Re: Dump PSX games with ISOBuster (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
Thanks for the quick answer and also precise one.
So if I understand well (it's early the morning for me :-)) ONLY protected games cannot be copied with ISOBuster. Rest would be 100% OK.
Then is there a complete or almost complete list of LibCrypt games floating around. I've no problem to use CloneCD and I will minimize its use. So really for protected games, where as far as I remember these is only a few.
Last and not least, any special config for CloneCD ? Should I use Prtected Games option ? of Data Option ?
Thanks for your help

Topic: Dump PSX games with ISOBuster (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
Well, I need to dump a few PSX games with Audio Tracks. I wonder if using ISOBuster will fit and dump all necessary data in order to:
1) play the game in emulator without any issues
2) reburn the ISO later and play it back on PS1 console
I know that to have a perfect dump I've to follow the method here using ISOBuster and EAC but I do not care for those dumps if the audio is slightly shifter in time of a few microseconds and if the audito track is at 99.9% exact (were majority of people won't notice the difference) :-P
I just need to be sure that all subchannels are dumped with that way ensuring a "near 1:1 copy". I saw a few comment on other forums thta it works and I prefer asking the gurus here, where you know how this really works 
Thanks for any reply/comment

Topic: Freeze with PSXT001Z in Chill (PAL-M5) [SLES-00711] (2 replies, posted in General discussion)
When dumping Chill (PAL-M5) [SLES-00711], I do, as usual --fix and --checksums to get the needed info and as well without parameters to get the info such as the EXE date.
Fix worked fine and cheksums as well (see bellow):
psxt001z by Dremora, v0.21 beta 1
File: Chill (PAL-M5) [SLES-00711].bin
Size (bytes): 140790720 (OK)
Size (sectors): 59860 (OK)
Mode: 2
EDC in Form 2 sectors: NO
System area: Eu NoEDC
Postgap type: Form 1, zero subheader, zero data
Done.
Note that the game has been dumped on 2 different reader, as usual and there is no difference between dumps.
Problem arise when I get the info, here is the output I get from PSXT001Z:
psxt001z by Dremora, v0.21 beta 1
File: Chill (PAL-M5) [SLES-00711].bin
Size (bytes): 140790720 (OK)
Size (sectors): 59860 (OK)
EDC in Form 2 sectors: NO
ID: \SLE-_00.1 <--------- It freeze there
As the dump seems to be okay, I'll post it as dump in the repective section. I will also share it on UG so maybe
Dremora can have a look.
If necessary, I can upload it on a private FTP. Just let me know.

Re: Unable to correctly dump a PSX 1 Track CD (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
Thanks themabus for the answer. This reconfort me in a way that, for single data track, if I extract it from 2 different reader and get the same, then it's 100% dumped.
I'm quite sure I will come back with plenty of question when I will dump multi tracks :-)
Also thanks to fuzzball for your link.
What I do not understand is why there is different versions (in that case at least 2) of that game where the date is the same. I would understand if this is V1.1 with an older date for exemple, but here how is it possible ?
Normally, there should be only 1 glassmaster produced when game goes gold ... Is it something which is often the cases or only a few games have different version (with same exe date) ?
Well, still a lot to understand with these redump processes :-) Interesting, for sure :-)

Topic: Unable to correctly dump a PSX 1 Track CD (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
Well, I tried to dump "Rittai Ninja Katsugeki: Tenchu SLPS-01272" and get an additional sector at the end (full of zero!)
It's a 1 track CD.
I followed the Converting tutorial from Rocknroms but without success. I tried to resize the bin by removing the unnecessary sector (resize -r -2352 "cd.bin") (also tired with the track.bin) but without success.
When scanning with psxt00lz I get the following:
Size (bytes): 545118336
From image: 545120688
Size (sectors): 231768
From image: 231769
EDC in Form 2 sectors: YES
ID: SLPS-01272
Date: 1997-10-16
System area: Jap EDC
Where both size and sectors fits the redump DB but still I do not understand the From image comment !
I also tried to fix the image, using psxt00lz but without success.
Any help welcome.
Thx

Topic: [PSX] Different version of games ? (2 replies, posted in General discussion)
I notice that there is some dump which have a version number such as Dino Crisis (U) (v1.1) [SLUS-00922]. Does this mean it is a redump as V1.0 was badly dumped or is it a real update from editor ?
If this is the first case, who can we find redump reason (v1.0 to V1.1 for exemple) ?
If this is the second case, how do we see version ?
Thanks to bring me light
