Their is more, mainly releases by TMD, let me know how you get on

FOXHOUND Would like to ask you something, about some sort of romulus integration, but he has no way of contacting you. Would you like me to find a way you can get hold of him, I'm sure he has an email address or something.

Gamecube are cleanable, that's for sure. Making video that's difficult .

If I can I will try to do a video one day, my bushes have gone on my drill again, just ordered two more sets, won't be able to do any cleaning for a day or two.

The best polishing trick came the other day when I found out about the top layer in brasso, it really makes all the difference, it basically turns shoe polish into liquid shoe polish which I have looked for but you can't seem to get.

I got a Phantasy Star Online for £2 once badly scratched, got it working no problem, without any of my new tricks, also bought a job lot of disc only NGC discs, and all were badly scratched, got all them working too.

8cm discs are trickier, as the buffing pads are all 12cm, but if you hold it steady pressed in the middle of the buffing pad, it still works, just harder to hold the disc bang in the centre.

Just thought I would give you some more info, this is regarding making them look nearer to new.

Just using shoe polish and novus2 can get them working perfectly and looking almost like you can't tell they have ever been scratched or cleaned, and by the way this is the hardest part, getting rid of scratches is easy getting them to look like new, or never cleaned is really tricky.

Firstly each disc or different system tend to be discs that are not the same, totally differently manufactured, they have some things in common but other things differ, I have found discs made in japan will often look more like new after cleaning, probably they are better made.

The discs that come close to looking really nice are Nintendo Wii, European discs are made in Japan, they look nice, Dreamcast also come up looking like new, xbox360 come up really nice as well, less nice, but still working perfectly are ps2 dvd + cd, psx cd, xbox (old) and Saturn, these disc types tend to show the buff marks more.

But the good news is I found a new trick, that makes all the discs look better, and I can confirm Saturn Discs now look Amazing, good news for some .

Anyway the trick involves Shoe Polish and Brasso, yes back to brasso.

The thing with brasso, is if you leave your tin of brasso untouched for 2-3 weeks it will start to separate, and a brown liquid floats to the top, which is what I use now to help get the polish looking amazing.

So if you have some brasso, pour it into a clear bottle, leave it alone and wait for it to separate. Once the brown stuff floats to the top, syphon it off into a different bottle, I used a plastic tube, and sucked it into the tube, put my finger over the end and then it stays in the tube, then put the tube in the new bottle and take your finger off and blow, until you have collected a fair bit or all of it, the other stuff is crap, contains powder, and is what scratches the disc, and just generally is no use, probably its meant to help shine brass metal, not discs, as far as I know brasso is now considered useless by most, but the brown stuff is good stuff, and I don't know what it actually is or were else you could get it.

Brasso only contains maybe 20% of this good stuff, so you wont expect your brasso to separate 50/50 this is normal.

Anyway when you have the liquid, and your at the stage when you have all the scratches out, you get your shoe polish on your disc, I get a little chunk and go round and round the disc until it is covered, you then buff it away to make the disc look shiny, but the new trick now is you get a dab of your new brasso liquid and rub over the polish once you put it on the disc, the brown brasso liquid instantly dissolves the shoe polish leaving a much evener layer, then you buff it a bit instantly, you do this 4-5 times using the same cotton wool pad to thin out the shoe polish every time, and buff the layer.

The idea is it liquifies the shoe polish (like having liquid shoe polish, which you can't get I have looked) making a more even layer, and its better to buff the disc as it gets it shinier each time you do a layer, eventually you end up with it near mint then you do the same old with the novus2 and the disc will look brand new. I have only really tried a few Wii games, and a few Sturn games, but I can see it not working for all discs.

For me the old method was good enough, but I can now barely tell the Saturn disc I have done, have ever been buffed or scratched at all.

Phew

It would be nice if you could add an output directory so the isos can be on one drive and the output files end up on another drive, it would help speed up the converting, as reading from one drive and writing to another gives better speed than reading and writing to the same drive.

Thanks.

Had a re-think, what would be best is drag-n-drop, exactly as it is, nothing changed, but have an option that allows you to set an input and an output folder, for both dec and enc, were it processes all files in the input folder and outputs all files to the output folder, that way you could leave it processing hundreds of files without having to do each file separately, that would speed things up, and would mean you could leave it running while you got some sleep, or watched TV, etc... etc.

I have also submitted some in the past and they never appeared for some strange reason, when you click add disc, and then it says add another disc tossEAC maybe that last click sometimes glitches as you click it, and the submitted data then vanishes rather than appears were it should have gone.

Of course I very rarely sell anything.

My bad

I'm still curious as to why it was deleted or hidden.

Hope you find out soon.

Thanks will see about doing them soon.

Good news, I was looking for were the disks I was going to dump were, couldn't find them any were, but looked really hard in every nook and cranny, it turned out they were in my bedroom in the corner of the shelves I have on my wall, I have stuff stashed all over my house, but I found them after about 30 minutes of hunting, phew.

I think ebay and amazon both sell novus 12+3 I have never seen it here in our shops either, its sold as pinball polish, novus2 is the best and novus1 is a liquid so not great for buffing, for just cleaning a dirty fingerprint disc, novus 1 is ok, but I still prefer novus 2.
