How to Fix a PSP Game If the Disk Skips

Fingerprints, scratches and other debris can result in a PSP game disc skipping. When the game skips, it interrupts or halts gameplay. If the game disc is dirty or sticky, the problem can be fixed. Scratches are more of a challenge. Many homemade methods exist for trying to fix scratches. If you cannot fix the scratch at home, some video rental and game stores have machines that can attempt to fix the scratch for a fee.
