Ya it a very good solution, but most of the game have exact same audio tracks, so in those cases, it u just remove the Region/Serial info from there filename and from the cue file then u don't need the duplicates. not to mentioned, that u can generate those updated Cue file from the software itself.

It not that i didn't like ur idea, in fact it just provided me how can i add these kind of audiotarcks automatically, i am too lazy to write so many bat files.

and if u have the complete track1 file in the 7zip rather then the patch it eliminate the whole apply patch thing, and someone like me who have thousand of images it saves lot of time, not to mentioned again how lazy i can be.

I don't know much about it but from what i read, it seems the Protection is at the end of the CD. which can also mean that track 4 (Data Track) contain the Protection, so maybe for now we dumped the first three track using ISO buster/EAC and then dumped the fourth one with Alcohol 120% as it seems it was able to copy the protection.

PS: has anyone tried to dump tracks using Alcohol 120%, i think if we dump track 01 using both Alcohol 120% and ISO Buster they will produce same result.

Ya it would be great

Thanks a lot huygens, i tried ur method and it worked.
I did a little change in it thou
here what i did,

I use it on Ace Combat [J]

First i dumped the data tracked using ISO Buster.
Then i set 0 as offset in the EAC and dumped the second Tracked
now using a HEX editor i placed 20K zeros at the start and 20K zero at the end of the image.
after that i used this command provided by you
psxt001z.exe --track [Track Name] 20000 [Track Size] [Correct Track CRC] s [Output File Name]
it was able to find the correct CRC at 50 Samples
so i set 50 in the EAC and Extract all the tracked from 2-63 and all of them have correct CRC.

I would also like to know the thoughts of some seniour dumpers on this method. Since there CRC matched with the one in the DB, i think that are good Dumps now.

PS: this method only work if the image u use have correct/non Corrupted Data. I tried it on two different images of this game and it didn't work, then i find a correct version and it worked on it.

Thanks, Then i will work on single datatrack games for now.

Thanks for the Info, and no problem about getting the patched, i will only request them once i have uploaded few of them myself.

Ya totally agree with you , but there are two reason for me doing it, one is not everyone like that, i myself have a huge collection of downloaded games, but i would preferred to have a perfect rips of those even if its mean to download them all again.

second the more these good dump appeared on the net the more are the chance that peoples with original CD will come here to help.

OK then i will stick with RAR then.

Thanks a lot for the info.

OK, need little help again,

I tried converting my games and about 90% of them worked ok for data track, but i am having problem with the audio track. i mostly get zeros not data. is there any way which i can use to extract the audio track using virtual drives.

second what is this patch thing and how can i make one, i might be able to provide fews if i know how they are created and work. also can i request some patch thou i am not a dumper or not.

last Question, if someone have good knowledge of torrentzip can he tell me that, if i use torrentzip to upload a not yet dumped game as a torrent, and afterward i find my dump is not 100% correct and then i find and replace it with a correct one, do others will need to download the whole game or the corrupt parts only, (If it is not allowed to mentioned torrents here please delete my third question)

K, Thanks for the info, i will keep that in mind.

No one has replied about ps2 games yet. they are very cheap here, i can get few if pirated DVD are ok.

Ya i know many of them are not good dumps, but atleast by converting them i will know which one of them are good and which of them are not. also by using torrentzip replacing the bad one will be much easier. also my personal experience show that no of bad JAP dumps are much lower then the US or PAL Dumps.

Also, There are not many JAP Entries in the DB (Only about 300 or so are present), where as i have about 2600+ Images. is there any way which i can use to see if a image might be a good dump, if its entry is not present in the BD.
