- Can we fix this badly scratched copy of Donkey Kong Country Returns for Nintendo Wii? I will try repairing the game using the JFJ Easy Pro. Let's see the final results.

Good video, although you should not use microfiber cloth it’s polyester and scratches plastic! You should always use cotton cloth to clean plastic. Paper and microfiber towels will scratch!
This is by far the best video using the JFJ on youtube, thank you!
No it isn't......There are 20 things he is doing wrong.....lol
That music tho!
Jason who cares tho?
Jason I don't care what you are! lol that's the beauty stranger!
JuanMatrix10 Whats the music called?

FillTrigger X2 it’s the water them song from donkey Kong country
Investing on one just to buy broken games that’s complete to fix them as a
Collector of 13 years it’s becoming money hard thanks for this!
I haven't got one of these machines but I used to turn pens from acrylic and polyester resins. Water is definitely needed and after the initial sanding you need to clean the very fine grit that is left on the disc before moving onto polishing. If not, your polishing the grit from the sanding back onto the disc. It might be very very small particles of polycarbonate from big scratches but they really do need cleaning from the disc before polishing.
Was gonna comment that!
A friend and I got this one, highly recommend cleaning the discs between each pad, for instance if youre on a Coarse 600 grit pad, clean the disc before using the Soft 2000 grit pad, then the white buffing pad, and yellow polishing pad.
Basically clean in between each pad so you don't get coarser residue on milder pads, that way you avoid potential burrs getting worked into the discs.
Meant to say, the water helps to also throw the particles of grit out from the disc. I'd still clean it before polishing though.
0:21 Damn! Some of the GameStop employees do scratch disc
Nice. Will definitely be investing in one. Thanks for the vid
The musics nice and the jfj easy pro is like a laundry machine for discs one like from me
TheRandomGamePlayer 5693 more like an iron
Hi, congratulations 👏🏻👏🏻 It’s really brillant… Is the repair works on the front of disc? Could we try with like this?
how do i fic my donkey kong game country returns game (the problem with the cd is taht the saved files gets corrupted and i dont know how to fix it cuz everything is written on japanese and plus kanjis that i dont read
The higher the number the more abrasive the polish is how it works with car polish I guess this is the same? I'm about to pull the trigger on one of these. Looks looks a good product. Thanks for the demo.
I just got my JFJ Easy Pro. I've only tried it on one PS2 disc so far that was in pretty bad shape. However, it still played oddly enough, but I just wanted to see if I could get the scratches out of it. I'm doing exactly what you're doing here, minus the sanding step. I noticed after the first run through, even though most of the significant scratches were gone, the disc then had tons of really faint swirl marks on it. So, I tried to playing it again, and it started up, but was skipping on the start screen which it didn't do before I ran it through the machine. So, I tried buffing and polishing it one more time, and tried playing it again, and it was even worse that before. I don't understand what I'm doing wrong. Any ideas how to avoid the swirl marks?
Yes is a great machine, just gone and bought one myself. went into a charity shop/goodwill UK lol, and found new super Mario bros got it for 75p/ 75c , in poor condition! got the jfj onto it, now as a mirror finish and plays no problem great machine, good vid.
soundsys33 Thank you. Great find. I want to find some more scratched games lol.
I've one now but I can't make it look like new...I always see fine lines of the polishing process. Any ideas?!
@@SuperBrianGames1 if you try ps2 disc games like Sonic Mega collection plus and Sonic Unleashed would they work and spin also run faster 100% like its new and try the same with my wii disc game Sonic Riders zero gravity it's got on toothpaste in the middle so it can get to the part where I wanna beat the final boss. And the credits.
@Hazzardcountyfan get on Amazon and get yourself a bench presser to clean your disc game so the scratches will go away forever.
@@izehumaheyiba2182 bench presser for a driller? The results I have are good...but not mint! You see the small scratches...in my case looks like my sponge is hard
Ahh, I love Aquatic Ambience. Probably one of the best 16 bit songs ever made.
Dude,thumbs up for the music alone ;)
I have had the easy pro for a few days now and I just wanted to let everyone know. That it is the real deal it does work. I just have a few things to see. Water is your friend. I was getting tons of swirls the first few desks until I saw a video describing that water is not the enemy. It does help you get a mirror Finish.
I just purchased mine on Amazon. So can't wait till it comes🥰
Jan 2021 and im looking to clean some wii discs that are scratched.
0:53 I had that issue with Madden NFL 2007 on my Wii in May 2022, this disk cleaning machine will be perfect for me as a Madden NFL collector
How does your Mario Kart Channel still show the tournament and ghosts thing even though nintendo wfc is discontinued? Do you have homebrew.
KingaX5 King I believe it’s because the Wii hasn’t been updated. I bought the Wii used and it had all those channels.
