And the one or two that are actually scratched too badly to read are games I played a LOT.
LETHAL ENFORCERS 2 SEGA CD BIN CUE PC
Oh, and as for the PC, I've had a PC with CD drive since '95, but the with only a few exceptions, most of the few PC CDs I have that used to work but don't now are discs that physically broke. I don't have any similar issues with any of the disc-based consoles I've gotten after that, either. I got a Playstation in January '06, before the Sega CD, but the only nonworking PS1 discs I have are games that I got that way, I don't have any that once worked but now don't. Anyway, I mention this because it's the only other thing I have with many nonworking discs. I was also at college during the GC generation, so I carried it around a lot. It's an nice one with actual things to clip discs into instead of just sleeves, but still, it still was harder on them than the cases I imagine.
Also I kept many GC discs in a holder case thing instead of their jewelcases for years. Yeah, those nonworking GC discs are weird, but there are only five of them, and all are among my most played games for the console it's not random stuff, it's games I played a lot of. I do have a bunch of dead Gamecube discs, but none have 'bit rot' - all are just not working even though there's no visible damage, or visible damage that I got professionally buffed out but the discs still don't work. I do know that there are some SCD games that worked better when I got them than they do now, and others that always did have issues.Īn argument against there being some kind of thing that happened, whether it's bad storage or what have you, is that no other console's discs, or my PC CD game collection, are similarly affected. because that did happen, but it could be both, I'm not sure. I wonder if this is because of something that happened, or if it's just that I got much better at checking games for damage before buying them. Interestingly, as the list below should show, almost all of the games I own with bit-rot problems are games I bought between '06 and '10 few games I got since 2011 are affected. I will call any points where I can see light through the disc "bit rot" here regardless of what it actually is, because that's a common term used for this kind of thing. The data on CDs is much closer to the label than the back of the disc, so scratches on the label side are actually worse than scratches on the back. There isn't really any way to tell the two apart, but it doesn't matter really which it is, the end results are the same: dead discs. If you can, that's either bit rot or bad label-side surface scratches. It's really bad, unlike anything for any other console I own.įirst though, by "bit rot" I mean when you look at a CD, looking at the back of the disc and pointing the label towards a light source, and look to see if you can see any light through the disc.
