Fix scratched PSX game?

[TehLayDowN]

hi im new to the forum,

yesterday I wanted to play one of my old PSX games (Smackdown 2 Know Your Role!) and when i went into the match, about 1-2 minutes into it, the game went to like slow mo as if it was lagging, sometimes the lagg goes off but comes back again so you really cant play it.
I looked at the back, it had heaps of scratches...So what can I do to fix this up and plz dont say take it to the store and get it fixed like that...i wana know home options...pleaze help
Really aprreciate if someone could throw some ideas .....thx.

Try these: http://www.wikihow.com/Fix-a-Scratched-CD . Also, create a backup of it while you still can and play the backup.

Joe Forster/STA posts a very good guide. Because I buy most of my games second hand I tend to get a lot of scratched discs. Because I am a tight git I always see if I can repair things myself. I have used silicone wax floor polish on scratched CD/DVDs and rubbed it in with Jay cloth until there was no excess visible. Then I leave the discs for the night and the next day they play almost flawlessly. No method works 100% for all discs. It really depends on how bad the scratches are ;)
