Why not to dump those before selling?

Here there's no problem about EAC detecting bugs because everything is loaded from a .cue file so it takes whats on the .cue loeded on virtual drive. By the way I could be wrong.
I've thought he was trying to compare EAC vs. single file dumps.
Also the single dump will have data missing from the end of the last track due to the write offset most of the time.
PerfectRip is able to do the single file dumps with offset correction, so, no problem with that.
The problem with EAC is that when creating a cuesheet based on "Current Gap Settings" it lists the tracks as if they were seperate WAV files, rather than referencing start points and pregaps within a BIN file.
Also, EAC is horrible at detecting the correct pregaps and, especially, postgaps.
This is related to something I also don't understand about CD ripping. Why separate the disc data into a bunch of segments when a cue sheet can do that differentiation for you?
Different discs can have the same tracks.
At least if you rip the disc to a single file, user error regarding pregaps and shit can't affect the data's integrity/hash, only the cue
Wrong. Data tracks are stored on CD in a different form (scrambled), audio tracks are stored "as is", so the gap issues _can_ affect the single file dump.
http://maws.mameworld.info/maws/ -- all the arcade ones are "beatmania" and "beatmania" is really a TM.
The guide is obsolete, No-Intro's convention has its own standard.
MacGruber, you are completely RIGHT!
I don't understand what's the meaning of this discussion and it's not the first time. I know also that admin, Fireball, has some weird thoughts.
Titles can be written in any way on covers, any language doesn't use capitalization, even English, unless for names of people, countries, istitutions and so on.
What we use it's simply a convention (not only no-intro, but this convention was used by anyone) and has nothing to do with grammatic rules: everything must be capitalized unless "articles", some "conjunctions" and some "prepositions" ***
Some titles also have an unusual capitalization on purpose. In that case, capitalization should be left as intended.
For example, beatmania is a trademark, it can't be written in any other form and definetely not as "Beat Mania", like now.

Resize file to requested size.
He's not drunk, he's ripping a disc which contains only audio tracks, no data track (soundtrack ?).
In that case, I believe too, that gaps should be appended to previous tracks.
Because it's not written anywhere on this site and your thoughts is a horrible mistake (I don't understand the reason you've decided this way can be correct). Pregaps are always belong to the "next" track, there are no exclusions. If any of you have dumped any CDDA disc this way for the db, better tell it right now 
Are you drunk or what? Gaps should never be appended to the previous track, only to the next one. Stop imagining things.
I have 2 discs they piss me off, Star Wars Galactic Battlegrounds Clone Campaings and Lemmings Chronicles.
The star wars disc has 1 data and 1 audio, the plextor drive reports a 0 secs track 2 pregap and the LG 2.01 secs. the first track 2 sector is 125999 and shows garabage. the pregap has data but i dont know if they are data sectros, audio sectors and how many seconds.
2.01, all audio, if any data - should be scrambled.
In the lemmings disc both drives report 3 secs pregap, but the first sec has data and the last 2 00s. I dont know if they are data sectors or audio sectors. I dont know how to read subs. The first sector of track 2 is 44675. - 150 sectors at 44525 has garbage.
so i post the subs of both and if you need more info tell me.
3.00, all data, if any data - should be descrambled.
I've thought he is Dutch
There are 10 categories: Games, Demos, Video, Audio, Multimedia, Applications (those tools are applications, afterall), Coverdiscs (bundled with magazines), Educational, Bonus Discs (bonus CDDA discs should have the Audio category selected, bonus DVD - Video category, the rest are Bonus Discs), Betas. Why not to check the list before asking?
You won't be able to find a combined offset for audio cds. Use the drive's offset, but try to check, if there is non-zero data after the last byte of the last track (using the drive capable of overreading into lead-out), if yes - tweak the offset to include all the data.
In the "new disc" menu.
Nope, bonus ones go into the same section with the games, DVD-Video is for the standalone game-related discs only. Audio CD section was also created, btw, for various game-related CDDAs (not the bonus ones) - OSTs, promos, etc.
ccd files _probably_ will be added in the future (along with the subs), but definetely not mds (ccd is readable, mds is not).
Unless you require everyone to post photos of the games, of course, but that would be crazy. Not even the SPS guys go that far, and that's saying something.
Not crazy, but a different hosting is needed, because this one is very limited in bandwidth.

For me, フェイエリア is "fe i e ri a" and the closest meaningful word is "feeria"
feeria (-ía) n 1. fairyland: 2. [Theat.] fairy play, spectacular play
The game itself takes place in a fantasy medieval world, so this word fits the title for me, but gigadeath insists on "Fhey Area", which is written on the side of the box (like it's written "KISUISYOUDENSETU ASUTARU" on the side of the Saturn's Astal box, so makes no sense at all). Any other ideas, how to name this properly?
----
And one more q: a disc title for the 3rd Saturn "3x3 Eyes" CD is "スペシセル ＣＤ―ＲＯＭ", unable to properly translate/romanize it, sounds like "su pe shi se ru CD-ROM" - "Super CD-ROM CD-ROM"???
ok, ok, disabled
Theoretically, you can add them as Category: Coverdiscs, but only if you really wish to see them in db (they aren't very useful, especially at this point, IMO).
Just add them as Category: Multimedia.
Edition. AFAIK (I'm not a PSX collector, so can be wrong), all the titles in Major Wave series were also released as regular ones. Raiden DX definetely (original is SLPS-00728 and there's also SCPS-45019).
It is readable, all the old non-added games are stickied to the top, the rest are all [ADDED] (unless missed by mods).
IBM PC:
Rockman Dash
Talking about IBM PC ones - I'm sure there are lots of Japanese titles, which are uncommon outside Japan. Console ports should be interesting, IMO. For example, Nostalgia 1907 was released for both PC and Mega CD (http://vgmdb.net/album/5618 http://vgmdb.net/album/5619 - both are bonus OST CDs packed with the game), the Mega CD one is pretty common, while the PC version is almost unknown to everyone.
But the most valuable dumps would be, of course, NEC PC-98XX series titles and FM-Towns ones (like http://yahoo.jpctrade.com/yahoo/search? … auccat=0_0). They are very expensive outside of Japan ($30 to $300 per CD) and chances to see them in our db in the near future aren't so high, unfortunately.
And there's one more Japanese-only CD-based (or DVD-based?) console (can't find _any_ dumps in the net at all), which seems to be extremely cheap in Japan and can't be found at all outside it, TOMY Kiss-Site - http://yahoo.jpctrade.com/yahoo/search? … auccat=0_0
Of course, I'm not insist on anything, we will be happy to receive any submissions
