Disc issue, epsxe and playstation disc expert please help...

Okay, where to start...

I got a copy of grand turismo 2 of a good mate of mine free, arcade disc works great , but simulation...well it freezes on certain points on the map...

-when I go to my garage
-and certain dealers-can't even buy my first car since all those dealers are "locked out"


Note that I did tick the options for grand turismo2, but they haven't fixed it...

I did find there was a scratch on the underside of it- it isn't all that big, but I did notice it...infact there are several, going AROUND the cd, perfect circle...

but some stand out more-it looked like a knife was in his playstation, going in and out...

It's hard to explain-if you guys want a photo please ask-other wise any sugestions on what to do-when in my laptop it recognises all the files inside-just that once epsxe starts running (versions 1.6 or 1.7, running defults in all except for graphics-pete's D3D driver 1.46.


If there is any specific options to tick please let me know so I don't have to buy JUST another arcade disc...or an iso since my download limit is used up

 

btw...I don't actually remember what those gt2 options were XD plz post them in as well for that plugin too plz

 

...anybody?

 

...any suggestion to fix, like a buff or maybe copy the damaged disc?

 

Download the working copy from here

Depending on how deep the scratch is, you may be able to buff it out. The information in a CD is not stored on the bottom surface, that's merely a protective layer, the info is actually underneath the label side.

When cleaning a CD, you're supposed to use a clean, fine cloth (like for eye glasses) and wipe from the inside of the disk straight out to the edge, never in circles.

But being a scratch, that probably won't help.

 

thanks, hope this works.
