Result:
----
GCC-4160N, GCC-4240N, GDR8160B and GDR-T10N is supported 0xe7 but can't dump gc/wii disc using FriiDump.
GSA-H53L has MN103SC7GRT1 and doesn't support 0xe7, but 0x3c(general memdump command) supports.
GWA-4164B has MN103SA6GSJ and ditto.
GWA-4162B (MN103S86GSG) and GH22NP20 (MN103SD8GRA) is ditto.
GSA-H20, 22 ,30 is probably ditto.
MATSHITA DVD-RAM UJ875AS has MN103SC8GRB2 and doesn't support 0xe7 and 0x3c
MATSHITA UJDA770 DVD/CDRW has MN103SD4GKGB and ditto.

Re: FriiDump 0.5.3 Source Code [Update: Linux build!]

I've got one of the ODDs that you have mentioned (HL-DT-ST RW/DVD GCC-4241N 0C29).
Let me test all the commands in FriiDump using that ODD and GC/Wii discs

1. According to hitachi.c of friidump, MN103S microcontroller is required to dump a wii disc.

/*! \file
 * \brief Memory dump functions specific to drives based on the Hitachi MN103 chip.
 *
 * Drives which are supported by this set of functions are, for instance, the LG GDR-8161B, GDR-8162B, GDR-8163B and GDR-8164B. All testing has been performed
 * with the latter model, so I'm not really sure about the others, but they should work ;). Please report any issues and more compatible drives!
 *
 * This file contains code derived from the work of Kevin East (SeventhSon), kev@kev.nu, http://www.kev.nu/360/ , which, in turn, derives from work by
 * a lot of other people. See his page for full details.
 */

These drives can use a vendor specific command.

        mmc.cmd[0] = 0xE7; // vendor specific command (discovered by DaveX)
        mmc.cmd[1] = 0x48; // H
        mmc.cmd[2] = 0x49; // I
        mmc.cmd[3] = 0x54; // T
        mmc.cmd[4] = 0x01; // read MCU memory sub-command
        mmc.cmd[6] = (unsigned char) ((offset & 0xFF000000) >> 24);    // address MSB
        mmc.cmd[7] = (unsigned char) ((offset & 0x00FF0000) >> 16);    // address
        mmc.cmd[8] = (unsigned char) ((offset & 0x0000FF00) >> 8);    // address
        mmc.cmd[9] = (unsigned char) (offset & 0x000000FF);        // address LSB
        mmc.cmd[10] = (unsigned char) ((block_size & 0xFF00) >> 8);    // length MSB
        mmc.cmd[11] = (unsigned char) (block_size & 0x00FF);        // length LSB

2. I searched and found the spec of LG drive.
[1] https://www.manualslib.com/brand/lg/dvd-drive.html
[2] https://www.manualslib.com/brand/lg/cd-cdr-drive.html
[3] https://forum.cdrinfo.pl/attachments/f1 … e_v1.1.pdf

According to my drive, GDR-8160B has MN103S26E, GDR-8163B has MN103S89FDA, GCC-4241N has MN103S63GHA
According to [1], GDR-8161B has MN103S37F
According to [2], GCC-4241N and GCC-4242N have MN103S63GKD.
According to [3], MN103S is mainly used by GWA-xxxxB, GSA-Hxx and GHxx.

From these, MN103S microcontroller has +102 offsets.

Question:
Do all this microcontroller have vendor specific command? If these drive have this command, can these dump a wii disc?

If it is interesting for anyone, I've modified this source to add an option to test all possible command/methods combinations on a single pass, and stop on the working one. For me it takes about 7 minutes if it fails, 50 different combinations, ~6hrs. of background unattended work You can download it on http://www.mediafire.com/download/ppz28 … .5.3.1.zip

Hi all, señores, señoras, caballeros y damiselas en apuros

I've just found this tool and compiled it for Linux/x86.

At first tested with a GDR8164B/0L06 (white bezel) it didn't work at all, nor with normal DVDs nor with a WOD.

Then with another GDR8164B/0L06 (black bezel) it is currently working at method 9 for ~950Mb/h.

This tool would be great if enhanced to support CDs and multi-track.

hola, senoras y senores

been away for a summer (mmmm, sweet summer of leisure and love...)
for which i do not apologize at all, heh

BruteForce3C sends ReadBuffer (0x3C) command, as described in 'SCSI Primary Commands - 3 (SPC-3)'
to a specified drive
incrementally going through values 0x00..0xff for byte 1 and 2
checksum is calculated on returned data and if it's different from a checksum of zero-filled data,
buffer is logged to file for further examination
if at all, usually vanilla command 3c 02 00 would work (byte 1 : 02h - Data)
for MediaTek based Lite-Ons it's 3c 01 01 (byte 1: 01h - Vendor specific) for buffer;
3c 01 02 / 3c 01 e2 for EEPROM;
3c 01 f1 for KEYPARA
and buffer size is limited for LO
i've seen other custom commands, beside LO, but none that would return usable buffer data
other parameters might be custom too
and there might be completely custom commands, not based on ReadBuffer
in such cases this program will not help
you could try to determine it by other means (on forums, sources of programs for specific drives, disasm fw and such)

IDE2USB shouldn't matter

numbers at the end of execution are just timing

Hi,

Is anyone else having trouble building friidump on 64-bit x86/Linux? For both the original 0.3.0 release and 0.5.3, it seems to build okay, but the program writes the first sector data (2048 or 2064 bytes depending on ISO/raw setting), then gives a segmentation fault like this:

...
Disc type..........: GameCube
Game ID............: M8
Region.............: Europe/PAL
Maker..............: 01 (Nintendo)
Version............: 1.00
Game title.........: Metroid Prime

Writing to file "test.raw" in raw format
Writing to file "test.iso" in ISO format

Segmentation fault

Hello all, new guy here.

