Nope... Absolutely nothing, no executables anywhere. It's just a bunch of game folders and a video game trailer.
I did multiple tries with isobuster, too, and apparently the resulting image file is okay, i've got only one error and consistent hashes.

http://redump.org/disc/27824/ i've dumped the disc myself, so i wonder why you haven't found it previously. try to search for SCES-01518 instead of SCES_015.18

I think that you haven't understood that there's no download of ANY rom file here. Redump is a disc preservation project that consist in a database of hashes for the dumped discs. If you're only interested in downloads you might have to look in other places, surely not here, we're not hosting any data and we don't have anything to download. Please read the disclaimer linked here http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Redump.org

It's not an easy thing to do, simple as that. We can explain it better, we can put screenshots or whatever, but the problem is that you will never find an easy method to dump a disc with physical protection. The method described is already tested multiple times and working. The SOHD drive was tested multiple times in comparison with other CD drives and it's proven to be the best that we know at the moment with LaserLock and ringed discs in general. Me and LoStraniero have dumped tons of FX Interactive games and we know that the method explained is reliable, thanks to the help of the tool from reentrant.
To be honest it doesn't look like the guide is too much hard to follow.
1) do a broken dump with DIC to get the offset, PVD and all that shit
2) dump with CloneCD, it takes three hours or more
3) save the CloneCD logs, sector 1000-3000 were skipped (for example)
4) use the CDArchive command with backwards reading as explained, from sector 3002 backwards
5) repeat the process if needed until you see that your drive won't read anything anymore
6) use again the CDArchive command with reading front (from sector 998)
7) repeat the process if needed until you see that your drive won't read anything anymore
8) merge all the data obtained to get a complete image
9) fix errors with CDMage
10) submit
And also, DVDs are already working without any new drive. You can even use a cheap laptop drive. Just do a dump with CloneCD and then check if you can read some sectors backwards after the CloneCD dump. Most of the time you don't even get much sectors, just two or three more in my experience and in most cases. Just be careful to use the weird .cue file to load the iso inside CDArchive.
I really don't know what else i can do more... the guide follows the exact steps that we're doing. If there's something we can improve please let us know.

*****EDIT*****:
I've added the CDMage informations and link to download to the guide because it wasn't mentioned before.

Okay, but as i've explained that before, i don't really see this as a problem or a mistake.
And covermount should be used, IMHO, just only with the discs bundled with the magazines.
We can write "Bundled with Guide Book", for example, when the disc was bundled with a Guide Book/Strategy Guide or something similar, i don't know, in a similar way as we're doing with bundled Audio and DVD discs, when we're writing "PS2 Game Bundle" or "Bundled with Sony PlayStation 2 Game".

No one ever used "Bundled with Magazine" in PC or MAC datfiles (in the recent history, at least). And fuzzball itself submitted all the Maclife/MacPeople/MacUser discs with the Covermount tag. Why this should be my mistake? I feel like Bart Simpson sometimes.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=37nwLhIA1zs
That's not something i've just invented, i mean, there's even a Wikipedia page on it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Covermount

To be honest after reading this clear description "Bundled with Magazine" seems to be just a fancy way to say the exact same thing...

I'm not sure what happened there with the BestSeller Series (2nd edition), maybe it was used because it's a second print run with a different disc or barcode? It's not uncommon to have different discs for the same "edition", BestSeller Series in this particular case. In regards of the Quake III Arena, i agree that we can rename that, but i've seen different references to Quake III Arena or Quake III: Arena in a lot of websites. Going by the name on Steam and what's written on the cover i would be honestly remove the two dots.

No need to delete them from the forum, we'll gradually remove them when we're going to check and add everything to the database. If you can submit them with the new disc form that should speed up the process. Thank you!

You're right, this SecuROM version is different than the USA, Eur-M3 and German releases.
I've dumped it now with your new version and it's matching the dumps i did with IsoBuster and CloneCD before.

Many thanks for your help!

Yes, i also have a Plextor Premium and i've downloaded the latest firmware from the same website. 1.07 it's the latest version you need.
