How to Repair GameCube Games

Many GameCube games are no longer in production. This makes taking care of the ones in your collection important. The GameCube reads disks using light reflected off the disk. When the disk is scratched deeply enough or has a lot of smaller scratches near each other, the light is not reflected back to the reader and the game crashes. Games can be fixed cheaply at home using household materials to fill in the scratches.

Things You'll Need

Lens wipes
Creamy toothpaste
Armor All Automotive Interior Cleaner
Pledge Furniture Wax
Cloth
Warm water
