Then fixed it with psxt001z

psxt001z by Dremora, v0.20 beta 13 "LibCrypt"

File: 1.bin
Size (bytes):   729736224 (OK)

Checking data...

Checking postgap...
Postgap type: Form 2

00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF FF 00 ?? ?? ?? ??
first 12 bytes is sync - afaik it's always the same
next 3 is MSF (sector address)
Minutes
Seconds (0..59)
Frames (0..74)
MSF is in BCD format - if you're 24:56:74 in cd you will see exact values in hex editor (not 18 38 4A)
last byte is Mode. it should be 00 in this case.
(you can find this information in ECMA-130 btw)
and good guess is: last sector from that broken image you have is also filled with 00, so you just append it once
more to have a correct image size and then adjust MSF field with an hex editor (eg. 24 56 74 -> 24 57 00)

I found an image that is correct and compared it to one that was missing 2352 bytes.
The bytes were missing at the end.

This is what they contained

The oi is the part that 'counts up'. Should be possible to make an auto fix for these kind of errors no?

The first number is actual file size, the second is taken from the sector 16.

With psxt001z I get the following

File: nfs r+t.bin

From image:     272170

Strangely enough it says filesize 640141488 (which is the actual size)
But at "From Image" it says 640143840 (wich is the correct dump size)

Any suggestions?
