Hello and sorry for the delay.  It's great that you already have a Plextor.  Do you plan on dumping and submitting your discs / verifications to the redump database? If so, please bear with us and an admin will approve your account when they can.  Thanks!

After closer inspection - it turns out this disc is indeed dual-layer.  Just a relatively uncommon case where it is so small yet dual-layer.  The rings certainly indicated dual-layer, but we've also seen some disc with 2 "layers" of rings but not actual dual-layer disc.  Anyway, it's a bit confusing, but the disc is in the database now

A request has been submitted to ir0b0t to fix this by changing DVD-5 to DVD-9.

Thanks!

@sarami,

I noticed an issue/bug/etc that started with DIC version 20210601.  When I try to dump certain PC discs, the status reaches "Checking EXE" and crashes immediately and will not dump. 

I believe it is something to do with some file checking or version checking that DIC is doing on files on the disc, and I'm not sure why.

On my current example, I see the line:  AUTORUN.EXE: File Version 4, 0, 0, 1 and then Checking EXE     1,
and then it crashes immediately every time.

I tested dumping on DIC 20210401 and it worked perfectly fine and this file/version checking didn't happen.

The crash occurs in both 0601 and 0701.  Please let me know if you need anymore information.  I've attached logs for the unsuccessful dump on 0601.

SHHHHH!!!! Don't tell people about my horrible experiments! hahahha

We do not store or share actual game data, this is a metadata database.

Redump does not store or provide ISO or game data.

I reviewed several dozen wii entries for mould sid codes, and I believe the pattern is ALWAYS followed of V9[letter][number], with exception to the zeroes that are interpreted that way.

For Wii US, I'm inclined to think all V90 should actually become --> V9O.

I just want to add my 2 cents here.  Please be aware of how this comes across.  I understand we have to have certain standards such as the plextor requirement for standard submissions, but there are ALWAYS going to be some special exception cases, or types of discs that can't be dumped via the normal methods.  And if we make a blanket block on any such submission entirely, there will be a lot of content missing.

I'm not sure if that was your intention, but the statement does appear a bit threatening about nuking large batches of content.  I'm going to assume this is not an actual intention.  We certainly wouldn't make a large decision like that without much discussion and hashing out the details.

I think both you and also user7 have made plenty of great contributions to this project over the years.  Let's not let an issue debate cause any actual contention or issues.

Oh, btw...I think his comment about a good build was talking about his computer.  Not a build of DIC.

Welcome and thanks for your interest!  Please bear with us - an admin will get you setup soon.  Thank you!
