I recently got a DD, as well as Mario Artist: Paint Studio and Sim City. Until now, both disks worked. However, Mario has suddenly stopped reading, I get error 23 every time. Sim City still works. There looks to be a handful of very tiny marks on the disk, like fluff, and a faint ring that follows some of the disk's circumference. On the advice of the seller I gently cleaned the disk with a cotton bud and isopropyl, but still no luck, so they recommended I reach out here. Any help would be mega appreciated!

Error 23 means unrecovered read, as in, it could read, but it couldn't read it correctly, so that seems like the disk might be dead out of nowhere, unfortunately? I can't really provide much more help on that front, sorry.
