With the way they acted, redump.org data was stolen, plain and simple.<br />Also, I never agreed to have my account and dump data on redump.info.<br /></p><blockquote><div class="incqbox"><h4>Rocknroms wrote:</h4><p><br />They think that all this mess is right cause they have support by kids from reddit and discord<br /></p></div></blockquote><p>Exactly.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I am gonna just say this to you now:<br />Imagine hating the move to redump.scum and wanting to stay on the now obsolete org version? redump.scum is 100% real and not fake, We all already moved to here but you! Not to mention you even think the staff team of the scum version are data stealers and they will go to jail! when it is 100% not going to happen! So you should shut up iRobot!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Whether the move to the new site is right or wrong I won't comment on, I don't know about it. There's something to be said for both sides I guess, especially copying the user data sounds... gray though. Like rocknroms said above as well.<br /><br />What I do know however, is that I feel like you can't blame this entirely upon the people who made the move and 'upper management' is also to blame. For years, there have been complaints about the state Redump is in. Things that bother mods and users alike. Stuff like missing https, mysterious outages, registration not working with many email providers, broken PS5 triple layer support, certain character combinations resulting in malformed titles, a general outdated functionality, no api, a lack of clear communication, adding new fields to the database, new regions and the list goes on and on. And together with that, a reluctancy to open the project up to other people. So many people have wanted to help over the years, but nobody got the chance. From what I understand (but please correct me if I'm wrong), barely anybody (active) got access to the code, the hosting, the data or anything. And everyone had so so so much patience. But at some point, the frustrations get to a boiling point and stuff like this happens.<br /><br />Do I like that the project is sort of split in two now? Certainly not. I wish this wouldn't have happened. But you keep talking about <em>what </em>they did, but please have a thought about <em>why </em>they did it.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I hope someone remember me... I register here quite the same days iR0b0ts did, I posted a lot of dumps data until 15 years ago then I stopped cause I had not so much time, I was moderator here too and I hink I gave my contribution to the project with many posts and discussions...<br /><br />What happened is really sad and those people, the traitors, are really stupid and immature... it feels like they have something personal with you (iR0b0t) and other admnins... or some stupid issues (slow website, https, no new language and regions, etc -&nbsp; these are the issue they blame about) have become personal.<br />If they didn't agree with Redump admins they had the rights to go away and found a new project, using also publicly accessible data from Redump.org, but only hash and notes. Indeed:<br /><br />1) they stole the name of the project;<br /><br />2) they stole whole database also with users data (I found myself registered on their new website without my permission, and this happened to all users here);<br /><br />3) they vandalized forums and wiki;<br /><br />4) after doing this they posted here asking for personal data deletion without even knowing the laws or what can be deleted;<br /><br />5) it looks like they prefer quantity over quality of dumps;<br /><br />6) they want new system dats public, without understanding the risk;<br /><br />7) they want even public links to upload / downdolad / share dumps;<br /><br />...and so on...<br /><br />They think that all this mess is right cause they have support by kids from reddit and discord, but the best result they could effort is the death of Redump project, unles someone stops them with ISP DMCA actions before of a lawsuit.<br /><br />I repeat, they have all the rights to create a new projet, but they decided to act the worst way they could...<br />Look at how No-intro acted with Cowering's good-tools for example: the complains were the same, but they just founded a new project using good-tools hash data as a base and nothing else... maybe they were diffent times when people acted more loyally...<br /><br />I hope everything will be fixed here and the traitors will blow away as it should be!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Some more notes when doing verifications: <br /><br />* Put the system of the disc in brackets before the name in the title. Ie &quot;[Xbox] Halo 2&quot; or &quot;[GC] Eternal Darkness&quot;.<br /><br />* If you are verifying a multi disc release mention the number of discs in the title. Ie &quot;[PC] Baldur's gate (5CD)&quot;<br />(Example) <a href="http://forum.redump.org/topic/70217/addedpc-baldurs-gate-5cd/">http://forum.redump.org/topic/70217/add &hellip; -gate-5cd/</a><br /><br />* Don't copy info from an existing entry unless you know said info matches yours. If the existing entry say, has &quot;English&quot;, &quot;Spanish&quot; and &quot;French&quot; listed as languages and you haven't verified this yourself. Then leave the language field blank like you would do on a new disc entry. <br /><br />* The above also applies to region. Always put region corresponding to what your disc is, not the one in the entry. This also applies if your disc matches that of a different region so if your Australian one matches one from Europe. Put region as Australia. Not Europe/Australia. <br /><br />* When attaching logs, you have to press both &quot;Chose file&quot; and &quot;Add file&quot; or it won't attach.<br /><br />* If you feel like helping us mods. You can include a note on how your disc differ from the one you are verifying (ie, new languages, new Mould SID, etc). This is optional but appreciated.<br />(Example) <a href="http://forum.redump.org/topic/71424/addedpc-diablo-iii-reaper-of-souls/">http://forum.redump.org/topic/71424/add &hellip; -of-souls/</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<blockquote><div class="incqbox"><h4>zcal wrote:</h4><p>So why should we label Street Fighter Zero 3 as such instead of &quot;Street Fighter Zero3&quot;?</p></div></blockquote><p>As all bibliographic database do, we standardize titles. Removing a space between ZERO and 3 is a stylization, which is retained in the foreign title like in this case, or sometimes as an alt title in the comments. Other common standardizations are removing stylized capitalization (ZERO -&gt; Zero, unless it is an acronym) and add punctuation ('BIG TITLE' followed by a 'small title' on the next line becomes 'Big Title: Small Title'). Generally follow this page for more about capitalization in main titles: <a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Capitalization_Standards">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= &hellip; _Standards</a><br /><br />As for the Virtual On example, I'm not sure about this case, you'd have to check the title on the disc/case (including spine), and also the in-game title. Often the in-game title screen is prioritized (not always).<br /><br /></p><blockquote><div class="incqbox"><h4>zcal wrote:</h4><p>So how do the structure of these names get decided in the first place?</p></div></blockquote><p>Redump mods have a guide we generally follow, mostly based on existing library standards. But the general idea is to remove &quot;stylization&quot; from the main title and follow proper title case and english rules. Except when the title is not english, in which case we follow romanization rules for each language. The foreign/alt title field is intended to be the title as-is, so you will often see e.g. the main title be &quot;Wipeout&quot; while the alt title is &quot;WipEout&quot;.<br /><br />If there's a specific case you want to point out, make a fix thread with evidence (pics of disc/case/in-game). If it's just because of stylization, please don't make a fix thread.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I've been wondering how names for dumps are decided, especially when they appear to conflict with the name given on the physical media.<br /><br />Take Street Fighter Zero 3, for example.&nbsp; I have both the Saturn and PlayStation versions.&nbsp; On the discs themselves and on the case media, there is no space between &quot;Zero&quot; and &quot;3&quot;.&nbsp; In fact, you can even see in the header of the Saturn dump that the game name is listed as STREET FIGHTER ZERO3.<br /><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/2494/">http://redump.org/disc/2494/</a><br /><br />Contrast this with Street Fighter Zero 2, in which there is an explicit space between &quot;Zero&quot; and &quot;2&quot; on both the case media and in the disc header.<br /><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/1459/">http://redump.org/disc/1459/</a><br /><br />So why should we label Street Fighter Zero 3 as such instead of &quot;Street Fighter Zero3&quot;?<br /><br /><br />Another such case would be Virtual On: Cyber Troopers.&nbsp; Both the case media and header hyphenate Virtual-On, yet in both the Japanese and North American database entries for the Saturn versions of the game, it's listed as &quot;Virtual On&quot;.&nbsp; The weird placement of &quot;Cyber Troopers&quot; on the disc and case media also makes it unclear whether this should precede the &quot;Virtual-On&quot; part of the title.<br /><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/20396/">http://redump.org/disc/20396/</a><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/1625/">http://redump.org/disc/1625/</a><br /><br />And to further this inconsistency, the followup game on the Dreamcast <em>is</em> listed as &quot;Virtual-On&quot;, following both the case media, disc media, and header.<br /><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/5915/">http://redump.org/disc/5915/</a><br /><br /><br />So how do the structure of these names get decided in the first place?&nbsp; Is there any way for a pedantic guy like me to argue for changes to these names?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Are you talking about scratches? CDs/DVDs get scratched because of improper storage, dust that accumulates on them, etc. There are many causes. You can try to repair these scratches yourself (I recommend the Restore and Replay channel on YouTube; they have guides on how to save a disc from scratches - <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_aYfVfHd6eyYMwHhMNVO1g)">https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_aYfV &hellip; wHhMNVO1g)</a> or take the disc to a remanufacturing center (like game shop) that has a remanufacturing machine.</p>]]></description>

