Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions (54 replies, posted in General discussion)
TailS... I found it, please ask jj1odm if he can add an option to dump HD (high density) area in raw audio (like it was a big single audio track, all data will be scrambled) so we can verify what I said above. Show him how it works (guide above) with cdrwin, he should understand what I mean.

Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions (54 replies, posted in General discussion)
DC drive is a modified Yamaha 400R (as long as I remember it has a different chip so it can read gdroms), I don't know its read offset
Please don't take dumpcast db for redump db, gaps from dumpcast are all wrong and bad. Here is Redump and not dumpcast.
We don't need to dump gaps on the fly or any offset for HD area*, if the author of dcsdrip (or someone else, I don't see any source code on his website http://f17.aaa.livedoor.jp/~takotako/dc … p#dcsdrip) can modify this prog to read data from sector to sector in raw audio (one single audio mode file for all HD area data - sector 44990-549150 -**, the same we do on PC with cdrwin), we can use it to get right tracks from HD area using ICE.
*When cdrwin dumps HD area in audio mode it has only the drive read offset correction, then is ICE that scramble and splits the tracks. SD area can be dumped on any pc drive.
** it's sector 45000-549150, but because some discs have negative offset it's better to dump 10 more sectors before HD area default start.

The SD method can rip first and second session tracks, both audio and data.
(Data in bin, audio in raw)
All games match...
Just to be sure:
So it takes correct gaps for audio/data tracks?
You don't have to fix anything manually to get same checksum of our DB?
You got exactly the same tracks checksum on tracks freshly dumped?
As Jackal said the other discs could be different revisions, you can see it in the header.

Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions (54 replies, posted in General discussion)
As I posted in the other thread...
Another solution could be the SD adapter and tools to dump HD area.
If someone wants to try something, here are a pair of links
http://f17.aaa.livedoor.jp/~takotako/dc … php#sdcard ---> How to and tools (Japanese)
http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?id=7818275499 ---> Chinese seller for a ready to use adapter
Tolls can dump full disc as I understand so if it dumps it raw I think it could be parsed by ICE. Someone with knowledge could try to edit source code of that tool to dump all HD area in raw audio.

This thread might confuse a lot of people. As Jackal said we don't support it and a Rimmer said it's valid only on 3 tracks discs and only for hd track.

The thing is I only have two optical drives (no Plextor for me sad ). How can I find out if my drives support read command to work with Perfect Rip?
Simply try px_d8 or try to dump someting with PR, if it works your drive support it. By the way if your drives support lead-out you can dump easily disc with >0 offset with EAC+Isobuster as usual

I think Naomi GDs have to be dumped as well by Redump. The method is the same of DC, tracks structure is the same.

I'm waiting for some of them. Blue ones are new dumps, green are veifications.
I can dump games from others, but as you can see I have a lot to dump before doing it (moreover I have a friend who sells DC stuff and he can give me a lot of other games to dump, mainly Japs).

Re: Who from us can dump Dreamcast Games? (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
I still have to dump around 100 jap games and more to come.
Elbarto you don't need a 99min cd for the trap disc, simply use clonecd and a 80min (750mb) cd

Re: PerfectRip Bug? (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
Subs with PR are ok, but normally clonecd ones are required.
Subs has to be uploaded somewhere so we can check it.

Re: PerfectRip Bug? (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
Both programs have bugs or detect something the other one don't, so this is the point. By the way PR > EAC. When someone will write a better program both EAC and PR could be forgotten.
If you got no strange gaps A detection is better then B. Do EAC gaps match PR gaps?
Moreover all these issues can be checked with a good sub dump.

Re: PerfectRip Bug? (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
This is something common (yes probably a bug), you may also dump it twice (one after the other) to see that the second one will not get all those warnings. Moreover I noticed this disc has FLAGS DCP so PR sometimes puts warning when it finds text or similar.
If you got no C2 errors at the end, the dump is good. Now you have to confirm with EAC (this is mandatory) just to check if there are issues (different pregaps, etc).

Re: PerfectRip Bug? (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
This sectors are exactly 8 samples (32 bytes), it could be a mastering error)
Post px_d8 log you take first, then new one for sector 94310 with new and old px_d8 and track02 (or at least the first Mb). By the way try also to dump it at a lower speed to see if something changes.
Probably PR renamed it like a data track because of that sector.

CD/DVD Check is a simple protection which checks only if the disc is inserted in the drive, so you can dump it the regular way

If everything went well, the dump is ready to be submitted.

Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions (54 replies, posted in General discussion)
To all people who cannot dump DC with any drive:
1) which error does CDRwin report?
2) does dump starts and then stopped with errors after dumping a bit?
If those errors are not referring to sectors then your problem is simply a bad media used for trap disc.

Re: How do you feel about scrubbing? (9 replies, posted in General discussion)
Scrubbed images are bad dumps. A lot of bad dumps, also for cartridge systems, work well on emulators and /or backup on real machine, but they are bad. Many other bad dumps don't work well or don't work at all:
1) Many scrubbed GC games don't work because of streaming.
2) Some scrubbed Wii games don't work until some IOS are updated for them (this is a hack!)
3) Some scrubbed xbox1 don't work
4) Scrubbed xbox360 will never work (I don't know if they'll do on jtagged)
Redump was born to preserve 1:1 images or at least as near as we can. It's like you want to ask members if we want to preserve bad dumps. I hope nobody will never mind to preserve those bad dumps here, this is an example of what I was talking in another discussion.
I know new systems discs are quite big to archive but nobody force you to preserve them this way, it was only forced by Redump quality. In the future somedody might ask "why don't we preserve audio tracks in mp3 format?".
I'd like to remember that Redump is a preservation website and not a warez website.

Re: How do you feel about scrubbing? (9 replies, posted in General discussion)
Scrubbed games are not 1:1 dumps, moreover it's not true they are 100% compatible. Yes, this is the wrong forum.

Nope, no trap cd is needed, just a game and a plextor, but subs are needed and not the clonecd ones, so each dump can take an hour or two.
This is new, so which subs?
