If you feel overwhelmed by the output DIC is producing then make your forum posts with attachments.
Move the actual images by side (bin & scm files) and compress the rest to a archive.
We prefer dumps with logs anyways.

Okay, that sounds reasonable, I should've thought of it myself lol.

I'm not criticizing anything, I'd just like to contribute more entries to your database. I have around 30-50 games at the minimum that aren't there.

"it uploaded a dozen or so junk files" - what?

I got the full game image twice and a ton of text files with random junk in it like

I don't need any of those. I'm looking for a file that holds the stuff you list for each disc, so i can submit that info. But I'm only finding bits and pieces of those in multiple files, like track addresses in one file, a track hash in another, an image hash in a third.

Am I missing a commandline switch, that will output all the data in a format similar to what you can see on your website?

I don't have time to manually cut and paste all that stuff together from 300kbyte worth of text files. I have something around a hundred discs to dump before I sell them. I'd like to make this as easy as possible.

Not for sale titles (the ones that aren't demos) are mostly dumped (except a few $300+ ones that rarely appear at all).

I did a quick lookup and only saw around 45 in the database out of 250+ that is known to exist. I might have searched the database wrong though. Or are you saying that 200 or so of those secured?

I think the Saturn ones that are still undumped are either secured already or are so rare that they can't be easily found and purchased (unless we're talking about paying the collectors for dumping). FM-Towns section is the one that needs lots of money, because there are hundreds (even thousands) of undumped titles, most of them are very pricey. PSX section also needs Germs and Harmful Park smile

There are still hundreds of common and undumped Saturn titles, like all the Japanese not for sale titles.

I don't see how that message with its broken English is in any way clear, especially since I gave it a number and it ignored it. I don't even want to set the drive speed to begin with, I just want it to read my discs at the maximum allowed speed. Since I'm going to use the same drive, I guess I can just make a batch file with that information pre-filled.

Anyway I got it working, it uploaded a dozen or so junk files. What parameters should I pass to this application, so it doesn't output all that junk, but only a single file that has the necessary information for submission?

Hi, how do I get this program to work? I got the latest stable version from GitHub, but when I try the command:
DiscImageCreator.exe cd o: foo.bin
I get a bunch of text files, but I don't see any hash values to submit in any of them.

I also tried:
DiscImageCreator.exe cd o: foo.bin /c2
but this gives me a bad argument error.

The beeping is also very annoying, but when I try
DiscImageCreator.exe cd o: foo.bin /q
to disable it and run it in silent... it also gives a bad argument error.

It is as if none of the arguments work.

Settlers 3 had a custom protection that altered game logic to make it frustratingly unplayable (smelters produced the wrong items, that made it impossible to produce necessary equipment).
