I haven't been able to find info of the purpose of the toolstamp. What exactly does it represent, and why does it vary even with identical discs?

I've found a game possessed by me that isn't on the database: Homeworld EU (English).
Using the guide on the wiki, I have successfully dumped a file and checked its MD5 hash.
The offset value is listed as mandatory, but the guide didn't go through that with data only discs. Knowing the disc creation date would also come in handy. I'll report a full dump if I receive instructions on how to do the rest of the mandatory info.

I am currently using an XJ-HD166S. Old stuff.
Are there any drives besides Plextor with great compatibility?

Blue Shift gave me the same trouble, but it doesn't seem to have any tracks, neither on the database or on my disc, though the US version does have music. I guess this is an oversight of Sierra.

I'm also trying to dump some Half-Life PC discs. I see you have already dumped some on the database, but various discs give an unreadable sector error at 99% when I use IsoBuster. Care to help a newbie out?

Topic: PS2 game versions (11 replies, posted in General discussion)
I just recently found this site, good to see that people care about preserving discs.
I was looking at some different PS2 titles, and I noticed that not all have version 1.00 available. This made me wonder if there is any way to know if earlier (or later) versions of the same game exist.
For example, NTSC Half-Life is dumped as version 2.40, but I suspect that there is a version tagged .10. Whether this is a real version, a leak, or a fake, I don't know.
