Turns out it was my Plextor drive. Its working ok for CD dumps but it wont read PS2 discs. After you added the error code output it helped find the problem. I used a different DVD drive and was able to get matching dumps on 3 different PS2 DVD games. No errors or seg faults.

Xbox is same status as before. Dumps are completing, and are the correct size but they have incorrect hashes.

Other then the problem I'm having with Xbox discs the port is starting to look pretty solid!

Ok. I tested the version before your edit and the last one and get the same results.

• CD dumps are looking good. I tested a few PS1 games and a Xbox CD.

• I've tried a couple different PS2 games for DVD dumps and its not quite working. I get segmentation fault error most times trying to start it. Sometimes it will start but the dumped file is way too small, or once it gave me a 46GB file.

• For Xbox games, its the same as before. They seem to get dumped to completion without issue but the hashes don't match. Its reproducing the same incorrect file and hashes each time though.

• Another bug when dumping Xbox games is that the SS.bin file will get dumped into the directory above where you specified. So like there in this picture, I specified that the dump should be started in the Halo_2 folder, but the bin file is residing next to it. It looks like one slash got messed up in the code.

• Lastly a general bug I found. If you put a path in the command for the output file, it creates that full path in the current folder. It doesn't save the file in the existing system. For example if you run this:

cd ~/DIC
sudo ./DiscImageCreator_linux.out xbox /dev/sr1 /mnt/storage/dumps/Halo_2/Halo_2.iso

It doesn't save the file in

/mnt/storage/dumps/Halo_2/

It creates

/home/user/DIC/mnt/storage/dumps/Halo_2/

because ~/DIC was the current working directory when the command was executed.

Thanks for all the work on making a Linux version!

Hello again, thank you for the update. I receive the same error still. The output is unchanged from my last comment so I will not include it again.

Oh I guess I missed that. Its the "Official Xbox Magazine Best of Xbox Game Demos Vol. 1." Here is another photo: https://img.cat/i/cmbyfvj.jpg

Also I got a reply back from the Splinter Cell demo guy. He says hes interested in dumping and submitting it. I linked him to all the appropriate areas. He says he thinks he might still have his old 0800 drive.

How are you deciding based on ringcodes that they are likely only USA releases. By the "-US" in the mastering code? How do you distinguish regions by barcode? Do you have a reference that can be read / used?

Here are some examples I was talking about. All of these don't have any other versions submitted, are marked as World, and are unverified. So by that logic they could not have been verified against other regional variants to conclude that they are in fact World releases.

The actual game version of Band of Brothers: Earned in Blood follows this same scheme.

So really the best / only option is to completely ignore the region lock code, and submit the games from the region they were sold in. Then wait for other people to dump from their region to confirm the dumps match, then the disc is updated to a World region? Maybe we can update the Xbox guide a little bit to reflect that.

To answer your question no I have never seen that before. I thought I was going crazy at first because the photobucket web page was cutting off the bottom half of the image obscuring the Splinter Cell sleeve. I had to right click > view image to see anything useful.

This was the only thing I could find that might be related: https://assemblergames.com/threads/orig … box.59742/

I marked them according to what was in the DMI.bin string. Otherwise no, I don't know that they saw release outside of USA.

Wow those look great! What all did you do differently for those?