Awesome video man
that Resident evil/ final fantasy type music though
the song is from Donkey Kong Country, called Aquatic Ambience
thats the music from the original dkc game
Did you check the data layer? If that is damaged, you cannot get it to work.
that's awesome! I want one for my Mario party 8 which gets a disc read error during game play...
Jason Kelly OMG SAME SITUATION FOR THE SAME GAME
Jason Kelly just go to gamestop. It will cost you $1-$5.
Happens to Mario Party 6 even if the scratch isn't that bad it even glitches
I need that machine for my scratched up copy of Madden 07 for the 360. Then I need a 360. I was just using the disc as a wall ornament since the person I got it from was just gonna toss it.
I agree I need that machine to Clean Up My Sonic Mega Collection Plus PS2 scratch so it can run faster and same with my Sonic Unleashed ps2 disc every time I complete a day stage boss and the cutscence freezes on purpose.
@@izehumaheyiba5222 I have a few discs that could use the JFJ easy pro treatment.
@coondogtheman I have some wii discs that definitely need it. I have one that is so scratched that you can't even play the game almost like the Donkey Kong game in the video. It has so many scratches on it. It will probably take at least 2 polishes in the JFJ Pro to fix it.
Good job. Will you be repairing any GameCube games?
I fixed a smash bros one.
Your scratched game looks way worse than mine and you were able to fix it with the easy pro while I can't afford one but it is cool to see it work again after it got resurfaced. I miss playing Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 3 and 2.
Are you still happy with it? I'm thinking of picking one up as I have a lot of valuable games needing repair.
Yes
I have one and I love mine.
should get a machine like that. it's a good investment for selling old games and repair retro games that are damaged. should look into that.
Hm I thought buffing was supposed to remove all tiny scratches and leave the disc almost mint
There are still tiny scratches but the games work after I buff them.
I want that cleaner so I can fix Sonic colors
just suppost to test the game, six hours later :)
Pretty sure some game shops have those things. I might just bring my copy of Animal Crossing to one and see cuz I cant afford a whole ass machine to fix one disc.
Thank you so much for this information !!
Hello, so there is a way to not create those swirls?
I'm gonna buy JFJ Easy Pro until 2 Weeks
Hi hoping you would be able to help me after finishing a disc I can remove the scratches but it is leaving lines on the ring just next to where it buffs and these lines happen after using the sandpaper and the don’t play because of the lines the rest of the disc is fine though, any help highly appreciated as It’s really starting to annoy me and I can’t fix any discs
I read a comment that said to cut a small size disc piece of 2mm packing foam to use under the plastic nut. Basically a thin foam washer, and it stops those scratches. Also spray a little water on the pads before you buff.
That background music tho amphibious something
I gotta get me one of those
now is full of small mini scratches
Sold
GUYS PLEASE HELP ME. I want to buy such machine to repair my old ps1 cds, but i'm from Bulgaria and i don't know where can i find these machines
Have you tried Amazon or EBay?
Black Magic! HELLYeah ...... Oh YeAh!
what was the spray you used?
Hi there. My machine is not polishing the outside ring of discs so is leaving big circles around disc, and unevenly wearing down my pads.
Any ideas?.
Let me look at mine today and I'll see if I can't figure out what would cause that.
I live in Sweden and I really like to buy one but i can’t even find one in the UK!
Have your tried EBay?
Super Brian Games no but I’m thinking about getting it from amazon. They look more legit
@@SuperBrianGames1 I got a Wii Party from there for 15 pounds (yes, 15 pounds, more if dollars) and it didn't work! Same happened with my Wii Sports Resort where it instantly just shoved me into the 'An error has occurred. Please refer to the Wii Operations Manual for info.' screen.
So how effective would polishing a disc by hand be?
For Recreational Use Only it depends on how bad the disc is. I’ve tried to polish games by hand and most of the time they don’t work. Sometimes you can get it to work if it’s light scratches.
No good I tried it with a cloth for polishing took out some but made light scratches good for one play then it doesn’t left more tiny tiny scratches
thats the best machine out their for repairs
I got 5000$ machine lol
any tricks for ps2 or something?
I need this machine
Very appropriate music lol
The first time I popped in this Donkey Kong disc it asked me if I wanted to update/upgrade the Wii console software,,
so I/he did,,
after this (semi auto) update I couldn't play any of my burned Wii games... :-(
So I guess I have to downgrade my Wii ,, is there a easy way to downgrade my Wii again?
Or another way?... :-(
Multiwizard Not sure if you can downgrade.
@@SuperBrianGames1 I know (found out) it's possible but a complicated process to do... :-(
Does anyone know if it works on the Wii U disc? I also wonder if it works on the unreadable disc? Please let me know. Thank you
It should work with Wii U
no saving my smash copy played it so much it burned thru the disc.
damn
@@teh_supar_hackr same thing happened to my WWE Day of Reckoning 1 & 2 for GameCube.
My Punch Out had a crack after beating Don Flamenco on Title Defense it said disc cannot be read and I put it back in then I get an error has occured
Hey you could fix discs as a business!
