Circle scratched discs!
Fixable. Always. Don't you let anyone tell you otherwise.
In this episode of Restore & Replay we show you how to fix a circle-scratched PS1 disc, as well as get into some diagnostics of the disc in real time! This will kick off our "Circle Scratched" series, and hoooo boy we've got some good ones planned!!
Circle scratches like in this video always come from the console causing damage to the disc, and is usually preventable. When we get into PS2 and Xbox 360 discs we'll talk more about how these discs turn out this way. So stay tuned!
