Hi, there are three levels of Novus to choose from which do you recommend if you were to only get one? Thank you.

If there was a repro company that clearly printed "reproduction" on the label (replacing the Nintendo logo perhaps) and printed "reproduction" on the PCB, I'd be so into that.

Could you do a part 3? Where you clean some manuals and game arts that has tiny mildew spots on it in practice. I've been following your method of vinegar (50/50 mix) and a lot of sun, but some games, I can still feel and see a bit of spores in the paper. I'm new to this stuff, just started collecting ps3 games last month, and I'm shocked with the amount of dirt and mildew/warm spots present in half of the games that I buy online. Thanks for your fantastic work!

Tried the toothpaste method on a copy of Driver for PS1, that looked like someone took steel wool to it. Before it would spin up, try to read it a bunch, spin down, repeat that 4-10 times. Still does the same thing, so at least it didn’t make it any worse! 😂

My only question here is even after a few rounds of Novus2 polishing, and the disc working much better, are any instances of crashes just the gamecube disc reader being faulty?

hi, great video! wondered if you could help me? I have a PS2 game that has some signs of smoke damage on the inlay and i’m wondering how best to clean it? would be great if you can help out!
@RestoreAndReplay
@RestoreAndReplay 16 күн бұрын
Of course! I've got a video planned, but you pretty much stick the inlay in a plastic bag with some baking soda (enough to cover one side of the inlay) and let it sit overnight. Pull it out the next morning, brush it off and see if it still smells. You might have to let it sit a few days, but it'll get rid of most of that smoke smell!

What can I do if the inner ring has multiple small cracks and is even missing a some plastic from one side? I have a disc of Samurai Western that works perfectly but the inner ring is rough... I don't want it to break since I really like the game and it is too expensive for me to replace.

So this one is tough. There are ways to reenforce that center ring (and ways to replace it) but its not always the easiest. I've got a video series where I go over the steps, but even then it can be tricky. I'm trying to find better methods too!

Oh man oh man. This is so depressing. I have had everything from my childhood on in my parents closet upstairs in TX for the last 30 years! sigh. I didn't have room for all of it in my house and that is why they are there. They do not keep the AC on all the time because they are mostly downstairs. I am going to go get them. I live in a bigger house now with a basement in a dryer climate. I have a very bad feeling about this. I am probably going to lose a lot of stuff. Oh man. So bummed. :( My question is, how do I know that the uvc light is working?

I've been watching your videoes to help get a copy of Final Fantasy 9 back in working order using your methods. It worked near flawlessly, better than before, thanks to you! Now I'm trying to polish a Sonic Adventure 2 Dreamcast disc that's riddled with deep scratches and circle scratches. It's been machine polished twice, just to get past the title screen, and now it has problems loading parts of the game (levels and such) even crashed once. What is your advice on cleaning a Dreamcast that's troublesome to get working perfectly?

First step should be to measure the thickness of the disc, if it's been machine resurfaced, you might be missing too much material!

So just be careful with anything powered rotation like that. You can actually start to get a wave-shaped pattern on the disc itself. A guy sent me over a few discs he tried to clean with a bench sander (with a polishing wheel) and they all started to ripple!

Your frustrations are so funny because they are so justified. I used to work as a store manager for GameStop and I was always shocked to see the kind of condition people would trade their games into us. Sticker, writing all over cartridges. Discs that looked like they were used to skate on. Very frustrating. Thanks for the awesome video. It gives me confidence that I can do this as well with some older games that I find in bad condition.

Good question! So most Earthbound repros are using a ROM file that has audio issues. So you won't actually get the authentic game. But by that same logic, why buy a repro? Why not get a ROM cart or just emulate? Ya know?
