please upload ccd for me as I don't have a full version
I've sent you a pm.
Ok, just a thought: since isobuster sector view begins at 159844 for track 02, and track 02 has pregap 0 sec, and you see garbage until 19,75 rows of sector 159847, then here is the deal:
2352 + 2352 + (19,75*16) = 5020 bytes of garbage
5020/4 = 1255 samples
THEN: +1255 = (write offset) + 667 => (write offset) = +588
BUT: You have to see sync data in sector 159843 and before this one
(sync data = first row data that begin with FF ....)
***Try in another drive with different (than +667) read offset. You must always find cd write offset of +588 with those calculations. If you don't, then there is smth else happenning there

How do you know garbage is only for 159844-159846? I mean.. 159847 sector seems to have garbage data to me.
Maybe finding the write offset of the disc could really help in your situation. Plz ask Fireball on how to find the write offset using a "trap disc" or talk to iR0b0t in the channel to take a look at the sectors and do his magic
Also plz post the cue file of the CCD here to determine the track 02 pregap
We also need the read offset of the drive that is showing these sectors (that is why I told u we need more info on the drive + game cd)

Re: "Negative" Pregap? (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
First of all, there is NO negative pregap .
I guess there are three things that might be happening here...:
1) Track 02 has data inside the pregap (!! unusual but not impossible)
2) These three sectors are filled with garbage (produced by your physical drive)
3) IF track 02 pregap is indeed 0 sec, the data track might overlap into the audio track
***Note that you must check with other tools (like CloneCD cuesheet file) to determine what the pregap is, because EAC will always show 0 sec for cds that have 1 data + 1 audio track.
Please write more information about the game (what console, how many tracks, region, etc..)

I know it's not a game but I want to upload them in hddx if it's ok. With isobuster i saw they have 2 sessions, session 1 the audio tracks and session 2 the data track wich is numbered not as track 1 but continues from audio. So I extract raw the sessions or just the tracks? And how I make a good CUE that works?

should Disc number be filled with 'A' and 'B' instead of '1' and '2', if that's how it's printed on media?
it's 0..3 instead of 1..4 for Enemy Zero after all
I would try to see if the game itself would ask me for disc "B" or for disc "2" when swap is needed.
After all, we're dumping data/info (what the screen says) and not artwork...
P.S.: This is a good point to also talk about preserving covers-manuals here

Re: Region and language tags (49 replies, posted in General discussion)
From my point of view, No-intro has its ups and downs. I think we need to keep no-intro's convention and take it one step further. For example psx dumps (which I'm especially interested in) need the serial info, as many people base their research of psx releases/history to it. Because you cannot really tell which disc the dump comes from until you know its serial - no other info is so indicative

Well... we have to have a rule about naming here, isn't that right?
And another thing: Judging by the back cover, name of [PSX] Jim Henson's Bear in the Big Blue House (E) should be "bear in the big blue house", correct? here's the cover:
And I have a few more examples like that...

Well I'm glad the game is added with the back-cover title altough title screen begins with "Midway Presents":
Also here is the back cover:
