Go five cent listing day.

Was this only for ebay.ca? I didn't notice any such sale for the American site. Great item, btw.

It's broken, and worthless. Might as well buy a ferrari compacted
down into a cube.

I wouldn't say worthless. Even if the disc was missing the case is worth something.

Heh, I like the interview with the programmer.

I hope it sells. Maybe some more would surface (at high starting $$ I'm sure).

A way to test if the disc works or not (if you dont have a PSX that is) is to put it in your CD-ROM drive on your computer and try to make a ISO file out of it. If that works it means that the disc can be read

He said that he doesn't want to cause any further damage to it.

[jajaja]

I thought it would just be a way to possibly save the data, but its totally his own decision of course.

[Buyatari]

I dont see how that can damage it more, but he does what he wants of course.

Well you don't want a broken non-working disc to err um break do ya?

I agree there is no real risk. If it still works it still works if it doesn't well you are right where you started..and that may be the whole issue here. Either he knows it doesn't work or he doesn't want to know it doesn't work.

Thats what i thought first, if its already broken its not much to lose, but i did an edit I guess it is possible that if the disc got a crack and if it spins really fast it might be a small possibility that the disc cracks in half due to the friction. I would assume that the chance for that to happend is incredible small tho, but still.

You'd be surprised. I once put slightly cracked CD in my disc drive and the damn thing's crack got LARGER in less than two seconds. It also made a lot of noise, which is how I realized it was damaged. My drive wasn't damaged but it scared the hell out of me.

It may be possible to extract the data in the disc, but you won't do it with off the rack, modern disc drives.

Ye, i've seen a movie clip where it happend with a Xbox game. The whole game just broke into pieces hehe (if it was real tho). It also depends on how quick it spins. If you have like a 52x CD-ROM drive, the disc will spin alot faster than a 4x CD-ROM drive. I wonder if its possible to change the reading speed when you copy something from a CD. I know you set the burning speed, but what about reading speed?

Thanks for the comments.

It was eBay.ca only.

Yeah, my assumption is that the damn thing would explode as it reached high RPMS.

You can change the read speed on most drives, too. They can play stuff at 1x - standard CDDA (audio CD) speed. They can rip stuff at that speed too.

If Sph1nx wanted to rip the data on the disc, he'd have to do it on something that does it very, very slowly so the disc won't get even more damage. Even 1x speed could damage it... so it'd have to be a modified CD drive.

By the way, Sph1nx, good luck on that auction. I hope you get a good offer.
