Shut up and take my money, my 20th anniversary Kirby disc must live on.
The blockbuster by my house used to do this for 4 bucks when i was a kid... rip
if you have a multimedia store or independent game store near you chances are that you can get your games buffed there for a low price. My local multimedia store does it for $2 a disc
You can use toothpaste for free

That’s how my Wii sports got saved, apparently my disc only stopped working when I played tennis

@orie Very natural your reply...
My Mario kart Wii would crash when the credits rolled. Turns out there was something on the disc, took it off and it never crashed again.
@@HippoEatTortoise Mario kart Wii was my brother and I’s prime example on why our wii was dying, i don’t remember much but we ended up replacing it with a black wii (coincidently came with Mario kart Wii)
@@lucag.lisickza425 in americas it costs like $20 without case.
Video game stores should have those like vending machines so people can just go in, pay, repair their disc, and leave
@@majinish Same. I wouldn't mind doing this on the side either
In the uk, CEX used to offer it as a service. Pay £1 and get a single disc repaired.
There used to be a local video store in my home town that had one of these and they charged $3 per disc repair but unfortunately they went out of business a few years back
You just gave someone a hige money making idea.
Yes but that’s much cheaper than buying a whole new game and these companies want your money
I still remember the toothpaste on various discs after reading on the internet, it never worked.
Worked a few times for me
@@MidniteMeatBus It worked for me too only I used DVDs and not game discs
I use water and liquid hand soap. Actually works well
It always worked for me
Almost always
*me staring at the cracks of three games I got from a retro game store, that ain't coming out
A little spit shine ain't gonna cut it this time. What're the games that you got?
@@ghastlyanarchy1720 Harvest Moon: Save the Homeland, Rayman Arena, PacMan Fever, and Ratchet and Clank: Up your Arsenal. Bought Harvest Moon for someone else, but was actually hyped for Pacman and Rayman because they looked pretty cool! All for the PS2 btw
I got wii music (don’t ask) from a retro game store and it was cracked 🥰🥰🥰 bought it for a dollar at GameStop
@@PhantomWolfie Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal is criminally underrated. Glad you picked it up.
@@PhantomWolfie nice nice. Shout out to Ratchet and clank.
There’s a giant crack in my screen I forgot cause I got so used to it but I looked at the disc and I thought wow that’s a massive scratch 😅
dang i’m just scrolling through the whole channel and i just got to this somehow
Damn
This is like their newest video
@@micklucas1451 yea that’s why it’s weird lol i was al they way down to september 2020 or something like that

Screams "OH My GOODDD" at 1000000 decibels
Why does that Machine sound like the yippee meme
Blockbuster used to do this, went 3 times to save my mw2 back in the day. After the second time only multiplayer worked by the end estate would make the game freeze. But it did save it for the most part instead of a unread game at all. But a game like paper Mario tho you can’t fully test I know for fact u would will get unread disc at some point depending on the depth on the scratching as well. Some can’t be saved but then again I never ruined my discs it was my siblings an kids abusing them
I had a really bad plants vs zombies garden warfare disc that had a crack in the middle that almost made it to game data but they made everything work again maybe you can tell them to go light on a disc
You should've just installed the game. That's what I did with 360 games that didn't read well
@@devinmcdripand now you need to have thw game installed and the disc to play if you dont buy digital
One of these saved my copy of mw3 back in the day
That's a $1500 disk resurfacer I didn't know I needed 😳😳😍
More like $2000. In rands that would be about R38k, i can buy a car with that kind of money
that was the most satisfying thing at the end, how they all went in a row
Wow that might have been able to save my half life pc disk up until my art set case landed on it and blew it to pieces. Perhaps its not too late I'll go get the glue
Hate to break it to you. If the disc is completely blown to pieces, the disc resurfacers won't be able to fix it. But if it is badly scratched then it is able to be fixed
I had a disc rewinder once. Woked like a charm!
I might need this. I got a lot of old wii discs that barely work…
@@thenightcompanion3339 I remember block buster having one of these, and a local dvd shop would also resurface your disk 5$ a piece back around 2008 I believe?
HOW EXPENSIVE?!?!?!?!
