Padding the bad blocks with zeroes or with 0x55 or something else?

Because reading error occurred out of the ss range.

Forgot to show you the logs back then. It works (though, the SS ranges are unstable), but for some reason the dump itself always has different sizes, why?

donde ss.bin es un dump en bruto (2064 bytes) del PSN 0xFD021E

I googled '0xFD021E', and it seems this value is correct, not '0xFD21E'.
'0xFD021E' is the lead-out area of layer 1.

We may get the ss.bin by xbox raw dumping without kreon drive... I'll try it.

Yeah I guess we never tried that before.. Can PSN 0xFD021E be approached as a sector number?

Yes. if reading error occurs out of the ss ranges, its sector is bad.

Requiring manual input of ss ranges is silly

I think so too. Btw I found this https://web.archive.org/web/20081221213 … ng_pref=en

- added: /nss flag in xbox, xboxswap and xgd2swap

DiscImageCreator.exe xbox <drive> <filename> <speed> /nss 10
'10' is a max rereading value per sector
DiscImageCreator.exe xbox <drive> <filename> <speed> /nss
If value is omitted, '100' is set automatically.

I've not tested yet xboxswap and xgd2swap
Give me a comment, plz.

Did a first test on Kreon drive today with CloneCD. It would skip through the first couple error sectors, but would stop reading and start making noises as soon as it reached the first ring. So a different drive or custom tools would be needed to dump this data. Will try some other drives later with disc swap.

I'd recommend to try IsoBuster to manually find the truly unreadable ranges and to dump everything else skipping those sections. The logic is described above (to skip around 300 sectors after the first 1-2 unreadable ones, then to search for the first readable one after the skipped ones).
