Well, and I still don't know where this PVD data is in this DIC mess hmm
Exact location, please ?

EDIT. Ok but what exactly I should put there to validate data?

Example for interstate '76 install disc:

0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 ?

Simple question - how I can I extract PVD info from IBM PC discs ? Disc Image Creator will do this for me ?

At the moment I don't have access to my plextor (moved into PC at my work) so I can't test DIC.

Another problem (sorry I didn't check entire topic, I may repeated problem already mentioned).

When I use command like:
cd D:
D:\DICnew\DIC.exe cd w GAME 32 /c2 /sf

program crash when "Creating bin, cue and ccd..."



EDIT. Ignore it, works like this nicely:

cd D:
DIC.exe cd w Game\GameDisc 32 /c2 /sf

I have small problem with adding header data into new disc form. What exactly I should copy there ?

Make a video, please. This novus 2 is not available in Poland and import will be rather costly.

I've noticed that if I dump using DiscImageCreator cd W: gamedir\game 4 then dat file is empty but if I use DiscImageCreator cd W: game 4 then dat file is fine. Anyone noticed this?

Apprentice appears to be the same exact edition. Everything is the same except there is additional IFPI 01C6 moulded (the one already in base is not moulded) but maybe this was omitted by gorelord4e. The real problem is all tracks are audio tracks but first track have some datas at the beginning.

After I executed this command I get Combined offset 120, 30 samples but in file [name]_disc.txt. Diggerss/Oscar, Dragonstone and Pirates! Gold (amiga discs) matches base so I'm skipping manual offset. Now let's see on other systems.

EDIT. Ai Chou Aniki and GöTzenDienER (PC Engine CD) are also fine.

EDIT2. Sadly Apprentice (Philips CD-i ready) didn't match base. DIC reported offset 0 instead +222. Should I add anything to commands ?

And if this file does not have offset for my drive ? There is model with ending A but not with ending TA. Should add custom +30?

I tried some audio cd and I get different result when adding /a 30 (drive should have offset 30). Is this /a 30 correct to add or should I leave this option and let DIC decide?

Any specific popular games/disc to test this plextor ?

Machine has XP x64 without any updates but latest service pack. Clean install, minimal drivers and no LAN connected.

Tests in PlexTools Pro XL 3.16 seems to be ok with audio disc that I have right now.

Ok, I've set up hardware:

Core2Duo 4300 (old but I think it's enough since dumping is almost cpu independent)
1 Gb RAM (it's ok?)
Radeon X1550 (does not matter I think)
Plextor PX-W5224TA v1.03

Temporary on Windows XP x64 (is it ok or should I set reinstall x86 edition?)

What information should I post to verify that I did everything fine?

Yeah, I've search forum about this model but informations found this way are insufficient. Only Nexy have some information about this model. According to this info this model should be enough for reading standard CDs.

D8 read command  : Yes
C2 error correction : Yes
Read Offset            : +30
DPM Measurement : Yes
Fast Error Skip       : Yes
Sub Code reading  : Yes

I guess I have to read manual for DIC and perfectrip and start dumping myself.

Since I didn't find any info about Plextor PX-W5224TA I have to ask here. Is this CD-RW good enough for dumping Amiga CD,CD32, CDTV, PS1, PS2, Saturn, PC Engine?

I also have some XBox, Xbox360, PS2 (all dumped) PSP (all dumped), PS3 (don't have BlueRay sadly) and Dreamcast discs but for a moment I don't have any proper DVD reader. Probably one of DVDs mentioned lower will be suitable.

I have option to buy PX-708A (new), PX-760A (used), PX-L890SA (new, manufactured by Lite-On) , PX-806SA (used), PX-891SA (used) PX-740A (used), PX-740A (new), PX-716A (used), PX-712A (used). Some of these are expensive even if are used but I'm willing to buy one if DVD proof to be reliable to dump everything.

Any advise ?
