Really dont miss all the steps necessary with this machine. Probably just me but could never get the discs mirror finished. Glad to see people making videos on how to get the best results.
What machine did you end up getting and how do you like it?
I have a store selling media and this machine has been helping me immensely! There is a learning curve however and many techniques not covered in it's manual to get the best results.
Definitely a learning curve. Mostly due to the instructions being so bad. If you follow the instructions you will ruin the disc like 40% of the time lol
I don't see those fine swirley scratches like you get with jfj supplies. Jfj should really consult for contact new supplies because all their stuff sucks! Ty for this!
You’re welcome! Their stuff used to be better but seems the quality has taken a drastic drop sadly. But i guess since they are basically the only resurfacing machine you can buy that isn’t really low end and isn’t $1500 they can get away with it.
Great video and perfect timing for me. Question if you dont mind; I re-did NBA Showtime this weekend and got it playing but it would freeze or hiccup during gameplay. I ran it again and now it hangs up on the loading screen, do I even bother trying again? Im using water during sanding, and stock JFJ pads and solution.
Also, I have an arcade disc of gran turismo 2 (disc 2) that actually doesn’t look that bad scratch wise, but will not even be recognized in my ps2 or ps3. I re-surfaced this weekend, the disc now looks almost flawless but same issue. Again, do I even bother trying again? And also as a re-seller, have you seen that before where a seemingly good condition disc just doesn’t work no matter what you try?
Thanks!
So it sounds like it both scenarios you have damage to the disc most likely from it getting too hot. If the disc gets too hot it will destroy that data layer on the disc and even though the disc itself may look pristine it will not read at all, or have issues getting past a certain point where the data is damaged.
If the disc is not reading or playing without issue and the back already looks great, then I would say to just write it off as the data itself being damaged, either during some point in its life before you resurfaced it, or during you resurfacing it. No point in keep running it through the machine at that point. Only exception is if the game is worth a lot of money. Then you can give it some more attempts to try and hopefully revive it.
@@GamingRenewedLLC well thats a bummer. Another question for you if I may. I also did a few ps2 discs, they seem to be more forgiving for sure but 2 of them now take longer to load through the opening credits than before, data damage again?
Hmmm i wouldn’t say data damage since it does actually load. The lasers on the PS2 can be picky at times, and when you resurface a disc you are peeling off some of the material to make it smooth again so the laser doesn’t get blurred out due to the scratches. After the resurface the laser might just be having trouble staying on track to read the data or it could be having to access other areas of the disc to get to the corrective data put on the dvd to help it play even if certain areas are damaged. Think of it as an emergency backup of extra data.
How much longer is it taking?
Do you know where to get the megui
res cut polish?
I just added the links to each for you in the description. The links are for the better versions of what i use now. Waiting for these to run out to go get the better ones. They have less sling and is made specifically for rotary and high speed applications. Like what is happening with the JFJ.
@@GamingRenewedLLC My Bauer pad just split in half oddly lol. I only got to use it 5 times.
That’s really odd lol. I could see maybe it started cutting into the pad but splitting in half I’ve never seen before.
