tossEAC you never did mention if that 360 drive could overread.

Interesting...I'll see how this works on my 3 PSX consoles.

Basically I'm going to the select menu on my custom firmware and changing the USB Device to UMD Disc and when I go to the drive on my computer I get an ISO file. I tried running the dumper that is listed on the forums but even with Time Machine installed I can't seem to get it to run to see if the dump from USB is the same as from that program.

For the most part yet but I think that using a MDS file from an Alcohol 120% dump should allow it to be decrypted. I've made full dumps with Alcohol 120% using the mds/mdf format and DVD Decrypter was able to fully decrypt the image. I may see if this works using a 1:1 dump and modifying the MDS file to point to the ISO file instead of the MDF file.

The drives I use for swapping tend to only show scrambled data on burned discs but show the data normally on pressed discs (I've tested this using a burn and original copy of a PC game I have). Sector 192819 may be showing as unscrambled because it comes just before a real audio track and the drive may be picking up on this and choosing to give you the unscrambled sector. This is only my theory though and I don't exactly have anything to back it up.

I think this is going to the extreme of only using the title from the game's menu. Remember there are even games that don't show any title on the menu and what you are having us add and take away completely changes the games title in a way it doesn't need to be changed.

After looking around a bit I would have to say the only game I'm going to have to agree on the name change here is Activision Classics as a quick google search shows the title for that game as 'A Collection of Activision Classic Games for the Atari 2600' which is also what seems to be on the actual disc cover so I'm wondering how it got so simplified.

I'm going to leave the name change for this game up to others though.

Armorines: Project S.W.A.R.M.:
This title is listed on the cover of all versions of this game and this title is used for every site that mentions it so I think the current title is fine

Apocalypse:
The words above the title on the menu do not appear to be part of the title. Instead they seem to be words to describe the concept of the game.

Barbie: Gotta Have Games:
Just like Armorines this title is on the cover and is listed on every site that mentions is. Besides you do want to know this is a Barbie game beforehand right?

Backstreet Billiards:
The BB on the 8 ball appears to be more of a fancy logo rather then being part of the title.

Are you sure it's copy protection? Not every copying program uses C2 error correction after all and I doubt that even the PSX reads that data. Have you tried burning your dump and testing it on the original hardware?

nullDC is a new Dreamcast emulator that can use gdi files with a special plugin that is included with it so you can play the game in it's original GD-ROM format.

Oh wow I must have missed those talks in the IRC. That is suspicious and completely goes against what this project is trying to accomplish. It makes you wonder what else is wrong with some dumps in the database.

Pregap: only needed for games with audio tracks and taken from the cuesheet that you are expected to post for games with audio tracks
Length: calculated by the database using the size of the track (so you don't need to post this yourself as you are already posting the track length)
Anti-modchip: I'm not exactly sure how to determine this other then trying to run a burned disc on a modded PSX that doesn't have a stealth mod chip
LibCrypt: you can use the libcryptdrvfast command to scan for this (psxt001z --libcryptdrvfast D; where D is the drive letter where the PSX disc is located), simply post the info from the sectors.log file that is created when running that command

Also be sure that the size of the track is the Size and not Size on disk in the file properties in Windows (if you are using the file properties to check the size that is).
