hmm, it seems I ran into some problems while dumping CLOCKWORK KNIGHT Pepperouchau's Adventure volume 2 (J)
first, eac0.99pb3 is unable to determine pregap of the second track(no luck with all 3 modes)
pregap for the first track is 2 seconds (there should not be any gaps?)
pregap for the second track is 0 seconds (there is a gap, probably 1.74)
onto the offset
drive used: PIONEER DVD-RW DVR-109 +48 (I checked with the MITSUMI CR-48XATE +733, but that drive is unable to read pregap, and the last few samples from the last track, so I can't really say the results were the same, though they were *almost* the same )
the second track starts from sector 122899
assuming pregap is 2 seconds, I look up sector#122749
for this sector I always get random data(different data on each read), except when sector 122748 read first, in which case the data is not random(mode1 sector)
for the next sector(#122750) I get 192 bytes of *scrambled* data(not random) and zeroes after that
so I dumped the second track with offset +48(is this correct? there is 0x504 leading zeroes in resulting Track02.bin, so the offset could be 369 at max)
and shortened the first track by 149 sectors (not 150)
now onto the cue
that's original cue I got from eac

obviously, this cant't be mounted with daemon tools, so I modified it a little

however, when opened with isobuster, the second track starts from sector 122750, and the pregap is missing

PREGAP 00:01:74

now (finally) copy "feels" the same as original disk
hmm, why PREGAP 00:01:74 is only one sector less than PREGAP 00:02:00?(upd: I get that one, "74" is "frames", not "microseconds")
so the question is
is that a "normal", *correct* way to dump these disks?
if so, I post this game and a couple of others in "dumps"
and, maybe you could mail me that PerfectRip thing?
