If you are going to dump CDs you should invest in a CD-only plextor. They have the best read rates. For DVDs, there is zero reason to use a plextor, any dvd drive can dump those discs properly. DVD PX models are trash amd the laser is known for wearing out. If you plan on dumping CDs they should not be recommended ever, yet people still preach buying 716 or 760 drives for dumping cds. No, full stop.

DIC does not allow CD-only plextors to dump multisession CDs. A Plextor DVD drive is required.

It seems Blazin64 was able to fix NTFS dumping with wudump.

https://github.com/FIX94/wudump/pull/18

He also provided a compiled version within the PR. Can anyone report if it's properly working?

I think the issue is this part of the code:

    if ((*pExecType == cd && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 3000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == swap && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 3000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == data && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 3000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == audio && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 3000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == gd && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 4000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == dvd && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 9000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == xbox && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 9000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == xboxswap && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 9000000000) ||

        (*pExecType == xgd3swap && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 9000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == sacd && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 9000000000) ||
        (*pExecType == bd && ui64Avail.QuadPart > 130000000000)
        ) {
        OutputString("\t => There is enough disk space for dumping\n");

All values are hardcoded instead of being calculated per disk.

I hope for that reason alone we can get all the kinks worked out with the ASUS / LG drives. They seem to be better readers. That might just be because they're less aged and worn, but I suspect it's also just because they're newer technology.

There's another critical reason to use those drives: they're still being sold!
Finding a Plextor is getting more difficult by the day. The ones you can find on ebay cost a kidney and there's no guarantee they're in good condition. My 760A is useless now (Servo failure with all discs) and both my Premium and 708A are only reliable with slow speeds.

This is probably a fix for "psxt001z --fix" issue.

How can I fix the dumps that used that option?
Also, where can I read about that issue? A quick search for psxt001z didn't help much.

Up until 2011 those discs had been dumped by HwitVlf, huygens, iR0b0t, osam and pepsidrinker and were verified.
In January of 2011, the dumper Nakian was added but all hashes changed. In 2019 the dumper superg was added verifying the new hashes.

What happened here? Were the previous dumps faulty for some reason? Or were the dumps by Nakian and superg another revision that were erroneously added to the original dumps?

Why would anyone try to crack the hashes of games' images? SHA-1 is even an overkill for the purposes of redump.org, SHA-256 would be absolutely redundant.

The emulator BizHawk (https://github.com/TASVideos/BizHawk/releases/) comes with a tool called DiscHawk that also merges bin+cue files into ccd+img. You can try that.

From what I understand there isn't a consensus on the format, it would be a waste of time for him to implement something that could be changed at any time.

Thanks sarami, the test version worked.

It did output the message:

This image was ripped by a drive of 0 offsets

between tracks 3 and 4. Is that correct?

Here's the full output: https://pastebin.com/ni7vpRSc

Same issues with the versions from 2012 and 2014.

Maybe the problem is actually with track 4, but Conv2multiBin is not outputting track 3 before it encounters the issue.

Take a look of this output from findcrcs:

E:\findcrcs-0.3-bin-win64>findcrcs "Interstate '76 (World) (Disc 2) (Play CD).img" 29821008 43f89d66
388986906  43f89d66  57396ad442565debbf8844a2034c44c9
453115152  43f89d66  74028f15fe72f8d6127dbdaf3acc087c

The same CRC is found twice inside that file, but only once it has the correct MD5. Maybe Conv2multiBin doesn't know how to deal with this situation.

@Sarami for some reason Conv2multibin is failing on track 3 of a dump I made with DIC. Tracks 1 and 2 work ok.

Console log

The .img file is good, the .dat too and I can find the segment using findcrcs 0.3.

E:\findcrcs-0.3-bin-win64>findcrcs -q "Interstate '76 (World) (Disc 2) (Play CD).img" 22482768 dafad881 a6d30b96bc50389c88235f9aa1bf2a86
430632384 dafad881 a6d30b96bc50389c88235f9aa1bf2a86

I tried using the following offsets:
0 0
760 0
760 30
0 -30
-760 0
790 0

You should probably take some time to familiarize on how redump.org and DIC work before criticizing.

Thanks a lot sarami!

I noticed that if you have a filename with a dot, DIC will truncate it at the dot, for example "Game name (v1.2)" becomes "Game name (v1".
Is there a way to escape characters? I tried using a backslash before the dot but it just created a new directory.

Thanks for the update sarami.

BTW can you modify the *_volDesc.txt log so that it also has the Primary Volume Descriptor (PVD) in the format that the "New Disc" form requires?

I have a few games in "redump format" that I'd like to play, but to do that I need to mount the images. Virtual Clone Drive can mount single track .bin files (without a .cue), but multi-track images need to be in .ccd to work with it.

If I'm not mistaken, Alcohol needs SPTD to work.

Using Isobuster worked to generate a single .bin/.iso file, but is there a way to convert a cue to ccd? VCD accepts ccd but not cue.
