Hello.

I have recently purchased a GDR-8084N for the purpose of ripping Wii discs. This is the result.

PS C:\Users\Danfu\Documents\emulation\DiscImageCreator_20200204\Release_ANSI> .\DiscImageCreator.exe dvd D spaceoddity.iso 4

If the github page wasn't in error, I was wondering if I need to swap firmware in order to get it to run, and if so, with what firmware. Does anybody have any suggestions, or should I refund the GDR-8084N and instead get a different drive?

One of the guys more proficient with Ninty dumping will confirm but i think the correct syntax for that system is

Discimagecreator.exe dvd <drive letter> "path\filename.iso" <speed> /raw

try tagging that /raw onto the end of your cmd and see if it helps.

This is the result I get

This drive doesn't define in driveOffset.txt
Please input drive offset(Samples):

I should have mentioned this hours ago, but I realized that the drive offset was indeed mentioned in the driveoffset.txt file, and began the slow process of ripping one of my Wii games. Also, I admit that the github wiki did mention the /raw command, but I missed it in my first attempt. I successfully ripped the game.
