[DONE] Discussing the multisession cue (Page 4 of 6)

Maybe make it like follows(?):

To comment the real INDEX 01 and make it work like that.

Or even more accurate:

One of the reasons i don't want to have it is because the database currently supports two cuesheet styles, without "PREGAP" (our standard one) and with "PREGAP" which is available as an alternative variation.

If i bring in additionaly "REM PREGAP 00:02:00" for both styles it will be super ugly.

And yes, my last suggestion is a little bit "ugly" if you want to call it that, but it would serve its purpose and i feel its a better (more appropriate) solution.

Na, i won't drop it. You never know.

Right now, i have no other suggestions.

You lost me there

I only see 2 solutions:

1. Completely define the area between the sessions in the cuesheet, so that tools can use the MSF lengths in the cuesheet to determine the amount of sectors to generate, without any assumptions or hardcoded values in software. This means that REM PREGAP should be included.

2. Assume that the area between the sessions is always the same and let tools use hardcoded values. So for the gap between the first 2 sessions, assume that LEAD-OUT is always 01:30:00 and LEAD-IN 01:00:00 and PREGAP 00:02:00. If we make these assumptions, then the REM LEAD-OUT and REM LEAD-IN lines are no longer needed and only the REM SESSION lines will suffice.

Sounds fine.. so what's the next step, getting sarami to define to add REM PREGAP in the DIC cuesheet, and getting iR0b0t to add support for REM SESSION lines in cuesheets?

And for the disc page, I guess there should be be separate boxes (with the Track / Cuesheet info) with total columns for each session? And also for the Dreamcast LD and HD area? Now Dreamcast is showing the total lengths and crc for LD and HD combined, but this is meaningless.

This is what a DIC cuesheet should look like now:

REM SESSION 01
FILE "dump (Track 1).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM LEAD-OUT 01:30:00
REM SESSION 02
REM LEAD-IN 01:00:00
REM PREGAP 00:02:00
FILE "dump (Track 2).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 00 00:00:00
    INDEX 01 23:07:05
FILE "dump (Track 3).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    INDEX 00 00:00:00
    INDEX 01 00:01:74
FILE "dump (Track 4).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    INDEX 00 00:00:00
    INDEX 01 00:01:74

I think we are in agreement that the Redump site can store the complete cuesheet, but it should only include the REM SESSION lines in the download .cue (and exclude the REM LEAD-OUT, REM LEAD-IN, REM PREGAP because they are standard values that should be the same always)

REM SESSION 01
FILE "dump (Track 1).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
REM SESSION 02
FILE "dump (Track 2).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 02 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 00 00:00:00
    INDEX 01 23:07:05
FILE "dump (Track 3).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 03 AUDIO
    INDEX 00 00:00:00
    INDEX 01 00:01:74
FILE "dump (Track 4).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 04 AUDIO
    INDEX 00 00:00:00
    INDEX 01 00:01:74

ir0b0t can you add the needed cue handling, multisession seems good enough.

@iR0b0t will the disc page show that it's a multisession disc? or do we need to add a comment

Alright, the edit form should work now, please try to update some entries which need session data.

DO NOT USE MULTISESSION CUES FOR NEWDISC

The cue is being accepted now when I edit it, but it's not being parsed by the download script correctly. It's a start though, I put the cue in the comments.