PLEASE, I NEED THIS!
about 1000 to 2000 dollars
You know what I do with my old Dreamcast games that are scratched up, I throw them in the trash and then I hop in my Time Machine and go back to 1999 I just buy a new copy
Can i borrow time machine?
I thought I was the only one, safe travels my time hopping brutha
I wish I knew this 7 year's ago
Where was this when I needed it?
Bro I need this for my dvd movies
Is it possible we could send in old disc that won’t read to you guys to get them fixed?
Agreeed!!!! I will pay!!!!!
Buy a car scratch remover, you can literally remove it yourself and with this method you will damage your disc less (remove less layers on your disc).
@@FaLLeN3421 take your game to literally ANY game store. They all have resurfacers. less than 5 bucks to get a disc done
Yes you can send in your disc and we will resurface it for you. Find all the details you need here: www.dkoldies.com/repair-center/
@@DKOldies can we send Dvd's and Cd's too or just games?
I definitely need These
These old games are gonna keep being available and saving them from the trash is amazing
I need to do that on my demo wii sports
Where can I get that. I was just about to buy bo2 from y’all
Just buy it digitally or used. They’re very overpriced
@@thedoctorplaysmc2321 what is it called
@@thedoctorplaysmc2321 shut up bro it’s his money if you can’t buy it whatever he wants to buy it so stop whining
@@thedoctorplaysmc2321 on their website bo2 is only like $25
@@mrpotatohead3618 yea thats about how much it is on steam
He got the top loading washing machines for gamers
My mans put them in a washing machine
I could use this for a lot of my PS2 games.
Did you know that these disc resurfacers can turn a, let's say, $30 game into a $100 game? I didn't know that. OMG...
If it works most of the times the good rare games never work if they too scratch
I'd be super pissed if I paid high dollar for a game only to come to find out it has been resurfaced. It happened to me on Ebay with Castlevania SOTN years ago, and sent that shit back right away.
@@TheOne0816 PS1 or Saturn version of SOTN?
@@darkhedgehog23 PS1. Honestly didn't know there was a Saturn version. Feels like it's more valuable right away just because it's the Saturn.
@@TheOne0816 the Saturn version was released only in Japan. It has some new areas and you can also play as Maria in it.
I love it. Didn’t knew these exist
Thanks for preserving these for the future.
Can we get a link of where to buy one of those?
It costs around 1500 dollars... Just a heads up.
That’s an ELM Eco Pro. There are cheaper options out there like the JFJ Easy Pro. Alternatively, the Disc Go Devil is great too and they’ve gone down in price.
Pretty beauty thing, wonderful God creation, tell me, where have you been all my life?
Where has this been in my life
I love to think that the place he records at is just a retro game factory with a bunch of machines maintaining the games
Where was this at when I was 9 could’ve saved me hella games
Vhs repair stores
I need one of them!!! 😍😍😍😍
My SOCOM collection need this
YOU GUYS MADE THE DISC LOOK BRAND NEW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’m getting one of those some day.
They over 1.5k my friend, good luck!
@@Kirbybros1 wtf 💀
@@koro000 the good resurfacers are like £6-7k
@@Kirbybros1 I know, that won’t stop me, and it’s worth it.
@@RealHyperHedgehog oh Definitely! If you have a huge collection that is
Damn I need that that.
industrial resurfacers are expensive, but most video game stores have them. They'll charge you 5 bucks tops to resurface
@@danieleverson4155 Or you can buy a scratch remover like Novus 2 online for 10$ and do it yourself and yes is 10$ not 5$ but you can use that liquid multiple times so it adds up, I saved so far 4 of my games that way.
@@strohhuttv8848 the scratch remover doesn't go as deep with the cleaning, but is a totally viable option as well.
@@danieleverson4155 Yes, that is true. However is a cheap option you can do at home and although it will not remove all sratches it will most of them. There is also the toothpaste trick although this is the least effective one and more a fun, fun fact you can try but it will most likely not help.
Alright thanks.
It's almost like sci-fi prop but it's real.
They make a happy tune
Bro I have so many halo reach games that don’t read anymore for the 360 😂
Just be careful it only works a couple times a disc after so many it takes too many layers off and won’t read at all
Damn, I can’t wait to use these 20 years ago.
