Physically damaged CD.

[Tuffie]

Hello ,  I'm new around the  forum , but I have been  using it on the sly heh.

Anyway, yeah  , I've been wondering if a damaged/scratched CD ( In this case it's the 4th and 2nd  CDs of FF8 that are somehow scratched - scanned with  programs to find out)  would make  the game  unfinishable , considering that the CD drive won't able to read it properly. But  according to some  informations ,  what most important is the  fact that the  CD is inserted in the driver. ( I'm pretty clueless about how it really works )

Extra informations : The  game works fine  so far , crashes don't occur  often.
Basically just afraid of not being able  to continue  the  game when I reach  the parts where the CD is  damaged.

So I don't know what to believe and I wish that someone would have the kindness to enlighten me. ^^
If there's a way to remedy to it , if my  fears are confirmed ,  that'd be much appreciated to  post it.

I'm not sure what you're trying to ask. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. We can't magically analyze your game disc and see if it'll make the game unplayable or anything.
Discs can get damaged in a whole bunch of different ways. Sometimes they still work, sometimes they don't. We can't help you here.

What I recommend is getting MagicISO, burning an image of the disc, and then mounting it via DaemonTools or burning it onto a healthy cd. If it copies successfully, then you're good. If it says it cannot finish copying the image because parts of the disc re unreadable, then you got to get yourself a new disc.

Hm it's fine now , I found  some saves that  pretty much cover the totality of the  game so if it doesn't  work at moments due to the CD  being unreadable , I'll just skip some parts but oh well. Better than nothing  =).
