why aren't game disks affected by scratches?

[Kosheh]

- Nintendo disc games read backwards (reads from the middle and scans outward) and are relevant to that gen.

I think I once got a fingerprint or something on a Super Mario Galaxy 2 disc and it would refuse to boot up until I wiped the print off, so either that thing forward-read or was just really confused.

Actually, I was super sleepy that night. If they read backwards, it'd start from the outside and work its way in.

whoops. Discs normally read from the middle and work their way outward.




that's what I get for posting sleepy about nintendas!
(so, yeah, it'd totally make sense if it refused to boot btw)

That's why I back up all my games and just use discs for collection purposes.

"i back up my games and let the discs collect dust because i get fingerprints everywhere"


shoving the disc in the disc reader is so much fun though
