  • Updated 'Disc ID' field for PS3 entries to allow acceptance of 12 or 16 bytes input, see examples:

    disc_id = 00000000000000ff00020003

    disc_id = 00000000000000ff00020003XXXXXXXX

    disc_id = 00000000000000ff0002000300000000 (double layer discs)

If the last 4 bytes (8 digits as shown above) are just zeroes please provide them as is, do not cut or modify.

You can't for now. I did try it myself without luck.

>>> 4) If your drives don't support over-reading you should dump the audio tracks once with over-read enabled and once with over-read disabled. If your dumping results are equal after that, then your dump should be okay. Best, you use two different drives with different read offsets, though!

Please post both EAC dumping logs (over-reading on / off) even if they seem to match.

Two and a half (men) years later...  roll

Just saw you online and checked your submissions, else i would not have noticed your request on help.

It would be better you feed us with your ring codes and dumping information:

The entire ring matrix, disc version (you said is same?), full serial printed on the disc, size and hashes you get, all these things which can help us to identify your problem.

To be honest the logs are a little bit confusing.

Not sure what to believe.

If perfectrip dump reports a 2:00 audio pregap and cdmage reports an error on the last sector, this seems okay to me. But looking at your other isobuster log from the same PX-716A drive, it shows no ECC data on the as last calculated data track sector, which should actually be the pre-last one according to perfectrip log.

146824 should be the first audio frame if you tick it in isobuster
going back 150 frames would lead you to 146674, not 673.

Might be a TOC vs. SUB desync.

LG drives are pretty good, for dumping data only discs at least.

We are on a new server now.

Unfortunately the old one died short before all data could be moved over.
Almost everything has been restored. We only "lost" 1 day of ads and some
forum data, which is avatars and post attachments from April 21st till
November 5th. Nothing bad after all. You should simply check your forum
avatar image, whether it is the one you uploaded at last. Renew it, if needed.

The new server is a dedicated server which has X-times better performance,
but is also much more expensive than the last one, and it allows us features
like creating datfiles on the fly.

Blue Shift gave me the same trouble

There are 2 dumps with audio tracks and 1 without in the database by now. Blue Shift is SecuROM protected, and this protection includes one MODE2 sector which is in the very end of the data track. Your drive might have an issue extracting different DATA MODE TYPES inside of a single track. So yeah, try an other drive ))

I don't think it has been deleted. I moved some topics to dumping section maybe it was among them.

various discs give an unreadable sector error at 99% when I use IsoBuster

Half-Life discs contain audio tracks. Your problem is most likely that you are trying to extract the whole 1st track using "extract track" option, which has 2nd track's pregap appended. I know, the dumping guide is outdated, but it says how to handle redbook (audio) discs. I would recommend you to dump some data track discs only at first.

Parent/Child relationship can be between the 1st master and remasters (re-releases) of the "same" title and region.

What you are talking of is "grouping" of discs with similar contents smile

Using a "cloneof"-attribute in this case sounds wrong IMHO, but if this is the way clrmamepro works to group similar items then its fine i guess ))

I can rename this menu to "Systems" and move disc related links to "Discs".

Clrmame support for dvds is on my todo list smile

There is no value for layer breaks stored on the disc, just layer length for the first layer, and layer break is calculated by that, layer0's length + 1. Isobuster creator probably just forgot to add an extra digit, it happens sometimes ))

Should be fixed within the next release i guess, if somebody will be pointing him out to that fact.

It is possible, yes. But i do unwillingly modification things on forum software which would have to be imported every time the software is getting updated! You know?! smile

http://forum.redump.org/topic/2620/drea … tructions/
it has been discussed here, please read you through and you will find your answer ))

To make it short:
SD card method can be used on titles with 3 tracks. The 2nd track has to be dumped on an ordinary cd-rom drive with offset correction, preferably with over-reading into lead-in, for that please read the cd-rom dumping guide.

http://forum.redump.org/topic/5272/tools-of-the-trade/ link has been updated

I am about to create a new administration/preferences menu.
At this point i am not sure whether it should be for dumpers only
or for all registered users. In both cases in would need a clear separation.

For now i will just post a note i have in my head to not to forget my thoughts ))
There is much more, but it is to late in the night and i want leave shortly.
Please, feel free to post your ideas.

For all registered users:

  • PM/Email notification on mandatory disc changes, datfile related info like: cuesheet, tracks (disabled by default)

  • sorting preference (?)

For dumpers:

  • Set me as image owner by default on every new disc ad i am dumper of (disabled by default)

  • Just changes on your dumps (disabled by default)

track length is miscalculated and perfectrip throws an error because it detects different track modes in the second track. there might be audio silence in-between both data tracks as well.

I began to work on a "pakkman" tool, which was supposed to manage updates from older datfile to the new one, with full image names instead of generic once.

>> pakkiso - for compression purposes only.
>> pakkman - file manager, the idea was/is:
1. to sort out all not matching titles.
2. after comparing the hashes renaming them without(!) a decompression, which works already fine here.
3. for titles where hashes changed or are not matching try an auto-fix, this is the most complicated part, as it has to be done in the proper order, but it is to manage  smile
4. if the first three steps failed, delete or move those to a storage folder.
5. create a log file with all the changes!

that's it!  smile
i hope to finish it someday

rmdtrash.exe was already abandoned in earlier versions! >> handled by -mta=off -mtm=off.
Scrub file attributes pre-compression >> handled program internally too.
check the version file.

a generic hash (.dat) file is included in the latest version, which i may have not released yet, i don't remember exactly.

will take a look later, as i don't remember which new functions were added in the latest (0.4d) release.
