While for the most part this kind of damage is fine (this game is playable), it’s questionable for how much longer. If you have the hardware or the capability, always remember to back up your physical games.
Took me a good 5 seconds of thinking this was a fantastic shitpost before I saw what OP meant, good post
One of my parks a rec discs had a scratch on the data layer (“hole”).
Sent a pic and info the Universal and they mailed us a replacement set.
Most studios have an email address for this kind of stuff. Hunt around.
This is a game from 2007, I doubt there are new/replacement discs. That said it appears to be functional so we’ll see.
Send the disc to activision and tell them you need a replacement for this damaged disc. Just to see how it plays out at least.
lol, now that sounds fun.
The worst that can happen is they don’t return the disk
Oh damn, I just checked and found a massive hole on every physical disc I own…
Had a tiny spot right besides the center on a PS3 Simpsons game disc. The PS3 wouldn’t even recognize the game.
You may have been unlucky to get the DRM corrupt.
A lot of my old cd collection looks like this now or worse lol
I know it may not be the most legal conversation, but how best can one back up physical games? It has been a long, long time since I last looked into it.
That’s perfectly legal. Sharing them isn’t.
Homebrew and backing up your legally owned software. They’re usually called dumping tools.
PS2/PS1 throw it into a DVD player Ron a PC and rip it.
PS3 you’d need to homebrew it. Same process to get the files ready to play on RCPS3
Disc rot is a serious problem for cds, is this just someone damaged the disc?
Can you backup DRM bullshit blueray?
BluRay is just a data format. PS3 games are just encrypted, which means with a modded PS3 you can back it up.
Same process in order to play it on RCPS3
