    Was hunting through my old ps1 games, got this craving to suddenly play Final Fantasy VI (PS1 version). Unfortunitly theres a nasty scratch on the disc thats stopping me from getting past the intro scene...figure someone on boards could advice me on removing scratchs from PS1 discs.

    Does anyone know of a shop maybe in dublin that restores your old gaming discs?

    Any info is appreciated...thanx ^_^

    Xtravision or one of those shops has a service that will restore cd and dvd based media, no worries.
    I got one or two of my games done that way a while ago and they work fine now.

    Depends on a severity of the scratch too mind, but they should be able to do something.
    Steer clear of those crap kits you can get, most of them suck.

    Game on Dawson street or Smyth's off Parnell street both do resurfacing of damaged cds for whatever machine, i think it's 5 euro a disc but you get a discount if you repair a few at one time.

    That or ebay, will probably cost you less than restoring the cd.

    Depending on how badly it's scratched your pc might be able to read the disk. If this works you could always create an image for emulation.

    Buy another copy. It was one of the best selling games on the Playstation so the place is awash with copies selling for peanuts.

    get one of them disk cleaners in ebay/shops,you put some fluid on it *which i heard its just water*,turn the handle and it lifts a layer off the disk,but still makes it work *or something like that
