looked like someone had burned it in a circular motion, all over the playable side. It was brown like a coffee stain, but the surface wasn't melted.

I work in a retail store that uses the Venmill 3500 to buff discs, and I've never seen anything like what you guys are describing with the Wii discs.

We also have a disc checker device that we put the discs in after we buff them to make sure they're good. Just runs a laser through all the data to see if there's any scratches or smudges or ANYTHING that could cause problems. That thing's super picky, and we don't charge customers if we can't get the disc to pass on it.

Bluray discs are another matter, though.

PM'd :)

Also, recently I tried to play the game on my ps2 resulting in a massive failure lol. The PS2 wouldn't even play the disc. It recognized the fact that it was a ps1 disc but when I would choose to run it the screen would turn black and go back to that loading screen. I read that component cables might lead to issues with ps1 games (seemed kinda odd but I had nothing to lose in switching out cables) so I tried the composite...but same issue.

In a way I'm starting to think that the disc might just have some damage on the foil side that could be causing these issues :\