Just found out you guys are located in Lancaster!!! I’ll definitely be stopping by!
I remember going to this store to fix my scratched games
I just found out there is a technology like this.🤯
I remember I used to go to Hastings and blockbuster for them to do this to my games... Good times
damn I remember blockbuster video had this service I was always taking in my games as a kid
I need this for my copy of melee
My local Family Video had one of these, and it was basically the only reason I went there. I would bring the disc in every time after I bought a used game
I had a manual one of these when I was younger but the effects left sometbing to be desired. Coulda needed this on all by old PS2 games and DVDs
You scratched my CD you know in PURE Daylight and you scratched it scraaaaaaatched
This is super useful, I bought 2 Oblivion games but 2 of them are scratched. This is a lifesaver
I’ll believe it when I see it fix those pesky black PS1 games
Okay, I NEED this
You are a good man, thank you.
This feels like I’m watching a commercial
How I need to know!!! I want to fix my Cars for the GameCube!!!🤣🤣
I need those resurfacers for my scratched cds
love the work!
ngl those looks like a washing machine, im done with our laundry
I got a disc repairer off Amazon last year for £40 and it's amazing.
Doesn't fully remove the deeper scratches but out of about 80 only 1 disc won't play, it's recognised by console but as soon as level starts it freezes, which is more than it did to begin with.
bruh IDK why I thought those were GameCubes at first 😂
Lol
you are crazy good People doin gods work! you give me energy to live on :D especially the main guy xD hes totally me
I'm blessed to be old enough to remember the tooth paste trick. No bs, that would work sometimes.
I need to fix halo 2 now.
I need that for 98% of my ps2 games
Right before COVID hit, there was this little mom and pop game shop called Double Jump Video Games in my hometown of Vancouver, that is where I cleaned up my old Cars 2 DVD, and the guy said, "do you have a DVD player?", the other guy said, "PS2", so he played it into the PlayStation 2 and it worked.
I remember they had these at my local family video, they were life savers
"A good ol' wipe of wet wipes and it will shine like brand new!"
Younger Me,2015-
“I got a cousin that can buff that right out!”
I have a small shelf full of games I should consider sending you for this treatment. They all work fine, but they definitely show their age on the bottom!
EB Games need theses
GameStop needs these
My Lego Star Wars for the wii had the most scratches I’ve ever seen it looked like somebody put sandpaper on it but it somehow still is working
Bro has hella game cubes on deck
"And a hundred dollars for that sir"
I asked for this vid a while ago just cause I wanted to see how you get the scratches out
And it's nice to know there's GameCube cleaners that will remove the scratches and you guys aren' using toothpaste
Super Paper Mario! My 2nd favorite game.
I might need you guys for my DVDs
My bo2 disc SHALL RETURN FROM THE DEAD
This will sound crazy but I have used this on many a game. Rinse off and dry the disk with a soft towel, spread peanut butter on the disk, gently rub off all the peanut butter with something akin to toilet paper. One last gentle rinse and ever so gently dry. Some how the oils in the peanut butter help the consoles read the disks. I have done this on 2 copies of oblivion and Modern Warfare 2 and aoke PS2 games. (Please don't put peanut butter into your console, get it all off the disk)
I had no idea these existed. Maybe there’s hope for the stash of old games and dvds in my basement
Time to get one if these myself.
Forbidden Gamecube
No robot voice, bring back joey
laundry machine for CD
Damn those are nice.
Joey thank you for fixing my copy of super paper Mario I just love that game it’s some good childhood memories maybe I’ll forgive you for destroying my game cube besides I only play my Nintendo Wii
I wish I had this when I was younger😂
I used to go to my local block buster to do that
Bro that’s so sick!
Now I’ve had disks that are brand new or have one scratch and won’t read. Then I pull out a disk I’ve used a millions times with all the scratches and it reads just fine.
I'm still gonna wait for Mike wisniewski
Im am so happy to see that some people care about these games and tbh blew my mind cause i could of used those back in the day 😩😂😂
Where the hell was this back in the day!?!
Holy shit this is incredible