I'm interested in Friidump, which is why I'm in this thread.

I have downloaded the source to Friidump 5.3, and have it running on windows under VS2010. I'm learning!

But I am unsure of two things, and any help would be appreciated.

1. There is a program called BruteForce3C included with Friidump. According to the text file, when I run it, it will interrogate the target drive to determine if it has READ BUFFER capabilities. The text says that "all returned data different from $00 will be logged to files." Has anyone done this? When I run it, I don't get any files created, at least not in the same directory from which I launch it. However, I DO get a set of numbers, like 141.712. If I run it again, I get 135.985. What do these numbers mean? Do they have any significance, or should I only be concentrating on the fact that there is no file created?

2. The target drive data is
a) H-L Data Storage
b) V/M: HLGDR-816B
c) DVD-ROM Drive
d) Model GDR-8161B
e) Type HDCO
f) Drive Rev A2
g) FW 0045
h) In the "MFC" section:
DVD-ROM DRIVE
(GDR-8161B)
E-H023-02-2782 (B)
2003. 05
I have seen some listings of drives that are known to work, but they all list the result of a successful Friidump, displaying something like "HL-DT-ST/DVD-ROM GDR8164B/0L06". Obviously, that actual text does not appear on the drive itself. Given that items "a", "c", and "d" match, should I expect the drive to work? Or do I need to see "0L06" someplace, also?

Note that Friidump shows this drive as not supported.

Also note, I have the target drive connected via a USB to IDE adapter. Should I try for a direct connect to the IDE cable?

Again, any help here would be appreciated.

Thanks
Charlie

result is correct as it is now, probably just an unnecessary remainder is what it is
there should be quite a lot of commented out code parts and such
i didn't really invest time in aesthetics
but you could test this unit with raw DVD or CD sectors if you want to be certain

Re: FriiDump 0.5.3 Source Code [Update: Linux build!]

null@example.com (themabus) — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 06:34:12 +0000

no, it's name, that should have been changed
it's pretty messy like that
this Reed–Solomon unit is there for Lite-On, since those drives erase two bytes from each raw sector
this data has to be regenerated
they would not work at all, would there be something wrong

i made that unit atop of Morelos-Zaragoza & Thirumoorthy code
(3. 'Reed-Solomon errors-and-erasures decoder' @The Error Correcting Codes (ECC) Page)

i don't know, maybe i'll clean it up someday
not anytime soon though, i'm pretty done with this for now

edit:
ah, right, you mean, it shifts all data out now?
probably can just remove this bracket then

ok
thank you flibitijibibo
i'll add link to this thread in main topic, for other Linux users

null@example.com (flibitijibibo) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 17:07:36 +0000

Ah, so it's likely just my drive then. That settles that. It'll be a long while before I have the time to look at it again though, so I'll just -T if I need to.

So as far as multiplatform goes, my work is as done as it can be. Thanks again for the source!

null@example.com (themabus) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:41:14 +0000

yes, type is determined with disc_detect_type by simply requesting some sectors ahead of standard GC disc size
and then, if it pass, ahead of Wii size
i guess maybe your drive just doesn't return expected sense code
there was other method left in source, relying on content of DVD, but it was not used for some reason
so i left it alone

maybe you could check what sense your drive returns
on Windows IsoBuster could do this but i don't know about Linux tools

edit:
oh, right, i guess you could just compile it to print sense it returns

edit:
i've rechecked 0.5.3 (that precompiled version from year back) on my Lite-On with DVD+R and DVD+R DL
and it gets first one as Wii and 2nd as Wii_DL
so, i would say, on Windows generally it's fine

null@example.com (flibitijibibo) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 16:09:43 +0000

Er, yeah... it was an abort. Guess I should use the same words as the program, hm? It didn't actually explode or anything, the abort just read like one (specifically the part where it stops at a certain sector).

Assuming the fix above works, the two builds should work identically to the way they worked in the source before I fixed it, rather than it only functioning on Windows.

If GC discs work fine, then it must only be an issue between Wii SL and DL discs. This can be fixed with -T, but I guess it wouldn't hurt to figure out what's causing it to read as DL every time. My guess is it's something in disc.c, but I'm kind of skimming the code since I don't know a whole lot about the ins and outs of disc dumping.

Edit: Just to reiterate, the program functions identically to the version already released. It works fine with no problem, the only thing that was changed was an int type. This should be compatible with Windows, so as long as it compiles there is no problem (and basically no change) and the program will function exactly the same as before, since the int type is essentially the same, just under a name GCC recognizes.

I'm just reporting a bug that Wii SL and DL discs both read as DL discs, and this applies to ALL builds of 0.5.3.

null@example.com (themabus) — Mon, 07 Feb 2011 15:53:16 +0000

no, no, we tested it on Windows quite a lot, it should be alright
i don't have Wii discs myself though, but it read PC DVDs and GC discs fine
but on Linux nobody did
i thought maybe it's something specific to your system
but still it's strange it crashes
if it was for size difference, drive would just request sectors that can not be read and program would abort
it sound very much like something has to be fixed for Linux
