Nearly every disc has an internal serial, we should add al those as well, and only access to the image not the actual disc is needed.

And some internal serials match or are close to the one on the disc, but not always.

Looks like they are either in the pipeline or maybe gone walkies, but thanks for dumping these, especially the Mai-Otome HiME disc.

If anyone is interested in doing the disc cleaning like me, and have at least 100 discs they would like to try.

It may be worth me putting together a cleaning kit with everything you need -minus the drill, all the prices for the stuff you need are in the links.

But basically it would cost, £15 for novus 1+2 (forget 3) £10 for one buffing pad, and about £10 for 3x lambs wool type, shoe polish is cheep, and I could supply some of the extracted brasso liquid for about £2, the ikleen is about £6 and then all you need is the rubber pads that the lambs wool bonnets go on probably you would get 2-3 of these for £10

So everything you need and more you would be looking at £50 and your own drill, other than that its really easy, you can't really fail as most of the work is done by the drill, ok their are some tips and tricks that will help along the way, but once you suss it out for yourself you are laughing.

Put it this way, I paid more for a drive just to dump PS3 BluRays, and I put this to way more use than that drive.

So £50 plus a bit of postage, and you have your disc cleaning machine.

Anyone interested in a kit let me know.

Thanks, I will just wait it out Its not life or death.

Going to try my hand at some videoing tonight.

Got one Nintendo GameCube game working using iKLEEN – Scratch Removing Polish, giving the Wii game another go, after a polish it gave up 5 minutes from the end, first clean. Second clean looks like the scratches from the outer edges have gone, will be a 2nd miracle if it works.

Got the Wii disc working 2nd go, that's 2 in the bag, got a few more of the sort that refuse to dump, will give you any news, and hopefully we will get the odd new dump of these dead discs.

Got one more Wii game working, and one PS2 game, both games I had already tried a fair bit to get going, and in the end gave up, I even took the Wii game back to the shop, and they buffed it for free on their machine, but it still wouldn't dump, so getting this going quite easily using the iKLEEN is pretty hard-core, if a machine in a shop couldn't do it.

I did manage to wreck the surface on one Saturn game that had bad marks on it, don't know what actually wrecked it, think it was a combination of things, but its worse than it was before, I will probably try to sell it to a game shop with a machine, and let them deal with it.

Your systems ok for dumping but 1gb of ram will make it a bitch to use, 2gb is much better, one I use for cd based dumping only has 2gb, other than that everything else should be fine.

It may be worth taking your time but getting all the windows updates, set it up with everything you need, defrag the c drive, and generally optimise it. During this period you should have had long enough to see if it runs fine or whether their are any serious issues.

A machine for dumping doesn't need to be power full, but stable wouldn't hurt.

Don't they take about 2hrs per disc to make, like when I dumped neo-cd games?

One drive worth considering, is one drive for 3 hard to dump systems, the drive I would recommend is the TSSTCorp SH-D162D, that can dump xbox and xbox 360, and should also be able to dump Dreamcast games, you are actually better with an SH-D162C for Dreamcast, but that's not much good for 360, or xbox. I think it will dump them using minesweeper and possibly older xboxbackupcreator, but it can't dump ss.bins either, but for Dreamcast it is better than the D model.

I have 2x of Each, they aren't a very reliable drive, not well built, but I currently have one D for xbox and one C for Dreamcast. The other two are for if these two fail at some point.
