			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Bumping this thread because I&#039;m having the same problem with three internal Sega discs that I am trying to dump for Redump.<br />ice.exe is bugged and won&#039;t work for some discs.</p><p>I&#039;m going to reference these discs at Dumpcast (I am the owner of the Dumpcast site btw). <br /><a href="http://dcemulation.org/dumpcast/viewtopic.php?p=3851#p3851">System Disc 2</a><br /><a href="http://dcemulation.org/dumpcast/viewtopic.php?p=4544#p4544">GD Drive Repair Program</a><br /><a href="http://dcemulation.org/dumpcast/viewtopic.php?p=4543#p4543">DC Checker for Repair</a></p><p>The problem here is that ice.exe is expecting a 4-digit hex value in the IP.BIN header at 0x30 in the descrambled dump. This hex value is a checksum of other fields within the header. On this Virtua Fighter 3tb disc and others, including mine (and other discs I don&#039;t possess undumped by Redump like <a href="http://dcemulation.org/dumpcast/viewtopic.php?f=6&amp;t=1605&amp;p=3673">this DC Checker for MP</a>), at 0x30 is the text &quot;SEGA&quot; or &quot;SEGAS&quot; -- which is not a hex value. Instead of failing gracefully, ice.exe crashes before descrambling the dump.</p><p>I downloaded DiscImageCreator to use that instead but the unfortunately the functionality to descramble discs dumped by dcdumper has been taken out at some point. The old builds that do have this functionality are not on the DIC github. </p><p>Fortunately there was a mediafire link to an old version left over in that thread. I am attaching that file to this post.</p><p>In order to use, do:<br />DiscImageCreator.exe -dec dense.bin &lt;LBA&gt;<br />which will spit out a &quot;dense.dec&quot; file.<br />for example:<br /></p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>c:\Users\darc\Desktop\gdroms\VGPC GD-Rom Dumping Kit&gt;DiscImageCreator.exe -dec dense.bin 44990
DiscImageCreator BuildDate:[Jul  7 2012 00:01:08]
Start-&gt;Sun 2019-05-05 11:36:54 Central Daylight Time
Descrambling File(size) 1185760800/1185763076
End-&gt;Sun 2019-05-05 11:37:29 Central Daylight Time</code></pre></div><p>And if the HD section contains CDDA, also do:<br />DiscImageCreator.exe -split dense.dec<br />for example:<br /></p><div class="codebox"><pre><code>c:\Users\darc\Desktop\gdroms\VGPC GD-Rom Dumping Kit&gt;DiscImageCreator.exe -split dense.dec
DiscImageCreator BuildDate:[Jul  7 2012 00:01:08]
Start-&gt;Sun 2019-05-05 11:39:24 Central Daylight Time
Split File(num)  6/ 6End-&gt;Sun 2019-05-05 11:39:33 Central Daylight Time</code></pre></div><p>This should spit out your split separate track files.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Thanks both of you for the help. It extracted fine with saramis tool.</p><p>My Virtua Fighter 3tb v1.000 it matches the dumpcast dump. Good.</p><p>I also have another copy of this yet to be cleaned, its badly scratched but cleaning is sometimes difficult with really scratched discs, never the less I will atempt the clean and dump, with a bit of luck it may even be the v1.003 disc would be really nice if it was, and both came with the project berkley disc <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /> which will hopefully dump, but at the moment isn&#039;t playing ball, it has a teenie weenie scratch on it thats giving a read error.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Could you try deleting the useless data before the beggining of data track, using a hex editor? The first sector of data track contains this header 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 11 82 00 61 (scrambled) or 00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 10 02 00 01 (unscrambled). But remember the exact amount of deleted bytes, so that write offset can be determinated.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>As workaround, you can download <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/?c8qcqpc9s668p14">this file</a> (you need the ecma program to unpack it, see the themabus&#039; signature), dummy data which fills the 0,45000 gap. Then, copy /b dummy.bin+[your dump] [final file]. CDMage will be able to open the final file and scan for corruption, assuming that there are no audio tracks.</p><p>And if I were you, I would report this error to themabus, who developed the ice.exe app.</p>]]></content>

			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Sorry about that I guess you could be right maybe saramis tool can extract the dense.bin, my apologies <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>But I would like to extract it with ice.exe if poss, as thats the norm, and we need to view the ice log to see if their were any errors, which is quite important, I don&#039;t know if saramis tool reports errors if present when descrambling the dense.bin.</p>]]></content>
