I am pretty sure I get it. I'm going to proceed with ripping Lunar now and then I am going to re rip FFT from scratch. Still not sure how I can proceed with a 0 gap so I'm setting SOTN aside for the time being. Get some easier stuff out of the way first. I should also try and find a game that has already been dumped that I own and see if I can reproduce it. Preferably one with multiple audio tracks.

Have you looked at my original FFT logs? Is it normal to be getting massively large sector changes like I got? 3068 sectors seemed very excessive.

Thanks for explaining the fractions stuff.

[edit]

Alright if I DO understand the simple math correct '1.66 / 2 = 0.83 * 150 = 124.5' is 292824 bytes.

So I go off and do a RESIZE -r -292824 "Track 01.bin" and trim the file off.

I then run a psxt001z.exe --fix "Track 01.bin" and it claims the file is not Mode2/2352.

When I first put the disc in when I went to dump it now EAC reported the gap as 1.70 so I ejected and inserted the disc abut a dozen times and all other times it came back as 1.66. That random 1.70 kinda concerns me. The guide says 1.76 is common but not for PSX games. I feel the gap is just completely inaccurate. I went over the guide 3 times and setup EAC as described so it is configured correct. I guess my drive is just not suited for ripping PSX games and I do not have another to check against. Is a drive with a high or low offset better?

Going to keep screwing with it...

[edit2]

re red the EAC guide a 4th time paying closer attention to the gap detection options. Method B seams to make all the difference in the world. Kinda feel like an ass now smile Well it's progress at east.

checked some games with audio tracks and things are being very weird I think.

Castlevania Symphony of the Night has a single audio track that is not used in the game at all. It's pre gap detects at 0 second.
Lunar Silver Star Story has two audio tracks and track2 detects at 1.66 seconds. How do we get accuracy when we are getting fractions?

I think my CD-ROM drive might be damaged or just not suitable for ripping games...

LITE-ON - LTR-16101B with a +690 offset.

I can not post this normal as the sectors.log file exceeds the 64KB post limit. So instead I am posting on my FileBeam account.

This is my first dump so I would like my work checked for missing information before I proceed. I intend to dump some 30 odd other games I own but would hate to do them all wrong. All dumps will be original US discs.

The next game I do will be one with audio tracks and I again will request the logs be inspected before I proceed further.

All logs and other information are stored in the zip (no game data included). My sectors.log file seems excessively large so I think something might be wrong.