Therefore, I had no experience with any type of CD or DVD whatsoever until I started to add second hand discs to this database.<br />That being said, as on the example photo, which is also present on the wiki, rings are usually separated by a darker color without smooth transitions, which I will consider further on if I have a chance to obtain any of these ones.<br />And I want to ask a question: Why using optical discs over time creates this pattern on it?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>This website needs a Anti-DDoS protection to avoid slowdowns, server-side errors et cetera. I want to tell it from my side.<br />I posted Total War: Shogun 2 verification, and after I pressed &quot;Post&quot;, I accidentally deleted the folder that contains dump data. It is the only folder that includes !submissionInfo.txt for the game. Since I already have the archive of the dump, that was not a problem but I don't include !submissionInfo.txt file on the archive because I already submit one with it. After that, the server has responded with &quot;503 Service Unavailable&quot;; and when I refreshed the page, I got an empty topic preview. It took me half an hour to recreate !submissionInfo.txt from the beginning; reading the logs, passing every ringcode... At least it took me only half an hour, it could have taken even more time, but think about this: I had to spend half an hour for no errors on my end. If there was a DDoS protection in place, I wouldn't have been encountered with error 503 in the beginning and everything would have been gone in place.<br /><br />I could have been gave the disc to my friend in the meanwhile, trusting the submission process. I could have sold the disc, which probably has no way back to me. It is impossible for me to memorize every bit of the ringcode. Other informations, such as disc and serial number, are very easy to add to the !submissionInfo.txt by just copying from the Redump page (also, risk of adding false information is always available), but not every information can be added without the original disc.<br /><br />I recommend to integrate Anubis, which blocks bot scrapers [as well?]: <a href="https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis">https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis</a> - considering this website is getting nearly 2k guests (bots) every day, it would be a huge traffic profit. And if the root cause of the outage is not DDoS, which is very unlikely to me, please at least determine and try solve it.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello,<br /><br />I'm working on a tool to help me automate organizing my games collection (including renaming) and the dump datasets I'm able to download are helpful, but I have two requests...<br /><br />I see that there is data for some games with non-English titles (e.g., <a href="http://redump.org/disc/29106/),">http://redump.org/disc/29106/),</a> and I would like my games to be sorted based on the title of the game in the game's region.<br /><br />But the dat files I've been able to download seems like there's no option to include that text in the files.&nbsp; Am I missing the required field? Or is this something we could get added to the dat files?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>My instinct is that it's something about how the UDF filesystem is being written to the CD-R, the 2 errors at LBA 321/322 might be the same cause as the end of the session, as if the first 322 sectors are written as one session, then the remainder as another?<br /><br />Unfortunately I haven't added UDF parsing to sabretools yet like ISO9660, or else I'd get you to do a printout. Maybe you can spot something in the data around LBA 320 that seems common among the discs?</p>]]></description>

Given the regularity of the pattern, I think it has to be some kind of mastering issue rather than damage. The affected blocks are not used by any files, so I can easily copy the files off the disc in e.g. Windows Explorer. The games are playable from the copied files so it doesn't seem to be copy protection either. (I have never seen a doujin release with disc-based copy-protection.)<br /><br />The affected discs seem to have other characteristics in common as well:<br />[list=*]<br />[*]UDF filesystem[/*]<br />[*]Mode 2[/*]<br />[*]Pre-emphasis flag set[/*]<br />[*]Other sectors with invalid mode adjoining the sectors with C2 errors[/*]<br />[/list]<br /><br />Has anyone else encountered this? I wonder if these discs can be considered eligible for Redump submission, for example using --force-split to replace the affected sectors with 0x55, if I can provide two sets of matching logs?<br /><br />Example logs:<br /><a href="http://interbutt.com/misc/Aurorablast3_logs_Plextor.zip">http://interbutt.com/misc/Aurorablast3_logs_Plextor.zip</a><br /><a href="http://interbutt.com/misc/Aurorablast3_logs_OmniDrive.zip">http://interbutt.com/misc/Aurorablast3_ &hellip; iDrive.zip</a></p>]]></description>

Redumper, on the other hand, reports C2 errors when reading problems occur and has a function for refining sectors with C2 errors.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>For disc condition, you can use software like VSO Inspector or CDCheck. The former is the one most useful, but in some instances, it will flat-out fail with some discs for reasons beyond my knowlege, so CDCheck is an useful fallback.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi all <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /><br /><br />I'm interested in helping out as I've got an assortment of optical games media in my collection, with a high percentage of that being PC video game related.<br /><br />First question is that I need to get a suitable drive that works for the project, I have found the wiki page about supported drives and found that I could buy a Plextor 755A DVD/CD-RW drive, and then update the firmware to the one there. Is there anything else I need to know about this, I see that this drive uses an IDE interface - would using a USB to IDE converter work, or am I better using a PCI card with an IDE header on it / older motherboard which has an IDE interface present.<br /><br />Second question, disc condition. I buy many of my optical media secondhand, often in large bundles/lots. This means not all discs are in &quot;perfect&quot; condition, if you're going by music grading standards some of them might be considered &quot;Good&quot;/&quot;Good plus&quot; where there is significant visible wear (scratches, scuffs) but the discs still can be read. Considering the need for specific hardware, are we also expected to provide dumps from &quot;clean&quot; media and would the software easily identify if there was a read error.<br /><br />Thanks in advance <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /></p>]]></description>

Completely understand that life changes and it's more important that you look after yourself first.<br /><br />In terms of buying any of your discs, I'd be interested in picking up all of the Sega Press SP ones as we'd potentially want those for the Hit Save! archive and live stream of promo/behind the scenes content.

I want my games to go to a good home, its not the money I'm after I have plenty of that its just I wanted to give my old mates the opportunity to buy any of my dumps.<br /><br />Leave your comments here and I promise to check back in the following days or weeks.<br /><br />I have a lot of jap dreamcast, and pal, and a few usa, I have psp games and a load of umd movies, not to mention hundreds of xbox,&nbsp; xbox 360, wii, ps2, ps3 which all have to go.<br /><br />I would like to sell in bulk so hopefully those interested can grab some bargains and send my discs to a good home, a better home than cash convereerts or cex or even worse the skip.<br /><br />I know paccy might still want some xbox games, I think the last time I went on this site was before covid and energy prices sky rocketed.<br /><br />Anyway hope all my friends are well and good, leave a comment here if you are.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Update:<br /><br />I spotted SLPS-00653 serial in a store-only promo disc (MiruMiru), it belongs to an probably unreleased PS port of Father Christmas (SS game).<br /><br />SLPM 80639 is also now dumped: <a href="http://redump.org/disc/130756/">http://redump.org/disc/130756/</a><br /><br />SLES-01894 remains a mystery, but it is located in the BIOS next to other regional variants of Player Manager 99, so there's a chance some other region exists or was planned (English/German/Italian/French/UK/Portugal are dumped, Greek and Dutch match English).<br /><br />That just leaves the SLES serials that were probably allocated to Resident Evil, and may have been cancelled or internal/beta discs as there's no evidence that an undumped regional variant exists:<br />SLES-00977 (Disc 1)<br />SLES-10977 (Disc 2)<br />SLES-01227 (Disc 1)<br />SLES-11227 (Disc 2)</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi!<br /><br />As some of you may know, Tony and I have been working hard buying and dumping the remaining common PAL titles for Xbox 360 in order to verificate most of the non-regional european listed in the Wiki:<br /><br /><a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Microsoft_Xbox_360_-_PAL_Undumped_Discs">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= &hellip; mped_Discs</a><br /><br />Thanks to the funds obtained from the fundrising promoted, as well as our own funds and the help of other users, we are really close to complete our &quot;Wanted&quot; list.<br /><br />We were very specific about the titles we wanted so understand is impossible to clean the list at all. But, by the time we are finished, the essencial core of the Xbox 360 set will be correctly documented in Redump.org<br /><br />This post is a call to all the recent european Xbox 360 dumpers i've seen posting verifications: We are struggling trying to reach a Ninja Gaiden 3 - Razor's Edge PAL copy (is common to the whole Europe/Australia and should match USA).<br /><br />Is not super-expensive (about 40 euros) but we've invested a lot of money from our side (and we will use more to a batch of games coming from UK thanks to Billy). So if you guys can assist us with this one, would be awesome.<br /><br />Thanks for the atention <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/big_smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="big_smile" /><br /><br /><br />BTW, I'm going to take the chance to advice the team again: The Xbox 360 PAL Missings Wiki would benefit a lot for a rebuild. While I deeply apreciate all the fixes added, this list needs a little twist to understand better which discs are being completely missed, which one are verifications needed, and which ones would be good to be verificated in order to confirm the regions.<br /><br />Not easy task, but again, we are trying to erase all non-regional ones from it.</p>]]></description>

Could also try using an older version of CleanRip in case there is some issue there.<br /><br />PZHF69 is probably a new dump, however, your Game Boy Player Disc should match the current dump.<br /><br />What is the ringcode for NFS Underground? Or maybe both discs just to be sure?</p>]]></description>

