Had some fun a while ago writing a program that could do this for my own usage. I did put it on github : https://github.com/jonblau/gdicnv

It's CLI so not as beginner-friendly, but works faster, offline, without database, and creates .gdi files on its own.
For your purpose, the command would be something like :

./convert --to-gdi 13 13

The two trailing numbers being the original disc offsets you want to restore (specific values for every disc are on redump.org).

A note to the next poor soul trying to convert a modern .cue Redump ROM to a TOSEC one:
You need to use the .gdi files provided in the download section on the main page AND you need to make sure, that there is no .cue file in the source directory.

Otherwise the tool will just say "Complete" without doing anything - the .cue file seems to stop all operations, so it has to be removed beforehand.

This so far is the only application, that realy produces a matching TOSEC dump, from a redump set.
The other usual tools suggested online (like gdidrop, gdi-utils, etc.) don't produce TOSEC compatible ROMs.

I got a hint, that NKit is also able to do this conversion, I'll test it out and let you guys know here.
It seems to be a good candidate to make a mass conversion - the tool in this thread can only make one conversion at a time.

1) I think list is mostly complete, and there are not many other models that can serve as donors. Maybe it's worth checking LG, pioneer or older asus drives for donors, but those are difficult to track.
2) There 2 types of SF-DB10 lasers, best to open your 712 to check for which you look for. Weirdly I've seen people reporting both in plextors. Maybe one is for 708 and second for 712(?) . (712 supports quality scan plextools when 708 does not)
3) You can join discord to talk

Ok, ty for this information.
What do you mean by 2 types of SF-DB10 lasers ? Opening my PX712SA, I found a clean SF-DB10 without any further reference.

We have a way to get around that, but it's annoying. You can ignore the confirmed status for all the fields like ringcode, CUE, PVD.

http://redump.org/disc/59818/

Am I to understand that the other dumper just didn't submit a cuesheet along with the track hashes?  Is it that simple?

Are you talking about scratches?

I am talking about the photo that I marked: https://drive.google.com/file/d/100gSuL … TS3An/view
There is a separator which I marked it. Red is showing it, and blue is overlapping it. I am asking for the reason of this so I don't confuse it with actual ringed discs. Is it called scratch, too?

Not Pepka but that's indeed unrelated to DRM. Its just a sign that they didn't use the full disc while pressing data onto it.

Oh, okay. I will start to process this disc to the database.
And there it goes my 100th post on the forum.
