Huh. How do you know a game is at the point of no return? I’m seeing this most with my GameCube games and I’m not sure if it’s them or me being a stupid little kid because all my other consoles and games work good with maybe a outlier. Pic related is my copy of melee that gives the disc could not be read when starting a match

Gamecube's are more sensitive to scratched discs and are exhibiting some fairly widespread drive failure too. If you have a way to get it resurfaced it may work just fine.

Console war garbage but I’d like to convert it to a general on wear and tear of games. It happens with GameCube games the most for me personally but I have a PS2 and 360 game that shit the bed at specific parts

You can't know. You also have to account for the fact that the actual drives wear out too.

Rental stores usually own disc buffer machines. They probably ran your copy through one and brought it back to life.

To buy on you have to be a member of the secret society of the Ancient Order of the Disc Buffers and this is only open to direct decedents of of the architect of the first disc buffer Hiram Abuffer.

when you spend 2 hours trying to get it to work, then it finally boots, so you leave the console on for about 7-14 days to play your favorite game.

I don't have a PS1 memory card so I've been letting my PS2 run for a few days so I don't loss my progress until my memory card gets here. How bad of an idea is this? Should I just bite the bullet and turn it off?