Previously, I did this directly on the GameCube with Phoenix + BBA.<br /><br />I followed this page on the wiki:<br /><a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Nintendo_GameCube_and_Wii_Dumping_Guide_with_a_Wii_Console">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= &hellip; ii_Console</a><br /><br />Here is my setup:<br /><br />- PAL Wii with Homebrew Channel (softmod)<br />- CleanRip 2.3.1 &amp; IOS58<br /><br />When I dump GameCube games, I don’t get the correct CRC/MD5... <br />I’ve tested on USB support, SD card, FAT or NTFS. I always have the same incorrect CRC/MD5...<br /><br />I dumped a game that I had previously dumped on GameCube, and I don’t have the correct CRC (even though it’s the same disc).<br /><br />If I dump a Wii game, the CRC/MD5/SHA-1 match database, but not the BCA.<br />Can you explain what I might be doing wrong?<br /><br />Thank you in advance for your help.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm guessing you're hitting &quot;Yes&quot; when CleanRip is asking if it's a Datel disc. Datel discs are third party cheat devices like Action Replay discs. These are dumped with a different version of CleanRip with better support. If you're dumping at all on newer CleanRip versions you should be saying &quot;No&quot; to that prompt.<br /><br />BCA not matching is fine, BCA changes quite often even with the same game. I think it's tied to the ringcode itself so if that's new your BCA will be as well.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In the PlayStation 3 dumping page (<a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Sony_PlayStation_3_Dumping_Guide#Method_1:_ManaGunZ">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= &hellip; :_ManaGunZ</a>), it is specified that 4.89 or below is required for installing ManaGunZ (<a href="https://github.com/Zarh/ManaGunZ/releases">https://github.com/Zarh/ManaGunZ/releases</a>). However, I found a fork of ManaGunZ (<a href="https://github.com/RobbedColek/ManaGunZ/tags">https://github.com/RobbedColek/ManaGunZ/tags</a>) that allegedly works until 4.91. Even though the latest PlayStation 3 firmware as of 03/05/25 is 4.92 (<a href="https://www.playstation.com/en-us/support/hardware/ps3/system-software">https://www.playstation.com/en-us/suppo &hellip; m-software</a>), this is still an improvement from the original project. Can I use this fork to dump my PlayStation 3 discs? If I can, can you update the wiki page to change it so everyone can use it?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I hope it's alright if I ask about a couple of very different things in one post.<br /><br />Item #1: The Immortals - Mortal Kombat (<a href="https://www.discogs.com/release/165663-The-Immortals-Mortal-Kombat">Discogs</a>, <a href="https://vgmdb.net/album/2448">VGMdb</a>)<br />I thought this (not particularly rare) Mortal Kombat CD would already be on Redump, but was surprised to find out it's not. Is this intentional, or was it simply never submitted? I couldn't find any prior discussion about it here on the forums or on the VGPC Discord.<br /><br />Item #2: Game Programming Gems 3 (CD-ROM)<br />This game programming textbook comes with a CD-ROM, with the following description from the back of the book:<br /></p><blockquote><div class="incqbox"><p>The CD-ROM is packed with portable source code in C &amp; C++. Most of the techniques will work on all platforms, however, there are some techniques that will only work on Windows/DirectX. Also included are demos of many of the techniques described in the book, the DirectX 8.1 SDK, the OpenGL Utility Toolkit (GLUT), the glSetup Monolithic version, and high resolution versions of the color plates.</p></div></blockquote>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I've brought this up with staff to review.&nbsp; It's possible the earlier ones were simply overlooked, without knowing exactly what content was on them.&nbsp; I took a look at some of the US standard counterparts, which don't appear to be redump eligible without further review.&nbsp; Covermount alone wouldn't necessarily make them eligible unless the significant majority of that particular coverdisc series was gaming-related or redump-eligible, which I don't know.<br /><br />We will take a closer look at this.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>What's the Redump consensus on Eyewitness Virtual Reality titles released as covermount? I assumed they were completely inelegible, given the complete absence of their regular versions in the database (at least as far as I could tell), but I've found two Polish covermount releases (<a href="http://redump.org/disc/32404/">32404: Encyclopedia of Nature</a> and <a href="http://redump.org/disc/32370/">32370: Eyewitness History of the World</a>) that don't seem to be related to gaming.<br /><br />I ask because I have a copy of the 2 CD Billiken Compu June 2001 covermount release, which includes <em>Silkolene Honda Motocross GP</em> in one disc, and <em>Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Space and the Universe</em> in another. For what's worth, the latter is considered interactive enough for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/167353/eyewitness-encyclopedia-of-space-and-the-universe/">MobyGames</a>.<br /><br />For further context:<br /><br />The same magazine also had the following release schedule involving Eyewitness titles: July 2001 was a 2 CD release with <em>Akimbo: Kung-Fu Hero</em>/<em>Eyewitness Virtual Reality: Cat</em>. September 2001 was a 3 CD release with Seven Kingdoms/<em>Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Nature 2.0</em> + a CD-ROM with a bunch of Microsoft demos. And finally the October 2001 issue was a 3 CD release with <em>Sergei Bubka's Millennium Games</em>/<em>Eyewitness Encyclopedia of Science 2.0</em> (also interactive enough for <a href="https://www.mobygames.com/game/98307/eyewitness-encyclopedia-of-science-20/">MobyGames</a>) + a CD-ROM with another 9 demos from Microsoft.<br /><br />Aditionally, the May 2001 Billiken Compu covermount was also a 2 CD <em>Knights and Merchants</em>/<em>Eyewitness Virtual Reality: Dinosaur Hunter</em> release, but there are at least three entries for that title in the database (<a href="http://redump.org/disc/90154/">90154</a>, <a href="http://redump.org/disc/32400/">32400</a> and <a href="http://redump.org/disc/59197/">59197</a>) already, so I assume it is elegible.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>•&nbsp; &nbsp; Fable II&nbsp; &nbsp; Spain&nbsp; &nbsp; N&nbsp; &nbsp; Rev 1&nbsp; &nbsp; <br /><br />Probably doesn't exist. <br /><br /><br />Fable II (Classics) got a cover nearly identical to the next GOTY reprint. I asked 7-8 sellers in Wallapop about the Classics edition, expecting any of them to be Rev.1.<br /><br />All ringcodes matched the current GOTY release dumped by Javidelarosa and I.<br /><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/20232/">http://redump.org/disc/20232/</a><br /><br />I talked with Tony, he never found out any Rev.1 release for the Italian version. While I would have suspected of a Rev. 1 version existing reading the existing information... So far, I can't show any proof for it existing in Spain.<br /><br /><br />UPDATE:<br /><br />My bad. As I expected, I got it wrong. GOTY got republished as &quot;Classics&quot;. The egg before the chicken dilemma. It seems that the GOTY version got reprint without the &quot;GOTY&quot; label but kept the info regarding the extra contents. So all Classics version match GOTY.<br /><br />Which made me start looking around thanks to the known dumps, I think that I spotted the infamous Rev.1 --&gt; Is contained in the Fable 2 + Halo 3 Bundle. <br /><br />New ringcode: 22B444CE, confirmed to be Rev. 1 for Spain.<br /><br />•&nbsp; &nbsp; Two Worlds&nbsp; &nbsp; Europe (France, Germany at least)&nbsp; &nbsp; N&nbsp; &nbsp; 64733C4B in ringcode - SP200403E0X11. Languages to be checked&nbsp; &nbsp; <br /><br /><br />I bought one in Spain (spanish cover). What confused me was that all documented releases in Redump are in english language. But this game was release in Multi. Finally bought it.<br /><br />I asked a seller about the Royale Edition. I can confirm the disc is the same. I will not buy this release because it is a bit expensive but you can add this info to the Wiki.</p>]]></description>

