It's an important question. Console CDs can also be multisessional, for example, Atari Jaguar games and Dreamcast MIL CDs.

Topic: Splitting Japanese words in Rōmaji (8 replies, posted in General discussion)
I just don't get it. Ki Suishou vs Kisuishou (Densetsu Astal) -- ok, Ki and Suishou are different words. But why Daisenryaku and not Daisen Ryaku (World Advanced Daisenryaku) -- those are 2 different words, too. Or Ushinawareta instead of Ushina Wareta (Vandal Hearts: Ushinawareta Kodai Bunmei) -- those are also 2 different words. How to determine, whether 2 words should be splitted or not?

Better dump each of the first 2 datatracks as a sector range in isobuster. Subs are here, so it's easy to tell the proper ranges for the each one.

Heey, you can't do this, the gap between the datatracks isn't empty, you must dump it, not generate.

What is missing for actual preservation is the attached metadata with more information. This is currently implemented on the redump.org website in a limited way. Ideally this data should be included with the binary copies that were migrated and should be replicated.

Cues can also be downloaded from the site, but you can get them from your own CDs as well. You can't get the same sbi files from the CDs, though, so it's totally useless to include them into the dats - you can download them from the site, you can download them elsewere, you can dump them from your own CDs, they will be different every time, but they will work (most likely).

Nope, because you won't be able to read them from the CD again with the same checksum, so the checksums for these files are useless.
