How many sectors are detected as bad?  Is it just 110740 or is it many of them?

Unfortunately there are a lot of variables here - do you have another drive to test it on?  Even a non-plextor / non-redump drive just to see if it can read/dump the disc with no errors/unreadable sectors?  It's also possible it is a mastering issue.

Can you please submit the logs with these?  I notice that there are some proposed corrections to existing items, as well as existing entries with missing items such as PVD, where the logs will provide that information.

Hey there, what version of DICUI are you using?

I know that this was an issue on some previous versions.  You might want to try the latest DICUI 1.17.1 and see if that fixes the problem:

If you are still having issues with it after that, let us know!

For those of you wondering about the PS1 method I've been using to easily get ringcodes, this is VERY similar to what I've been doing, and it works extremely well.

The attached photo is acquired using only my cellphone.  No special bulbs, IR flashlight, other hardware, or even post-photo modifications on this one.

In my opinion, Region [as it relates to game releases] should be distribution, not where it was manufactured, assembled, etc. 

If a game was ONLY sold in a certain region, and we have proof of that, then that country is where the region should be.  If it is sold in multiple regions (without packaging variance), that is another story.

I don't know the details about this particular example, nor am I an expert in unlicensed, but if it truly was only distributed in the USA, then it should be USA Region and not Europe.

so, I already submitted this information to DICUI for update, but I wanted to share here also.  I was talking with Enker about the layerbreak information for xbox discs, and apparently people (myself included until I discovered the issue) have been submitted the incorrect layerbreak for xbox discs, when they should essentially all be the same default one. 

Here is what Enker shared with me:

"Hey, yes the DICUI layerbreak for Xbox/Xbox360 (and also Blu-ray discs) is incorrect. It's caused by DIC reporting two layerbreaks, one for the video partition and one for the game partition (DICUI uses this one). It never logs the actual layerbreak that takes into account the video partition+middle zone that comes before the game partition. If you add the video LayerZeroSector + Middle Zone + game LayerZeroSector, then you get the default value on the disc page.

DICUI could omit the layerbreak for Xbox/Xbox360/Blu-ray discs, since we never need to enter one for those discs."

As I said, I've already sent this to DICUI to pull the correct one, but I wanted to share with you as well sarami, in case anything has to be done on the DIC side.

The correct layerbreak is apparently the default of 1913776, and not the 1715632 that often/sometimes gets reported.

I was having the same problem - but I tried with the new test version you shared here - and it worked.  Thanks!

superg is an awesome PS contributor.  Let's get him some access!

Works for me!

As I said before - I don't really have an issue with the change itself so if this enables more consistency - sounds good!