The thing is that just by changing some data from the header, the game could be loaded in Spanish (my console was on that language). The texts and subtitles were in perfect castilian Spanish. So I am assuming that the rest of the languages were available as well.<br /><br />So I am guessing that the disc is region locked, only to be displayed in english. But I can assure that Spanish is in it so...Should be the languages added to the database?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Yo, coming back to this thread with an update.<br /><br />I installed the Plextor drive straight into my old PC, through the IDE cable, the way it's supposed to be. And it seems to be working fine now! I will have to make some more dumps to test everything, but for the time being I should just leave this fact here for future reference: the AgeStar IUBCP ATA-USB cable does not let you make dumps, at least on Windows 11. So yes, the interface *was* the main problem after all.<br /><br />That said, my questions about drive firmware, diagnostics and getting an understanding of the dumping process are still relevant, so I'd be glad for some clarifications.<br /><br />In the mean time, I'll try to make some more dumps of varied media to see how it works.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hey everyone, <br /><br />I hope you are all doing well. I wanted to share a small web application I recently finished and started using for managing my own physical game library. I thought this would be a community would benefit from an application like that. I was having trouble remembering what games I have in my library and where they are, so I came up with something. It's free and opensource, I don't want anything in return. This is also not an alternative or anything to redump, this is purely for managing physical games, where they are stored and if you want to attach any patches/updates/savegames etc. <br /><br />Here's the github repo:<br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/rootifera/GameCubby">https://github.com/rootifera/GameCubby</a><br /><br />Also I tried to write some documentation about how to install and use:<br /><br /><a href="https://github.com/rootifera/GameCubby/wiki/">https://github.com/rootifera/GameCubby/wiki/</a><br /><br /><br />I hope this would be helpful, I'm happy to help if you have any questions and also I hope this is not against any forum rules.<br /><br />Thanks!<br />Rootifera</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>-93.5.13<br />Yes... but something funky is going on.<br />On real hardware, unmodified JP VA4 + Megasd, it will only boot with US bios. Forcing JP bios loads it as an audio disc, with no option to launch CD-ROM/Program.<br />Similar behavior on emu (Kega Fusion), bios auto-selection boots it as US and forcing JP bios doesn't allow to launch it, like on real hardware..<br /><br />-93.6.21<br />Doesn't the title screen take precedence ? I would have thought so, but yeah not obvious when the rest says otherwise.<br /><br />Thanks!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello, dear dumpers! I'm in the process of making my first legit setup to dump games and music CDs, and I'm experiencing some problems. I have a few questions about the process in general as well. I have read all the introductory guides, but haven't found answers and solutions to everything.<br /><br />My setup is:<br />– Plextor PX-708A2 drive (default firmware v1.09, relatively new, warranty seal intact, only about 500 hours of work)<br />– NEC laptop running Windows 11 Pro 24H2<br />– MPF v3.3.3 and Redumper v2025.07.14 build_631<br />– the CD drive is connected to the laptop via an ATA-USB cable (AgeStar IUBCP) and external Molex power source (in my suspicion, this interface is the main problem)<br /><br />So far, none of the dumps have produced a finished result – that is, actual dumped data (like a .cue/.dat pair) or metadata. At the same time, all the discs are read by Windows just fine, audio playback and filesystems are good.<br /><br />The IBM PC game CDs I have tried mostly get stuck right after the &quot;PROTECTION&quot; line in the Redumper console log. They hang like this forever without any sounds from the drive. Upon terminating the console window, MPF says &quot;.cue and .dat were missing from the output&quot;.<br /><br />Audio CDs behave differently. They pass the &quot;DUMP&quot; phase with the SCSI error count seemingly equal to the amount of LBA blocks. Then, after hanging on &quot;REFINE&quot; for 3 hours, it says &quot;correction statistics: SCSI: 0 samples&quot;. Does this mean that the entire disk was considered erroroneous, but all of the errors got ultimately fixed, or, conversely, that it fixed nothing? Does an SCSI error mean it can't read anything at all?<br />One audio CD stopped dumping at &quot;SPLIT&quot;, logging &quot;error: file is empty (Audio CD.subcode)&quot;, ultimately producing no .cue/.dat as well.<br /><br />So with these symptoms provided, I have a few questions:<br /><br />1. Does anyone have experience with an ATA-USB connection? If it does not let one produce dumps, should I set up a separate legacy PC with legitimate ATA (IDE) input instead?<br />2. If the drive might be the culprit, is there a recommended way to generate a health report and diagnose problems?<br />3. Redumper's console output is quite verbose, but not detailed enough to understand for the layman. Is there a guide that outlines what's happening in each stage of the dumping process and how to decipher the logs?<br />4. MPF hangs up and stops responding quite a lot after finishing dumping or checking for protection, requiring to end its process – is this normal?<br />5. I see it is recommended to update the drive's firmware – is the provided firmware in any way diiferent (patched) from the factory-provided, or can it be left as is if the version is the same?<br /><br />I may provide some of the logs if needed.<br />I'm new to this, so any help, explanations and pings in the right direction are appreciated!</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Sorry to necro this thread - I was also trying to solve the problem with the <em>datafile.dtd</em> hosted on the long-dead <em>logiqx.com</em>.<br /><br />Using the Internet Archive, I was able to find an old copy of the DTD file from 2023 <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20230405091520/http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/datafile.dtd">here</a>.<br /><br />I thought maybe changing the URL in the DAT accordingly would do the trick, like so:<br /></p><div class="codebox"><div class="incqbox"><h4>Code:</h4><div class="scrollbox" style="height: 9em"><pre>
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE datafile PUBLIC &quot;-//Logiqx//DTD ROM Management Datafile//EN&quot; &quot;https://web.archive.org/web/20230405091520/http://www.logiqx.com/Dats/datafile.dtd&quot;&gt;
</pre></div></div></div><p>...but then I get an error saying:<br /></p><blockquote><div class="incqbox"><p>Expected DTD markup was not found. Line 1, position 3.</p></div></blockquote><p>Next attempt: Download the DTD file and use it locally (put it in the same folder as the DAT):<br /></p><div class="codebox"><div class="incqbox"><h4>Code:</h4><div class="scrollbox" style="height: 9em"><pre>
&lt;?xml version=&quot;1.0&quot;?&gt;
&lt;!DOCTYPE datafile PUBLIC &quot;-//Logiqx//DTD ROM Management Datafile//EN&quot; &quot;datafile.dtd&quot;&gt;
</pre></div></div></div><p>...and that works! <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /><br /><br />Hope it's able to help someone.<br /><br />I have a question in return: can this tool also generate Redump-style CUE sheets if I provide the correct DAT?&nbsp; So far all I've been able to get it to do is write GDI.&nbsp; Maybe I am misunderstanding the instructions...</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I think it is less about being associated with DIC or about active development, just that DIC does have three important differences with redumper:<br />1. Audio CD splits and write offset detection, which is why we only accept Audio CDs with redumper<br />2. There is a difference in how Redumper and DIC decide to descramble or not descramble certain invalid/unexpected data sectors. This only affects &quot;edge cases&quot;, but it is important as some discs will not match redump hashes as a result (while the dump itself is fine, just post-processing is different). This is a design decision between the two programs, and we have decided to fix upon redumper's handling of it. DIC has changed how it handles different types of invalid/unexpected sectors over time.<br />3. For the new drives (Mediatek-based blu-ray drives), the leadout sectors are read using a cache read. DIC's current implementation of the cache read is prone to producing a bad dump, while redumper has fixed it (which is why these new drives have become acceptable for new dumps).<br /><br />For Plextor dumps, DIC remains acceptable for dumps, with the above caveats. We therefore recommend using redumper as a &quot;first step&quot;. In an ideal world, everyone could dump with both programs for self-verification, but we cannot force all dumpers to do this.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>AFAIK DIC is also in active development, Sarami usually tries to fix things reported on github.<br />The features it lack should be related to extreme edge cases, otherwise there wouldn't be hundreds (thousands?) of discs that were dumped with DIC.<br />I don't have any issues with the fact that you guys prefer redumper over DIC, but only accepting verifications using DIC seems somewhat excessive. You're making it look like DIC has some sort of issue that makes its dumps faulty.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Tekken Hybrid has BD-Video content that include files that are probably interleaved or non-contiguous, and PS3-ISO-Rebuilder probably doesn't know how to rebuild this. If you created the IRD with MPF (using my program) then the IRD is correct, its just the rebuilding program that can't handle it.<br />You can try NKit2 to rebuild it instead: <a href="https://github.com/Nanook/NKit">https://github.com/Nanook/NKit</a><br />This program that is currently in development, sadly I think the beta version is currently only available for download at their discord.</p>]]></description>

However, the SLES serial number association at Sony is done in the previews and betas, which already have the code assigned in the case of TLES. Therefore, I'm also analyzing the beta data to try to close the search loop. In this case, for example, I think I've found SLES 50063, which I believe could be the canceled PS2 version of 007: The World Is Not Enough.<br />But at the moment, I don't have enough data to 100% confirm this theory, which is why I wanted the DNS data to further narrow down the possibilities.<br /><br />I'm currently cross-referencing the creation dates of the known betas, the release dates (or first news confirming the PS2 version of the game), and the executable dates for the games &quot;close&quot; to the breach.<br /><br />Hopefully, with the DNS data, I can improve my theory.<br /><br />Thank you very much.</p>]]></description>

So I'm wondering if there's a &quot;missing&quot; list of PS3 discs currently without keys, to see if I might have those among my discs. Otherwise I'll just dump via PC which is easier!</p>]]></description>

