here is some crc32 check / then check if new disc or verify disc from redump...

import requests
import zlib
from bs4 import BeautifulSoup

#fn needs to be set from GUI

buffersize = 65536

with open(fn, 'rb') as afile:
    buffr = afile.read(buffersize)
    crcvalue = 0
    while len(buffr) > 0:
        crcvalue = zlib.crc32(buffr, crcvalue)
        buffr = afile.read(buffersize)

crc = (format(crcvalue & 0xFFFFFFFF, '08x'))
#print (crc)

url1 = "http://redump.org/discs/quicksearch/"
r = requests.get(url1 + crc)
r.encoding = 'utf-8'
soup = BeautifulSoup(r.text, 'html.parser')
soup2 = soup.find_all('title')
soup3 = [e.get_text() for e in soup2]
if str('Discs') in str(soup3):
    print ("This disc is a new entry to Redump DB!")
else:
    print ("This disc can be used to verify a Redump DB entry")

Thank you!

It's already on github but the code is quite terrible as I'm a horrible coder and have so little time to work on it right now.

The flag system info is very useful, thanks.

Oh, cool it's python. Good work! I started knocking one up in Vb.net as I thought this project might be dead, but I think having sourcecode on git will lead to some collaboration. My vb.net version didn't have profiles yet, so it was pretty trashy

i was thinking it might be cool to get crc after dump, then scrape redump search page to see if unique or verify, then make that visible in UI - but feature creep can be a trap!

Just to give a quick update. I've been working some on the GUI but I have very limited time to do so

Not sure, how I missed this post. You're doing fantastic work. I messaged you about the flagging system in case it's useful.

Would you be willing to publish this to github or somewhere similar?

It works, you can dump discs with it and it supports various profiles. But it still has some bugs and missing features and needs some more work.

No problem with the command line at all (as old AMIGA fan), but for the lazy ones among us (ME! ).

Just making a gui shouldn't be much too hard to make. I'll see if I can get something done.

Awesome, best of luck. This will make life a lot easier for a good of good, common folk.

Until a gui is created these templates could be used to create batch files.

Here's hoping someone will work on this soon

Well here it is folks! Or here it can be, I should say. The GUI is simple, effective, and can do everything necessary that the DIC command line can.

Notes:
* Disc Type: This will call certain functions depending on the disc. For example, for PS1 it should also call psxt001z and edccchk and spit out logs for them.
* Command Prompt would serve as a status window similar to how DVD Decrypter displays what is going on.
* The copy buttons would copy all the necessary info from the dats to clipboard where it can easily be copied into the New Disc.

Will it get made?
The truth is those with the ability to code this are least in need of it. Over the past few months I've brought contributers into redump and even moreso than buying a Plextor, they have distaste or inability for using the command line. Hell, even I stopped contributing to redump for 5+ years due to the switch to DIC. After using DIC I realized how GREAT an app it is... but the CLI is a complete insta-No for some people. I don't know how to code, and I don't know how difficult or easy it would be. So I'm putting it here as a proposal, I hope somebody or somebodies is able to take this to the next step.
