So as I've probably mentioned at some point, I have a bunch of damaged Gamecube games. How they got scratched I have no idea, but at some point a year or two ago it got bad enough that I finally noticed, as some games had stopped working.
I tried getting them resurfaced, but oddly enough, even though the scratches were removed, more often than not the discs still did not work.
Skies of Arcadia Legends and Capcom vs. SNK 2: EO were fixed, and perhaps another one or two that I can't remember at the moment (Wave Race Blue Storm maybe? I forget if that one was damaged...), but four others were not -- Fire Emblem: Path of Radiance (crashes when you try to start a level), SSBM (initially it only crashed most of the way through the single player game, but after resurfacing now it crashes at initial boot), Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door (crashes when you try to get to the main menu by hitting Start at the title screen), and Soul Calibur II (if you select certain characters the game crashes). None of the four discs have visible scratches, but they don't work anyway. It's very frustrating and odd, certainly...
But that's not why I made this thread. So, I tried the games on my Wii since I now have one. FE, SCII, and SSBM do the same thing they do on my Gamecube, but Paper Mario TTYD, oddly enough... works perfectly on the Wii, no problems. What the heck? Why would the thing crash like that when you try to go to the main menu 99 times out of 100 on the GC, but not at all on the Wii? That's nice, I can play the game again, but... it's so odd...
I tried the game several times in both systems right now, worked every time in the Wii, not at all in the GC.