I have the following drive:<br /><img class="postimg" src="http://forum.redump.org/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&amp;item=23733&amp;download=0" alt="http://forum.redump.org/misc.php?action=pun_attachment&amp;amp;item=23733&amp;amp;download=0" /><br /><br />It's obviously a TS-H353, but is it a TS-H353A, TS-H353B or TS-H353C? The &quot;HP Model&quot; contains &quot;TS-H353C&quot; but below that it says &quot;H/W: A&quot; and in smaller letters nearer the top it says &quot;TS-H353(B)&quot;.<br /><br />If it's a C, I want to flash the ZZ00 firmware for CD dumping (<a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Optical_Disc_Drive_Compatibility:_CD">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= &hellip; bility:_CD</a>), but if it's an A or B, I want to flash the Kreon firmware for Xbox/360/Dreamcast dumping (<a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Optical_Disc_Drive_Compatibility:_Xbox_(original)_%26_Xbox_360">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= &hellip; 6_Xbox_360</a>).<br /><br />Presumably I could damage the drive by trying the wrong firmware?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thanks to significant updates in redumper, the firmware patches from Rib and MoriGM, and thousands of dumps by the community, Redump is updating guidance for disc drives that are compatible for CD dumping!<br /><br />Please see the updated and revamped wiki page: <a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Optical_Disc_Drive_Compatibility:_CD">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= &hellip; bility:_CD</a>&nbsp; <br />On this page, you will see the list of compatible drives split into two sections now:<br /><br />1)&nbsp; New Dump &amp; Verification Submissions<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This section includes drives that can be used for submitting both new discs and verifications to redump.<br /><br />2)&nbsp; Verification Submissions Only<br />&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;This section includes drives that can (for now) only be used for submitting verifications. We will continue to test these extensively to see if any will become eligible for new discs.<br /><br /><strong>Please note:</strong> All dumps done with the drives recently added to the lists <strong>*must*</strong> be done with Redumper build 610 or later (MPF 3.3.2 or later).&nbsp; This includes the ASUS drives in the “New Dump” section, as well as all the drives in the “Verifications Only” section.&nbsp; We strongly recommend using redumper build 610 or later for all dumps going forward.<br /><br />Please consult the compatibility pages on the wiki for the latest list of acceptable drives, and please reach out on the forum or via discord if you have any questions.&nbsp; Thank you!<br /><br />Forum Thread for Discussion and Questions:&nbsp; <a href="http://forum.redump.org/topic/63178/optical-disc-drives-compatible-with-compact-discs-cds/">http://forum.redump.org/topic/63178/opt &hellip; discs-cds/</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<blockquote><div class="incqbox"><p>How would any program using DPM work without being able to read it?</p></div></blockquote><p>I apologize if I was unclear; I don't understand how that response relates to the question I asked. As far as I saw from reading this thread, you were unable to read DPM from the .mds format, and switched to using a different format instead. Is that correct?<br /><br />Anyhow; rereading my previous message, I was really vague about what my roadblock still was. The one thing I'm missing is getting the correct value for microseconds per rotation. I understand that the way you're supposed to do this is by using Force Unit Access (on a drive that obeys, this, anyways) and constantly re-reading the same sector; the time it takes to re-read it each time should be the amount of time it takes to read 360 degrees, since the drive needs to make a full rotation to re-read the same sector. Once you have that, the rest of the math necessary is pretty trivial. My problem is, the values I get from trying to do this just don't seem to make sense. I don't know if I'm supposed to be compensating for scsi latency somehow, or if I need to compensate for rotational latency, or what.<br /><br /><strong>Tl;dr: if someone can figure out how to get (micro)seconds per rotation, which is supposed to be done via repeatedly re-reading the same sector, that would be pretty much everything I need to make proper DPM/MDS dumps.</strong></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Added new command line switch:<br />extrforceecc: 0/1 - this option forces correction of ECC even when EDC is correct. Old version skipped ECC correction when EDC was ok. Default value is 0. <br /><br />But... after looking at: <a href="http://forum.redump.org/topic/62503/possible-bug-or-quirk-with-redumper/">http://forum.redump.org/topic/62503/pos &hellip; -redumper/</a> @ sector 25701.bad things get complicated. The bad sector internally gets corrected but it zeroes out M/S/F/Track bytes. It looks like ECC is deliberately corrupted. After all even with extrforceecc = 1, repaired sector is not merged into the image.<br /><br />So, this version does what you want but not for this specific sector...<br />What do you think about all of this?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>One thing about dumping DPM timings that should be mentioned explicitly, is that <strong>a constant angular velocity reading seems mandatory</strong>.<br /><br />Obviously, the shape of the timings curve strongly suggests that, but the best argument is in fact the inner/outer edge timings ratio : it equals 2.4 for a CD with around 333 000 sectors, which is EXACTLY the theoretical bitrate increase ratio in CAV mode.<br /><br />Transfer rates analysis with either constant linear velocity (CLV) or constant angular velocity (CAV) also proves that density variations in SecuROM discs can be detected using CAV, but not with CLV.<br /><br />CAV<br /><a href="https://postimg.cc/hht9B3sv"><img class="postimg" src="https://i.postimg.cc/hht9B3sv/securom-cav-24x-success.png" alt="https://i.postimg.cc/hht9B3sv/securom-cav-24x-success.png" /></a><br /><br />CLV<br /><a href="https://postimg.cc/8f4KjF3v"><img class="postimg" src="https://i.postimg.cc/8f4KjF3v/securom-clv-8x-failure.png" alt="https://i.postimg.cc/8f4KjF3v/securom-clv-8x-failure.png" /></a><br /><br /><br />@sarami @reentrant<br />Do you know how to force CAV mode?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I have been using this version of CDArchive to get some sectors from problematic discs and noticed that it won't save the sector if the data section matches, but the ECC Q doesn't. The problem is in the .bin file, as verified by scanning with CDMage. Would it be possible for CDArchive to (force) save the sector in such cases?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I only just saw this thread today. I had already been working on something that can read mds DPM, do curve smoothing, attempt to convert the securom spikes and a second smooth curve, and write back to an MDS file. Two things<br /><br />- Have you still not figured out how to read the 4 byte DPM values from .mds files? They're pretty simple, and they've already been documented at both aaru and cdemu. I figured you have by now given it's well documented, but I just wanted to make sure.<br /><br />- If I'm reading this all correctly; is there currently a way to get timing values with DIC, and an equation to convert those timing values to angles or rotations per sector or anything like that? <br /><br />Those were the 2 major pieces I've been missing. I can send my awful python scripts here, but I want to know both of those things first. They're pretty haphazard and I'd need to clean them up before sending them here.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The two curves at the top allow to have a quick look at the whole disc.<br />The two curves at the bottom focus on the first 750 samples to zoom in on the first region's pattern found in SecuROM 4.8+ discs.<br /><br />This pattern is identical for all regions, and highly specific. It is not 100% specific to one disc in particular, as two different games from the same publisher might use the same pattern, nethertheless, as far as I know, one particular game is always associated with the same pattern.<br />On that matter, it would be possible to obtain a reproducible characteristic for DPM, as opposed to hashes, by using the pattern more or less like a barcode, translated to a series of numbers.<br /><br />In the log, the two most important things are :<br />- the layout : unreliable (bad dump), regions x spikes per region count (SecuROM dump), normal (non-SecuROM dump).<br />- the curve % : a &quot;smoothness&quot; score (the closer to 100%, the cleaner in terms of analog noise).</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I did a bit of testing with different time stamp functions. It seems that after simply iterating a printf in a for loop, clock(), QueryPerformanceCounter() in Windows, and clock_gettime() in Linux give extremely close results when CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID is used.<br /><br />If that behavior is consistent in any situation, which needs to be checked, I find it even harder to understand how one would achieve the task of measuring DPM with these functions, unless the I/O latency is deduced, because they try to assess the same thing, that is the CPU time spent on a process, while the time <strong>NOT</strong> spent by the CPU is required for DPM (as I see it).<br /><br />I wonder if calculating the difference between clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) and clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_CPUTIME_ID) is enough to approximate the drive's latency variations.</p>]]></description>

Try to call SetEnvironmentVariableW / SetEnvironmentVariableA with path to your Python install directory (C:\Users\xxx\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python312-32) before InitC2 function.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi, I have not tested MPF on XP, it's just a build of MPF that *should* work.<br />You'll need Dotnet installed: <a href="https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/download/dotnet-framework/net40">https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/down &hellip; work/net40</a><br />And then (try to) run this: <a href="https://github.com/Deterous/MPF-Legacy/releases/download/v3.3/MPF-Legacy_v3.3_net40_win32.zip">https://github.com/Deterous/MPF-Legacy/ &hellip; _win32.zip</a><br /><br />If it's not working, I recommend running the dumping tools (DIC/Redumper) directly via command line on your old machine, and then on a modern machine running MPF.Check on the dump files (You can do this in the GUI, Tools-&gt;Check Dump).</p>]]></description>

It means 1 error can be corrected for a row of 26 bytes (or 2 positions without correcting).<br />ECCQ = RS(45,43) - difference = 2. It means 1 error can be a corrected for a row of 45 bytes (or 2 positions without correcting).<br /><br />When you combine the RS algorithm with C2 pointers from the device and use the pointers as erasures it's possible to increase algorithm strength twice (2 errors can be corrected).<br /><br />C2Corrector does just that - it uses C2 pointers as erasures (positions of invalid bytes) and tries to repair the data. Bytes that were repaired are recorded in c2Repaired buffer. This buffer should be combined with C2 buffer received from the device + appropriate repaired bytes should be replaced with data from sectorData buffer.<br /><br />That's also how drives work internally. Depending on the manufacturer number of iterations varies (re-read + repair). Some are worse, some are better...</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>About reverse engineering, I'm not sure that the alcohol application is the best candidate to start from. I've only recently discovered that the old .bwa file format used by Blindwrite back in 2002 was in fact storing DPM information the <em>exact same way</em> than the very latest Alcohol 120% version released in 2023.<br /><br />The thing is that those .bwa files were created by a much smaller dedicated stand-alone program called BWA builder. Since smaller probably also means it's simpler, it might be more interesting to analyze it with Bus Hound, or even to decompile it.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thank you for sharing that code reentrant.<br /><br />That's indeed the core logic involving the use of thresholds, obviously due to the analog nature of DPM. Even as is, it already worked quite well with DVDs because what you called 'readingTimeDifference' was spread across significantly less sectors than the length in sectors that's used for sampling (corresponding to the 'resolution') which made the detection of a 'range' in the same pass way more feasible. For CDs however, 2 to 3 samples are actually needed to describe that timing difference...</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I decided to simply check edc/ecc if sync or mode was irregular. It is nonsense to change behavior depending on CD-i or not.<br /><br />If mode bit1 is 0 and bit0 is 1, it deems to the mode1 and calc edc/ecc.<br />If mode bit1 is 1 and bit0 is 0, it deems to the mode2 form1/2 and calc edc/ecc.<br />If edc/ecc is correct, the sector is unscrambled, otherwise is not unscrambled.<br /><br />If mode bit1 is 0 and bit0 is 0, it deems to the mode0 and the sector is unscrambled if sync and msf is correct.<br />If mode bit1 is 1 and bit0 is 1, it deems to unknown and the sector is not unscrambled.<br /><br />The result would be the same as redumper's test(01..46), perhaps.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,<br /><br />When I started submitting discs, I mostly used Redumper. Then, I saw that DIC was better, in particular with mixed Data-Audio discs, so...<br />I'm in the process of redumping all my discs with DIC &amp; Redumper to ensure all my dumps are correct.<br /><br />I need help to figure out a weird situation with 3 discs.<br /><br />The two firsts are covermount games that have not been submitted yet. (iM1A2 Abrams &amp; Take No Prisoners).<br />(Single track/Not mixed discs)<br /><br />I dumped each game 4 times :<br />- 2 times with Redumper (1x &amp; 4x)<br />- 2 times with DiscImageCreator (1x &amp; 4x)<br /><br />And... I get consistent different dumps.<br /><br />Redumper consistent dumps differs from DiscImageCreator consistent ones.<br /><br />The thrid game is Heroes of Might &amp; Magic II (That have been submitted : <a href="http://redump.org/disc/118659/">http://redump.org/disc/118659/</a>)<br />(Mixed disc)<br /><br />I just redumped this game six times.<br />- 3 times with Redumper (1x, 4x &amp; 8x)<br />- 3 times with DiscImageCreator (1x, 4x &amp; 8x)<br /><br />And again, I get consistent differents dumps between Redumper &amp; DiscImageCreator.<br /><br />All the discs are in a good shape, no scratches, no moisture.<br /><br />The question is : Which dumps should I trust to be the good ones : DIC dumps or Redumper dumps ?<br /><br />Your help would be appreciated <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /><br /><br />Regards,</p>]]></description>

