can anyone give me some feedback on disc repair services. i know a shop that puts your disc in a machine and it cleans it ( thats what they say) does it really work. they even have advertised it gets rid of scratches.

Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. A local video rental shop here has one of those disc buffing machines, and it's had mixed success fixing DVDs.
You can get bottles of disc repair fluid that you use to buff out the scratches. It's about $7 a bottle at my local rip-off shop. It also comes in single serving packets for a buck or so. I've had just as much success with the repair fluid as the buffing machine.

I don't know if they even sell them anymore, but stay away from the disc doctor/DVD doctor/CD doctor. It's this plastic jiggy that grinds a thin layer of plastic off of the disc to remove the scratches. It works (to the same extent that the other choices work) but it fucks the discs up at the same time, making them very hard for most drives to read.

I haven't been gaming for such a long time. Been mostly busy with sleep, hardware tinkering and checking GBAtemp frequently. -

It's going alright thanks+1
I know what you mean with gaming time. It's precious where I can get it these days. -

I think that's why I focus on just enjoying single player experiences that aren't too competitive

@Maximumbeans, Indeed. I've been working on getting this Infecutus chip to work on my PS2. But after soldering, I realised that a plastic piece was missing from the power ribbon cable to the power and eject buttons.

Now I could go with soldering the contacts from the cable to the connector on the mobo, but doesn't sound like a good permanent solution.

Man, that's beyond my brain I'm no good with hardware for now. I'd like to get into hardmods in future though

@Maximumbeans, Maybe start practice soldering. Get a cheap-ass soldering iron and follow some good YouTube tutorials.+1

Least my experience has gotten better than over a decade ago. My iron would constantly bump into components and break them.

Sounds good. I actually did soldering but like 16 years ago for school so uuuuh probably rusty haha

SylverReZ:
@Maximumbeans, Same here. I did soldering at school from a teacher who I honestly liked since he had plenty of good electronics experience.+1
