Normally serial is on cd case or box.
About Clrmame you have to use only dir2dat internal util enabling MD5 and SHA (disabling all the rest)  and scanning directory to make a dat.

If your CD has wo = +22, audio tracks will be shifted of 22 samples backward (data starts 22 sample before, it's the opposite), first data track start always after 2.00 sec (with probaly a few exceptions).

And if not where can i find the first one? So except that and the cue it msised nothing in my infos?

and i don't use Clrmamepro since i don't like it, i always used Romcenter for my roms collection wink

For the read/offset values i was asking at what it correspond physically on the cd and for the driver (like +22 will mean cd started to have infos 22 offsets after the normal start of the cd,....?)

PS: fucking ring code, i have to use a mirror since the up side is printed

Quake got audio tracks so after resize correct dump that match the one above and audios matches too with the -22 i found with IB (so +80 in EAC options with my +102 value of my driveoffset value)
Doom din't have any audio tracks so match the dump above directly.

You have to post all datas about your dumps (crc dat, cue file and infos about CD) otherwise it's impossible to guess.
For a dump already in DB open a post in dump forums with all data or add data in wip (add new disk).

When i inserted quake Cd, EAC told me i can use this disc with accurate rip, i said ok and so after the check he automatically checked "Use AccurateRIP with this drive " in Drive Options (F10), and with this checked the dumped audio tracks werent matching the db. So i suppose this is normal just a feature that don't really work today, isn't it?

Never answer yes to that question as it may change some settings in EAC. probably now you'll have to configure properly again EAC.

The second one will be just for infos, what are exactly the read and write offset value? (i have a little glimp of it but would like to be sure)

Write offset is offset used for mastering CD by manufacturer, so dumping a game this way you'll have properly preserved a game.
Read offset is only needed for your drive to calculate real write offset.
In EAC you don't have to change write offset value.

PS: By the way when will be my previous dumps added in the db?

You have to add necessary infos in dumps you posted, as I said above, otherwise they cannot be added. Sometimes you have to wait some days for that anyway. Post also your matching dumps information so you can confirm you are doing it right, thanks!:)

In order to be totally sure i found some cds that i got which are already in the db: Quake (http://redump.org/disc/2251/) and the ultimate doom - the flesh consumed  (http://redump.org/disc/4426/) and so it works.
Quake got audio tracks so after resize correct dump that match the one above and audios matches too with the -22 i found with IB (so +80 in EAC options with my +102 value of my driveoffset value)
Doom din't have any audio tracks so match the dump above directly.

But i have some other questions now wink
When i inserted quake Cd, EAC told me i can use this disc with accurate rip, i said ok and so after the check he automatically checked "Use AccurateRIP with this drive " in Drive Options (F10), and with this checked the dumped audio tracks werent matching the db. So i suppose this is normal just a feature that don't really work today, isn't it?

For your first sentence we came back on the same problem: i understand what u said (specially since it's what i rode in the guide) but i m confused about the sector size. I understood IB can't detect start of audio and it's why we have to remove but what i don't udnerstand is that my data track as a equivalent sector size after remove = to the one said by IB So the bug only happend while ripping? or IB had 150 sectors before the data track when ripping?

IB has a bug and appends track02 pregap to end of track01 (those 150 sectors are pregap of following track, this is why you have to cut data track).
It's normal that you don't see sector headers under IB.

If your game is protected you have to know what kind of protection it has.

1) If it's a sample .exe protection you can dump your CD and then if you want to play it from backup you can use the crack as always.

2) If it's Safedisc, look and redump as said here ---> http://forum.redump.org/viewtopic.php?id=2201

3) If it's a newer protection (I don't think so) your dump is vain because Redump has not yet added subchannels to DB.

PS: Moto Racer PC seems to have CD Check protection (simply requires CD o be inserted), so it's a simple protection and can be dumped normal way.

For the freeze i will take the example of this fun tracks release:
IB says Track starts at 24 957
24 957- 149 = 24 808
and it don't load sector view when i try sector 24 806

I must admit i'm completely lost with these sectors and hex editor thing wink
For example i don't udnerstand why HxD put yyyy in right column for FFF and not sector viexw in IB

Why there re these FFF and 3F 13 B0 BE at the very end of the file i sent you while i see nothing in sector viex from IB?

And why if as u say the driver freeze between audio and data track it happens at this sector since there are 150 other sectors before the end of the data track

Finally where are the gaps? at the start of every track file or at the end?

For other releases if EAc don't detect me strange gaps i suppose all my dumps will be good if the sector size said by IB = the sector size of the file said by cd mage?

And last one not related to this. By doing a image with protection like this will it be possible to play it without a crack (like if i made the image with clone cd?)

But so if my dump is ok i suppose it's the same for Moto Racer and i'm quiet happy i can continue without loosing lot of times editing bins. So i just loose some hours for no problem wink

Try as explained in the guide, go before back of "pregap - 1 sector" (ex: 150 - 1 -> 149) and than go back of last one.
If there's nothing else then cd-drive freezing is not an interesting error *. Don't worry dump your game.

*

Some drivers cannot read sectors between data and audio tracks and freeze

Cannot read this data within IB and other sector viewer programs.

Hope we will have finish soon, i can't scan and dump over games while i look for this.

So this error can be interesting since it's just one sector before the "end of data track sector said by IB -150 on Fun Tracks and on Moto Racer too

Some drivers cannot read sectors between data and audio tracks and freeze, but in the case of my thread is probably a mastering error that is the cause of wrong pregap detection.

Use remove (http://forum.redump.org/viewtopic.php?id=2559) on your resized track with following command remove -Size=375sec "track 01.bin" end_of_track.bin (backup track before this operation) then upload "end_of_track" somewhere so we can check this last 4-5 seconds you are talking about.

Here my data track is as secors as IB say it.
Maybe u can download my iso on underground gamer (or i can send it to u) in order to tell me if it's good or not

About your questions: EAC pregap detection is not always right (I posted a thread in dump section right now about a similar problem), when you look into IB to see offset correction you have to understand also if EAC pregap is right. A clue, as I undestand, is the syncronization of 2352 data format headers (the row you find at the beginning of every 2352 sector .ÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿÿ.....). If this row is shifted ** so this is data that has to be moved on first audio track, instead if this row is regular this sector is part of data track (if under IB you find a row where EAC indicates start of pregap, you have to move forward 1 sector, so if EAC says 2.00 seconds you have to set 1.74 and obviously you have to cut track01 of 350448 instead of 352800).

** shifted row

I hope to have explained it right.

I got the same CRC. So i suppose my dump is ok.

I just noticed something. Method A for gap detection is really fast on the laptop but longer on my LG drive; it s very long for the first audio track and after same speed as the laptop for the other tracks. Is it normal?
I tried method C: don't work freezes on a track and method B: gives really strang gap 0,16; 0,4; ...  and don't correspond to what detect my laptop or method A on my LG drive. I keep method A?