There's good news and the bad news. I was able to locate code responsible for checking ECC / EDC&nbsp; / repairing. The bad news is that it's heavy math (Reed Solomon codes). I was able to find this article by looking after specific magic constants, for example 1118:<br /><br /><a href="https://topic.alibabacloud.com/a/eccedc-algorithm_8_8_32007687.html">https://topic.alibabacloud.com/a/eccedc &hellip; 07687.html</a><br /><br />Unless someone rips that code from CDMage (hard) or writes it from scratch (hard+++) there's no room for improvement for cd dumping <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/hmm.png" width="15" height="15" alt="hmm" /><br /><br />EDIT2:<br />For DVDs process can be improved in two ways:<br />- 2048B sectors can be auto merged into input image file (in the code I have: rangeContext.writeSectorToImage = FALSE, so it's just a matter of setting it to TRUE)<br />- Read speed can be optimized if I know which 2048B sector is already correct in the input image. If sectors is full of zeroes - I can assume it's corrupted and try to re-read it. Is it safe?<br /><br />For CDs process can be improved in one way:<br />- 2352B sectors can be auto merged into input image file (in the code I have: rangeContext.writeSectorToImage = FALSE, so it's just a matter of setting it to TRUE)<br /><br />Attached newest build with auto-merge enabled...</p>]]></description>

It seems msf of test data is normal (00:02:00).</p></div></blockquote><p>Each filename has a number suffix that indicates the expected LBA. When redumper descrambles, it knows the position of of the sector and if it matches, it's the strong check for the successful descramble.<br />So .42 means that expected LBA of the sector contents is 42, on the other hand .null means that there is no positional information.<br />For the details see <a href="https://github.com/superg/redumper/blob/main/tests/tests.cc#L187">https://github.com/superg/redumper/blob &hellip; ts.cc#L187</a><br /><br />The bottom line is, DIC never followed CD specs in the first place (always descramble if there is sync header and it's data track). Long time ago I've been checking your descramble code and you have a lot of logic that checks if padding is empty, if mode is correct and some other things. So the current status quo is to have clean dumps without garbage and redumper is doing exactly that. The test cases were created solely to make sure that any subsequent redumper code change is not affecting whole redump.org database.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<blockquote><div class="incqbox"><h4>Urk wrote:</h4><p> I thought that it was the reason why Redumper was later accepted than DIC for dumps.</p></div></blockquote><p>Redumper is new, that is why it is only recently accepted.<br /><br />Both tools are dumping the exact same data from the discs, the difference is in how they are doing post-processing.<br />For the Might &amp; Magic disc, they just split at different locations. DIC has identical pregap lengths for all tracks, Redumper has different pregap for Track 30 and 32. For this disc, it is due to the subcode desync messages, likely needs to be fixed (Redumper currently incorrect splits). <strong>I have fixed redump.org hashes to include the DIC splits (Tracks 29-32 have changed)</strong>.<br /><br />For the other two discs, they have some invalid sectors (one of which is EDC/ECC error). DIC and Redumper treat these errors differently, hence the different hashes. It is likely that redumper's method here is preferred. These are all the test cases that Redumper uses when determining what to do with invalid/unexpected sectors: <a href="https://github.com/superg/redumper/tree/main/tests/unscramble">https://github.com/superg/redumper/tree &hellip; unscramble</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>In what way did you think that DIC is better?<br />If you can then dumping with both can help ensure the dump is good, but Redumper is recommended for the majority of discs.<br /><br />As for why the dumps are different, the logs give hints as to non-zero errors, invalid sync sectors.<br />There are some scenarios that Redumper and DIC deal with unexpected sectors differently.<br />I would have to look at the logs closer to be sure.<br /><br />Also, please update your MPF to the latest version (3.3.0) which contains the recommended version of Redumper and has fixed a lot of bugs.</p>]]></description>

Tries for a few seconds before giving a Amber 5 (Offset adjustment failed)<br /><br />With SF-DB10 N5: Drive makes ticking noises when presented with a CD and wont spin up the disc. Eventually gives an Amber 2 (Auto adjustment failed). DVDs Reads and dumps fine. <br /><br />With SF-DB10 T12: Drive doesn't recognize any discs. Wont try and spin up and behaves as if no disc was present.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>No, please do not add the iso into any new disc post.&nbsp; Redump does not store or share any game files, just the metadata / dump information.&nbsp; <br /><br />Additionally, redump does not &quot;manage&quot; or otherwise have any involvement in what individual dumpers choose to do with their game files after dumping.&nbsp; <br /><br />The MIA lists are lists of what is believed to be MIA based on lists that are shared, but it is not something that we track or manage here directly.&nbsp; <br /><br />If an individual wants to address an MIA or otherwise do something with their game files, that is of their own discretion in terms of what they do and where they share information.&nbsp; Some people may choose to upload data to the Internet Archive or various other places, if they so choose.<br /><br />Hopefully this helps to clarify and explain that redump does not store or manage those files in any way.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>The 5 games in redump I know of with Copy Blockbuster (there don't seem to be any more, thankfully? Other than undumped regional versions)<br /><br />Pizza Syndicate (specifically just Germany and Italy):<br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/40426/">http://redump.org/disc/40426/</a><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/76708/">http://redump.org/disc/76708/</a><br />Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten Vol. 2 (Germany) <br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/108209/">http://redump.org/disc/108209/</a><br />Gute Zeiten, schlechte Zeiten - Fun Pack (Germany) <br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/108206/">http://redump.org/disc/108206/</a><br />Pizza Syndicate - Mission CD - Mehr Biss (Germany) <br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/97572/">http://redump.org/disc/97572/</a><br />Swing Plus - Total Mindcontrol (Germany) <br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/97593/">http://redump.org/disc/97593/</a><br /><br />I first noticed these games because they all (aside from base Pizza Syndicate) have a ton of errors, but around the same amount, and a second data track that's exactly 11133 sectors.<br /><br />Not sure if Copy Blockbuster is specifically an in-house thing or some protection offered by another company; either way, only these 5 Software 2000 games seem to use it. Brief writeup from a user about how it works (mainly details software side of things, but does describe some relevant stuff for redump) <a href="https://cohost.org/caralynx/post/3055098-drm-exploration-piz">https://cohost.org/caralynx/post/305509 &hellip; ration-piz</a> (IA link if cohost isn't working: <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20241126023224/https://cohost.org/caralynx/post/3055098-drm-exploration-piz">https://web.archive.org/web/20241126023 &hellip; ration-piz</a> ). <br /><br />When I brought them up, MoriGM mentioned that he had Swing Plus, but couldn't submit it to redump due to some descramble errors. Upon DMing him about it, it turns out that DiC 2021, DiC 2024, and redumper all produce different hashes. Despite this, each dumping program is always consistent with itself between dumps. He dumped four different times on redumper and they all matched each other, and did not seem to have C2/read errors. Most notably, his DiC 2021 dump matched the existing dump. He also reports having the exact same ringcode as the existing Swing Plus dump, so it's definitely the same disc. <br /><br />I reached out to the person who wrote that cohost post, and they told me this:<br /></p><blockquote><div class="incqbox"><p>[My version of Pizza Syndicate] is the French version, which I don't think has been catalogued by Redump. I managed to get a Plextor drive a few months later, and in track 2 it's got an invalid MSF and data filled with 0xaa, which is why it couldn't be read out normally.</p></div></blockquote><p>This seems to be consistent with Mori's logs (attached to this post). This also indicates that the existing Pizza Syndicate germany and italy dumps probably also need to be redumped, despite apparently having 0 errors.<br /><br />I understand that it might not be viable to get usurper to redump all of their discs, but at the very least, it would be nice to have a decision so Mori can submit his Swing Plus disc, and also so it can be noted that all the others need redumping.<br /><br />Tl;dr these 5 games use copy protection involving intentional MSF errors and a few other quirks, and it appears that older DiC, newer DiC, and redumper all split them differently, so they all likely need to be redumped, and a decision should be made on how to actually properly split these dumps.<br /><br />(DiC 2024 logs (too large to attach to forum post): <a href="https://mega.nz/file/DA1n2BjB#1h7ftSPCG32RbEGys_PfSh5WI3PnwYEaX8SBpMLeUjY">https://mega.nz/file/DA1n2BjB#1h7ftSPCG &hellip; 8SBpMLeUjY</a> )</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>A handful of dumpers have been having issues specifically with the StarTech board you can grab on Amazon for a bit over $20 - this has a JMB368 controller, but it &quot;should&quot; apply to any given PEX2IDE adapter. Specifically - the adapter seems to be very compatible with any given IDE optical drive you throw at it, but the read/write speeds are &quot;very&quot; poor, similar to PIO4 mode speeds or as if the drive is perpetually stuck in a 2x CD-ROM read speed average regardless of parameters used. <br /><br />Additionally, I had minor stability issues on my setup using a 12th gen Intel CPU/motherboard that also seem to be caused by how this card operates in Windows by default when dumping discs - this also seems to fix those issues if you've had any issues on that end.<br /><br />The &quot;fix&quot; is just manually replacing the generic &quot;Standard Dual Channel IDE Controller&quot; you'll have appear in device manager with an official driver from 2009 (1.17.49.4) - extract the files from the linked cab archive (direct from Microsoft Update Catalog, it's signed/legit etc.) to any given dir and manually update the driver by pathing to the folder with the cat/inf/sys files. <br /><br /><a href="https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=jmb36x">https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.co &hellip; x?q=jmb36x</a><br /><br />The entire set of drivers can be found here - since MS doesn't denote what version or x86/x64 variation as is here's an image for reference.<br /><br /><img class="postimg" src="https://i.imgur.com/2bj8iCY.png" alt="https://i.imgur.com/2bj8iCY.png" /><br /><br />The newer drivers seemingly either fail to install (Device already has best available drivers installed) or simply fails outright. This specific revision for whatever reason replaces the generic one without issue and works as expected. If you want to poke at the later versions, be my guest!<br /><br />Attached a .7z with both x86/x64 drivers included taken from the MS .cab archives if you prefer. Hope this helps anyone wanting to have an internal Plextor/Kreon/whatever in a modern machine without hunting for a SATA model like myself, or did so and has lived the past year with awful read speeds for CD dumping. <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/tongue.png" width="15" height="15" alt="tongue" /></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Not sure why it didn't work with CloneCD, but the ranges are indeed similar to my dump.<br />582160-602479 vs 589712-610143 in your case.<br />After doing that and confirm that it works, you can always try again with CDArchive to get some sectors from the latest one, so from 610143 in reverse.<br />As i said before, you probably won't get that much, if anything at all. <br />As long as the game is tested and can run from the iso file, there's not much else we can do right now. All the ring protection dumps are kind of &quot;best effort&quot; result.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<blockquote><div class="incqbox"><h4>Scirvir wrote:</h4><p>589696.</p></div></blockquote><p>Thanks. Apparently, the file that is covered by that sector is &quot;Filt.ll_&quot;. I could be wrong, tho. Can you add it first in the ReadErrorProtect.txt file, start the dumping process using the flags mentioned earlier and post what message pops up in the console?<br /></p><blockquote><div class="incqbox"><h4>Scirvir wrote:</h4><p>Welp after 3 hours CloneCD just ran thru the disc from 590272 to 3266880 (almost the end of the disc) in just a few minutes, all sectors in between giving read errors.</p></div></blockquote><p>Oh... That seems quite a lot. In this case, I would suggest skipping 1000 sectors (/sk 1000). If I'm not mistaken, once it finds a sector without errors it should go back until it finds a sector that cannot be dumped. Please, post full logs if the file mentioned above was the correct one.</p>]]></description>

