This is in the Games category, but it only has audio tracks? so shouldn't it be in the Audio category instead?
EDIT: Fixed
Yes, sure, fixed.
Btw, the naming is wrong - http://www.satakore.com/sega-saturn-gam … n-JPN.html (CD to the right), should it be changed?
Ok, also, why is this Audio cd listed with -294 write offset? 
just so it has matching checksums?: http://redump.org/disc/5330/
And I still think it's strange to start 'aligning' audio data.. it gives offsets a new meaning: http://redump.org/disc/6695/.. if the track1 pregap data is already lost then maybe it's best to just remove this dump for now..

It could be or not. I thought about when I added it: probably it's better to take all audio bonus CD as (Bonus CD) because it's obvious that it's a music collection (or do you want to rename it "MusicColection"? 
).

I've made a suggestion about the proper offset for them - http://forum.redump.org/post/15657/#p15657 - but it wasn't changed, so maybe dumpers didn't like the idea.

I've already sent him a PM a few days ago with a suggestion to dump the whole 1st track using CD Reader/CD tool.

That's a better solution imho.. hope it will be changed to that.. at least the choice of offset can be defended then.

what would i do with that pregap?
paste it in comments?
regarding Akumajou Dracula X and generalized such situations - i see nothing wrong with it
i'd rather have one record with N offsets listed,
than N records of the same CD, each with different offset and each missing some samples

Have you managed to get a good dump of the whole -150 to 0 range?

Looks like he means they should be redumped with +390 and +684 offsets. As I've said, they won't be any 'wronger' of it, because you don't know proper offset values for them, anyway.
Yeah.. that's what I meant.. if the difference corresponds with common write offsets then it's best to ass u and me that that's the write offset.. instead of using a custom offset..

no - Plextor won't go further than -75 with invalid mode
Asus and Lite-On both freak out at about -142, each always at the same place
i think it's a white noise, btw - nothing important anyway

yes, i agree
though it would be seldom we'd be able to tell actual offset

i agree, Jackal

shouldn't Tenbu Mega CD Special's offset be +13?
it's correction that was applied to get this output
that's how i understand this field anyway
leaving it @0 implies that no correction was performed,
it becomes like a magical value then with a special meaning (indicating real offset being unknown?)
I think we should remove offsets for all audio cd's because we don't have the real write offset. So it's best to put the offset that was used in the comments instead.. so we're assuming that 'EAC offset' was used in case nothing is mentioned.
edit: Done, but don't know if I missed a couple.. I don't remember how you can list only the Audio category discs (custom url).
