Hey all, I am currently dumping an IBM CD game from my childhood and I noticed something strange. The disc is completely scratch-free but when I dump it with the newest version of DIC, it spits out 2 versions: the regular rip (that ISOBuster also spat out on my first archival attempt back when) and a "Subs indexes" version. When I use CDmage to check both images, the first version has thousands of errors while the "Subs indexes" version is error-free. My question is which dump should be considered correct and should be submitted.

Below is the disc data that I would have been using to submit in the form:

Normally, this indicates some discrepancy between the track addresses in the TOC and in the subchannels, so, it splits the dump into tracks once according to the TOC and once according to the subchannels.

But in this case, it seems to be some DIC bug.

Is there any suggestion as to which version of the dump I should submit? As I think I mentioned, a second dump produced identical results. The sub version seems "most correct" error-wise, though I have not verified that both work identically on install or anything of the sort.

I think you should show the logs and sub to sarami to find out and solve all the dumping issues before submitting anything.

Okay, I'll post on the DIC thread.
