Hello all.
I've ran into this on a couple of discs and I seek advice. At the end of the track's read, one of the rows of EAC's error correction will start to light up. The resulting track has a quality >= 99.7%.
One disk I ran into this I know is a good dump, as the track matches one in the db (Battle Arena Toshinden Remix, Saturn, Track 10).
I have two Playstation games at the moment that do this as well. Agile Warrior F-IIIX and Revolution X. Agile Warrior does this on Track 9, and Revolution X does it on 5, 7, and 11. With these two discs, I have no db entries to compare my dump to.
How should I proceed? I have a PX-760A coming in the mail, so I can try some plextor-specific tools. (Need it to dump the last track on that pesky +588 saturn game )

Edit: Matched a web dump to my Revolution X Track 5 with some sample shifting, so this is truly the way the disc is. I did not expect this at all. When originally checking my dumps, since the tracks were signed RIFF WAVE, I determined the file length based on the header and extracted a proper WAV. The result was a file that had blank samples at the end, which didn't happen with the 100% tracks. The disc must have just been made badly :S
I expect I'll find the same with tracks 7 and 11, but I'll check.
Yep, all three tracks match after sample shifting.
-----------------------------------
I'll have to see if I can find something to match up to Agile Warrior. What are some general rules of thumb on this though?

Web version only had one data track, but I was able to match the start and end of the track. The file didn't match exactly, as the web version had its data stored in a data track vs an audio track, but I was able to align the ends of each, verifying that my end sectors are good.