That's odd.<br /><br /></p><blockquote><div class="incqbox"><h4>Scirvir wrote:</h4><p>DIC generates image that cant install the game</p></div></blockquote><p>Dumping ringed DVDs with DiscImageCreator is somewhat complex, but feasible in my experience. The method <strong>I personally</strong> use is the following:<br /><br />[list=*]<br />[*]Start a normal dump and stop it once it starts to fail.[/*]<br />[*]Once you get the first LBA with errors (it differs in every disc), you have to find the specific file tied to it.&nbsp; In order to find the appropiate file, you can use the *_volDesc.txt file from your ill-fated DiscImageCreator dump, or use IsoBuster (the free version will work just fine).[/*]<br />[*]Once you find the file, you need to add its name to the &quot;ReadErrorProtect.txt&quot; file. It's very important for the file you think it's the first one to have errors to be first on the list.[/*]<br />[*]Start a new dump with the following flags: /rr X /sf /sk Y. X is the amount of retries (I suggest 20 or 30) you want DiscImageCreator to do before it skips the amount of sectors specified in Y (which should be the amount of sectors you think the ring may cover —which I usually find with CloneCD and Alcohol 120%, which aren't a viable option in this case— plus 100 or more sectors, just to be safe, DiscImageCreator will skip the amount of specified sectors until it finds a good one, then it will read in reverse until it finds another sector which fails the amount of re-reads you've specified and then it will continue reading forward). Once a new dump starts, a message in the console along the lines of &quot;Detected protection [File] LBA * to *&quot; should pop-up. If the first sectors with errors is NOT in that range, you picked the wrong file, and it WILL produce a bad dump.[/*]<br />[/list]<br /><br />I complemented this with a CloneCD dump refined with CDArchive while dumping <a href="http://redump.org/disc/118459/">Patrician III: Imperio de los Mares</a>, with both matching.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I did dump this disc personally. <a href="http://redump.org/disc/61556/">http://redump.org/disc/61556/</a><br />Just use CloneCD with a DVD drive.<br />Remove all the hardware/software correction available in the settings, and also deactivate the fast erroneous sector skipping.<br />It's going to take a few hours. Let it sit there.<br />Then once it's done, try to get the latest few sectors in reverse with CDArchive, following the guide in the wiki page.<br />If you find some more sectors with CDArchive, you can merge those directly to the iso image.<br />In my experience, only 2-3 sectors can be recovered in this way, not that much.<br />CDArchive it's ONLY used to try and get more sectors from the ring(s), not to dump the entire image file!</p>]]></description>

While the multimedia CD contains mini-games, they do not seem to be a significant component of the disc, and are not demos for retail games. This is a border case, but I would suggest it is not eligible. <br /><br />That is not to say all Multimedia CDs are not worth preserving, just that they are outside of the current scope with redump, and not something we have the capacity to process and dat.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I've recently found a Spanish-language edition of the obscure multimedia CD-ROM for Windows 3.x by Epic Multimedia &amp; Time Warner Interactive based on <em>Thumbelina</em> (more specifically the 1994 Don Bluth film). It features the cast of <a href="https://doblaje.fandom.com/es/wiki/Pulgarcita">the Latin American Spanish dub of the actual film</a>, but the songs are only in English for some reason.<br />It has three games, a painting game [krnl386_001.png] (after you finish painting the illustration, you can see it moving), a word association game [krnl386_005.png] (you are given some words describing things in a picture, and you have to drag them so they point to the right place), and a very basic puzzle [krnl386_007.png]. Not all pages are interactive. It's very similar in structure to the <em>Living Books</em> series, but with even less interactivity.<br /><br />Here's footage of the English version of this CD-ROM:<br /><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrZ3Pn92wBY">https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hrZ3Pn92wBY</a><br /><br />And here's a picture of the disc label of the American release:<br /><a href="https://www.deviantart.com/mileymouse101/art/Thumbelina-CD-Rom-614433875">https://www.deviantart.com/mileymouse10 &hellip; -614433875</a><br /><br />It should be noted than this Spanish release has the same serial number but with a &quot;-SA&quot; suffix, which likely indicates a South American release.<br /><br />It's apparently identical in content to the Philips CD-i disc that can be found in the database <a href="http://redump.org/disc/52438/">here</a>, if the sources I've found are accurate. I doubt this is relevant, but I felt it was at least worth mentioning it.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I disabled logging and it seems to be running now? I'm really not sure. Gonna check the checksums when it's done.<br /><br /><br />update:<br />two discs dumped with matching checksums from redump. Trying SFIV right now and it gave me the bad sector error which is either because I bumped the drive or this security thing I read about. I think I've got it running. very finicky software and hardware though.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I just purchased both a BenQ and a X360USBPro2. I've been following the guides (I think successfully) to get 0800 firmware installed using jungleflasher and it is now showing up as an active drive. <br /><br />Inside the software. it can detect the game data and I can even view folders. But the problem is when I start a backup it will go for a second or so and then CTD with no messages in log. The log actually cuts itself off. <br /><br />I'm using Win10 if that might affect it. I've tried multiple compatibility modes, but it doesn't change anything.<br /><br />Anyone happen to know what might cause this?<br /><br />edit: one other thing is that XBC says &quot;This is not a true 1 to 1 copy&quot;, but when I look into the Read Me I don't exactly see why this is. I'm not even sure this is an issue as I can't even get more than a 200kb dump off the disc.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi DeMoya, welcome.<br /><br />Cheat discs are classified as &quot;unlicensed&quot; and are allowed to be added to Redump. Action Replay is a popular series for example that we have many dumps for. These tend to be indigo bottom discs (for ps2). Some&nbsp; Black Bottom PS2 cheat discs have more complicated protection that Redump does not support (but worth a try dumping anyway). I don't know of any Russian produced PS2 cheat discs, but examples for PS1 are Game Guru and Vzlomschik Kodov 9000.<br /><br />Russian pressed unofficial discs fall into multiple categories.<br />-First off, if it's an unofficial repress of a retail game, it is not eligible.<br />-If it's an unofficial port or a game not originally released on PS2 it is eligible, example <a href="http://redump.org/disc/30402/">http://redump.org/disc/30402/</a><br />-If it is a beta build with no other known origin, it is eligible for Redump.<br /><br />If you have any doubt for specific titles please post them on the Dumps forums with pics or scans and we can look into it.<br /><br />Thank you and glad to see you have some nice rarities to dump!! Looking forward to the cheat discs &amp; demos.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,<br /><br />Some times ago, I submitted a &quot;game/music&quot; software named &quot;eJay Rave 2&quot;.<br />I know that this kind of software is not in the scope of Redump, but I would like to keep a functionnal personnal backup of this disc.<br /><br />(Discarded dump link : <a href="http://forum.redump.org/topic/57900/rave-2-ejay/">http://forum.redump.org/topic/57900/rave-2-ejay/</a>)<br /><br />I've noticed that sometimes, when a game is added to the Redump Library, the &quot;cue&quot; file is different from the on generated by MPF, the &quot;MODE&quot; in particular.<br /><br />Here is the one generated for &quot;eJay Rave 2&quot; :<br /><br /></p><div class="codebox"><div class="incqbox"><h4>Code:</h4><div class="scrollbox" style="height: 9em"><pre>FILE &quot;RAVE_EJAY2.bin&quot; BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
</pre></div></div></div><p>So, here is my question : Does the &quot;cue&quot; file content seems correct to you ? (Particularly the &quot;MODE&quot; ?)<br /><br />If someone would be kind enough to help me, here are the logs : <a href="https://mega.nz/file/pa41TbgJ#OyTf8LLsEefgSoeYFpHURn9ide9F_G1_MDVt9RKp4lM">https://mega.nz/file/pa41TbgJ#OyTf8LLsE &hellip; DVt9RKp4lM</a></p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Good night.<br />Let me introduce myself, I'm De Moya, and I'm new to Redump.<br />I have spoken with my Spanish colleagues AlMagno and Diego to get started in the dumping process.<br />I have a collection of more than 3,500 physical games, of which 2,400 are PS2.<br />In some cases, I have some discs (Demos) that have not been dumped, so as soon as I finish doing the review of PS2 dumps that I am doing to prepare a list of necessary dumps and confirmations within PS2, I will get to dump like crazy.<br />But I have a series of doubts.<br />In my collection I have several Russian Bootlegs, which were created with industrial machinery, despite not being official Sony products.<br />I have seen that several programs and discs that are not official, and that are modifications of original Sony software, such as Cheats Discs, have been included in the PS Software lists.<br />My question is: In cases of having an industrial, Russian bootleg (not a pirated copy recorded at home)<br />Do I dump these games? Will they be accepted? What are the criteria for these cases?<br /><br />Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your responses.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I am ashamed to say this, but until I read <a href="http://forum.redump.org/post/98817/#p98817">this post</a>, I thought that CDArchive was to be used on its own to dump ring-protected DVD games, given that it is the only program mentioned in the <a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Ringed_Disc_Dumping_Guide#DVD-ROM_Dumping">DVD section</a> of the article.<br />I dumped Patrician III: El imperio de los mares with CloneCD and DiscImageCreator, and in general terms the range of the ring seems to cover the sectors 478738-508447.<br />The original CloneCD image did not have anything between the sectors 478720-478737 and 508448-508480. I got the missing sectors with CDArchive that will be attached to this post. DiscImageCreator did obtain data for those sectors, however. Should I re-read the 478738-508447 sectors? How many retries should I do?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>So, if I understand well :<br /><br />First Error Count includes discs DRM protection, that is to say errors caused by copy protection voluntary defective sectors<br />Second Error Count includes physical unabilities to read sectors, which probably implies &quot;defective&quot; or scratched discs<br /><br />Thanks for your clarification Lugamo !</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>If I'm not mistaken, the second one (which is exclusive to Redumper CD dumps) is meant to be useful for Redump mods because it counts the C2 errors a dump has that are not part of a copy protection. <a href="https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/issues/666">Here's the GitHub issue</a> that caused that addition.</p>]]></description>

