Question Hi, my friend let me borrow the four final fantasy 9 games and i got to the second disc. A few hours threw the game it froze so i took it out and cleaned it with alchahol and a soft cleaning wipe like other sites said but now it won't work at all. When i put the game in it said game disc error. It barely even has any scratches left, i have games worst then that that work fine. What do i do to get it to work again?
Answer TO properly clean a disc that freezes, it is very helpful to buy a plastic polisher called Novus 2. Use that and clean in a straight line from the inside of the disc to the outside of the disc. If there are scratches that go around the disc, that is likely what is causing the freezing. If you don't have Novus, you can GENTLY use car wax....
