Any examples of those undumped games, maybe? And do you have a proper drive to dump them?

I've thought all the PS2 discs have 2 layers of ringcodes, but one of them is usually hidden under the label for DVD-5 discs? And there were experiments by scratching off the paint from the label side proving that?

But "New Horizon.dat" and "New Horizon (Subs indexes).dat" hashes/sizes are the same, "New Horizon.cue" and "New Horizon (Subs indexes).cue" gaps/indexes are also the same? Misdetect?

Boxes are different for these, so they need to be bought separately in any case (we've already dumped FMT and PC98 releases, though).

Then he has nothing to worry about, what's the problem? Just warned people not to use untested/hacky builds, we have lots of problems with specific official & test versions of DIC, we don't need additional problems with hacky ones.

No hostility at all, I haven't said anything about his dumps, the warning was neutral.

What do you mean by "used"? In db? Db only uses cue-bin images, ofc. SCM hash is needed when/if you decide to verify some descrambled image by scrambling it back. Messy discs may give a different result, depends on the case. Also, there are known mastering errors when the scrambled CD image contains unscrambled sectors and the descrambled data contains scrambled sectors - again, if you don't have .scm checksums and don't have the scm image anymore, you can't really confirm the image is correct.

I've already explained those hashes are important and shouldn't be disabled. DIC dumps every disc upto 15-20 minutes on 4x, while the hash calculating takes maybe a minute (when reading data from HDD, from ramdisk it should be faster). If "the years of your work" don't deserve that minute - better not to do any dumping at all.

Absolutely necessary. Get a new PC if yours can't do fast calculations. Since we're using the descrambled images for redump checksums, the .scm checksum is the only evidence of the original data. And the .img checksum is important to compare with the calculated-by-the-site one + needed for the quick db-vs-log verifications.