I settled for 3 retries, which I hope is enough. So far, the last sector re-read (in reverse) was 486603, once I'm done I'm submitting the dump.</p>]]></description>

Given that a Mould SID appears in the scan of the second disc (IFPI 07S4), but not the first one, I'm going to suppose that it does not have it, which is also the case of another disc already present in the database.<br /><br />Just in case, this disc is a verification of <a href="http://redump.org/disc/38141/">this entry</a>, and once you're ready to submit it, you should do so via the Verifications forum, linking the entry with which your disc image matches.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hello world!<br /><br />I am new to dumping and I am right now practising with trying to back up my original bought PC games, which are in varying states of destruction and/or even missing CD and DVD disks. While I am unsure wether dumping these would help anyone else I would like to at least have them as finished as possible for my own records.<br /><br />I have found the Ring code guide and after reading it am still unsure of what goes where. There are a lot of numbers and barcodes in all the places. <br /><br />Maybe someone would like to take the time to walk me through this patiently?<br /><br />Currently working on:<br />Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell 1 to 4 from Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Complete (Europe) <br /><br />!!!Warning: large (100+ MB) images!!!<br />Download link for the following images:<br /><a href="https://drive.proton.me/urls/VV2YBAM7XW#tntvDubott5R">https://drive.proton.me/urls/VV2YBAM7XW#tntvDubott5R</a><br />Scan Cover<br /><img class="postimg" src="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=nF6JXfGcZ_sgbelHCSkkzV5JfJDTvqitlXZ39HFGiLx6K77NsB7AAMibGDYay.yLtKikvueCzDGU0vd255xOGCDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;w=1024&amp;h=1024&amp;m=cropped" alt="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=nF6JXfGcZ_sgbelHCSkkzV5JfJDTvqitlXZ39HFGiLx6K77NsB7AAMibGDYay.yLtKikvueCzDGU0vd255xOGCDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;amp;w=1024&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;m=cropped" /><br /><br />Scan manual (serial codes)<br /><img class="postimg" src="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=u.dz355BnLVLu29gPrJdnTtSZifAl3zrr2a.E3SlEKfYW3uoWRxDp4b7RPVjFgc05VKshd7q5OZrhXh3Ni_ZkiDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;w=1024&amp;h=1024&amp;m=cropped" alt="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=u.dz355BnLVLu29gPrJdnTtSZifAl3zrr2a.E3SlEKfYW3uoWRxDp4b7RPVjFgc05VKshd7q5OZrhXh3Ni_ZkiDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;amp;w=1024&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;m=cropped" /><br /><br />Scan of Disk 1 and Disk 2 front:<br /><img class="postimg" src="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=C0ShxYiI7eOiJ_FLH2Z_i2_sVlJrpBt1yssOT0PNs5eXmP7Hb.S9qro0Fcpy9vWbDj3Ju_4cRSVKJKID5A8JjyDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;w=1024&amp;h=1024&amp;m=cropped" alt="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=C0ShxYiI7eOiJ_FLH2Z_i2_sVlJrpBt1yssOT0PNs5eXmP7Hb.S9qro0Fcpy9vWbDj3Ju_4cRSVKJKID5A8JjyDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;amp;w=1024&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;m=cropped" /><br /><br /><br />Scan of Disk 1 and Disk 2&nbsp; back:<br /><img class="postimg" src="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=5i2cNUKtHCsRtbY6ZE1MUP20KG.OMiW6fYfYkbhq7brri0YJFX3X_W4eIF6yDmqitz8A0Lz4_FxFkkbDA466JiDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;w=1024&amp;h=1024&amp;m=cropped" alt="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=5i2cNUKtHCsRtbY6ZE1MUP20KG.OMiW6fYfYkbhq7brri0YJFX3X_W4eIF6yDmqitz8A0Lz4_FxFkkbDA466JiDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;amp;w=1024&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;m=cropped" /><br /><br />Scan of Disk 3 and Disk 4 front:<br /><img class="postimg" src="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=QuzUy4SKq9eKQEVqt77MYffBBO6lkqFt6zMJ2Ct7AmGqeerlDGvR30Wqz.EPYKsuktktRuH92TmKq5mMwWOCMSDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;w=1024&amp;h=1024&amp;m=cropped" alt="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=QuzUy4SKq9eKQEVqt77MYffBBO6lkqFt6zMJ2Ct7AmGqeerlDGvR30Wqz.EPYKsuktktRuH92TmKq5mMwWOCMSDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;amp;w=1024&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;m=cropped" /><br /><br />Scan of Disk 3 and Disk 4&nbsp; back:<br /><img class="postimg" src="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=Bhdp0s3dSxLKHQs2VO.4iTNYhtW5yYW08pPZT2RKChyNjKaaes6HZguQbBhnz1N0Q7uG_foo09BCZtEP7be_ISDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;w=1024&amp;h=1024&amp;m=cropped" alt="https://icecube-eu-406.icedrive.io/thumbnail?p=Bhdp0s3dSxLKHQs2VO.4iTNYhtW5yYW08pPZT2RKChyNjKaaes6HZguQbBhnz1N0Q7uG_foo09BCZtEP7be_ISDlyLGz8uHpUKktTHrYuxDcvWGcR3uOixMrcrnaAhj6Y2SKApj8zCyvI7Pp4HqeeQ--&amp;amp;w=1024&amp;amp;h=1024&amp;amp;m=cropped" /><br /><br />Currently the !submissionInfo of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell (Disk 1 of Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell Complete) is looking like this:<br /><br /></p><div class="codebox"><div class="incqbox"><h4>Code:</h4><div class="scrollbox" style="height: 35em"><pre>Users who wish to submit this information to Redump must ensure that all of the fields below are accurate for the exact media they have.

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Unfortunately, I couldn't get a complete dump using the audio trap disc method. However, another Redump member contacted me and informed me that they own an ASUS drive and know someone who has this disc and can lend it to them. So, this disc will be dumped in the future.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I gave this a try on a couple of drives I have. I have two Optiarc drives, so I include both of them.<br /><br />I was also trying this on my LG GH22LS30. Turns out I killed it. It got stuck at the first bruteforce stage, so I powercycled it mid-run. Which was a bad idea. The drive started to rapidly bang it's head against whatever wall is in the drive and refuses to read any disc since then, no matter if it is a DVD or a CD.<br /><br />Well, at least I can say it died for science.</p>]]></description>

</pre></div></div></div><p>from splitting with `--force-qtoc`. As far as I understand, this is just down to how some drives handle TOC reading (although I'm sure CDS specifically is manipulating things), there was one non-protected disc for non-game I had a similar issue with, and bikerspade has mentioned something similar happening on his 5224.<br /><br />TL;DR: For this Cactus Data Shield protected disc (and any others that might suffer similar issues, CDS varies quite a bit between versions), is it okay for me to submit via dumps run with `--force-qtoc`? It seems to produce the correct output. I apologize if there's already a verdict on these kinds of issues, but as mentioned, I've only ever ran into this sort of thing one time before.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I'm looking to acquire some additional IDE to USB adapters. I've got one that works nicely with the old Plextor drives already. I've got a second one that uses the recommended chipset (Innostar IS611), but the SATA connector on the side of that adapter partially blocks the molex power connector on my Plextor drives. Thus, I have no way of powering the Plextor when the adapter is connected.<br /><br />In my process of deciding which adapter to buy next, I noticed that several of the recommended adapters (on the Redump Wiki) seem to have the exact same PCB layout as my IS611-based unit that blocks the molex connector. For example, the Kingwin USB-DSC9 seems like it would have the same issue. The IDE key notch is on top, which will put the SATA connector on the right hand side of the drive, blocking the molex connector (which sits immediately to the right of the IDE connector on many of the old Plextor units).<br /><br />How are others making use of these style adaptors? Will right-angle molex adapters fit between the adapter body and the drive? Or maybe it's possible to use a short special IDE cable to space the adapter from the drive? Or am I just missing something and there's a way to get the molex to plug it without any trickery?<br /><br />Thanks!</p>]]></description>