How much money is
so do you need a special set of pads to resurface & clean Gamecube disks?. Or no?.
Yes.
@@SuperBrianGames1 ty
Would it be better to do a wet sand with it?
No. I have a JFJ machine myself. I have repaired many, many discs. The way it was done in the video was the right way. It is an AMAZING machine and the only way to resurface game discs right.
@@christianna3561 after polishing the games if you look at them in light do you see fine scratches from polishing?! Best regards
@@christianna3561 10 months later lol. I want to know as well
Expensive to get in australia :-(
What’s the difference between JFJ Pro 110v and 220v?
It’s referring to the voltage. In the USA you will typically use 110-120v for it. Some other countries use 220v
Super Brian Games tanks for the fast comments, I live in Sweden so I should probably get a 220V right?
Does it leave swirl marks like people online have said?
Yes
I like the other machine this one you can tell it's buff
Microfiber cloth are bad for DVD/CD, use cotton.
Great video! Just one question does it leave swirls? Thx
Yes it will leave a lot of small ones.
my brawl copy runs but some bits of sub space dont play
I had a copy of brawl that didn't work at all.
Super Brian Games rip
My Brawl has a small vertical scratch and works fine for me
will this machine remove the scratches and let the burned/ copy ps 1 & 2 games work?
Super Mario bros 3 hell yeah man
The soundtrack sounds like donkey kongs aqua level.
That's because it is
7:39 My mom when i get low grades:
HEY FUN FACT - TOOTHPASTE RUBBED ON THE DISC WILL WORK THE SAME AS USING SANDPAPER IF YOU HAVE NO MORE. Just use polish after the toothpaste is applied. Results are great
For light superficial scratches, what would be the best routine?
Maybe just the polish without any sanding.
Had a look on Amazon, it seems the Hama hand powered set seems more ideal for my needs.
@@SuperBrianGames1 yeah currently, I currently use all purpose polish house polish and a couple of microfibre cloths. I've had to experiment a bit to find the best set up, I find soaking the disc in polish for five minutes then rub with the first cloth then buffer with the second. This isn't a cure all, but it gradually improves with each clean. I'm thinking the hama set might be simpler. The jfj doesn't seem available in my region, brand new anyway, then there's the pro care machine.
Does it work for GameCube games?
Miguel Lozano Yes, but you have to buy an adapter for it and it uses up the pads faster then a normal size disc.
why is your wii in 4:3
Benjamin Hilario it’s just a wii I use for testing. My main wii is on my other Tv.
How expensive are these machines?
Around $150-$200.
Hi! Are you still using the same machine?
I haven't had to use it because I've been mostly buying digital or new games lately.
@@SuperBrianGames1 yeah makes since. I’m feeling old school cause I just turned 56 and still DJ so….. I’m mixing everything so…
Does it work with gamecube games?
gianfranco rojas You need an adapter for it, but it wears out the pads really quick. I wouldn’t recommend it for gamecube.
Music cds are so sensitive holy shit
i could do that.
Spray it first.
What about for Xbox360 or ps3?
Illusional Dex I haven’t tried one myself but I don’t see why it wouldn’t work. I’ll make a video if I ever get a disc that doesn’t work. I got a PS2 game to work too.
Super Brian Games ok thx for the reply!
One of the worst disc machine repair i bought one and I was able only to repair less than 50 cds because it breaks easily from the upper part it supposed to have a warranty of five years but I called several times and the first time a authorized customer service answered when I left my message they didn’t returned my call I called again several times more they never answered I tried to leave a comment on eBay but they never make my comment public because it will affect the seller for that reason I closed my account with eBay because they protect the seller even if they know that they’re selling defective products
I am sorry. I had my machine for years with no problems. I bought my machine from Amazon. I suggest you try and contact jfjdiscrepair.com directly. The seam to stand by their products.
I contacted jfj directly and like a stated on my comment they only answered my called on a automated answering service I left a message and nobody returned my called I contacted eBay because I bought it in that application they refused to intervene and didn’t allow me to leave a comment on their platform I have close to 5000 cds and mp3 before I closed my account I saw jfj on sale just for parts with the same problems that I had I think it’s ridiculous that they allow companies to sell defective products and not make them liable for what they’re selling I have seen the same jfj on amazon but I will be very dumb on my part to buy the same product because they haven’t fix the problem on the newer jfjs
Dont try this with bluray since it will ruin the coating on it
Karis AsaNi wym?
Well if it's already scratched that badly that you would need this, the coating is the lesser problem to worry about.
That makes no difference.
It literally says blu Ray friendly on the front of the machine
Pretty good? It looks worse lol
JUST ME LOL Thank you for your comment. It helps with the TH-cam algorithm.
@@SuperBrianGames1 😂😂😂
Super😰☺
Before you spray any chemicals on such items...you should wear latex gloves first. Why don't you just buy it again new.
