Yes, "HDR-0007-0050A" (V1.009) needs a verification:

Use this adapter. It is redumper-compatible and does not block the molex power connector on IDE Plextor drives.

Thank you for confirming. I’m not sure what the correct behavior should be, even if it would be limited to some drives.

When dumped with DiscImageCreator, it does not produce a CATALOG in the cuesheet. When dumped with redumper, it does. Which one is correct?

BIN/CUE (MODE 2352) produced by redumper or DiscImageCreator (the hashes datted on Redump) are not conversions of ISO (MODE 2048), nor is the ISO format produced by these tools.

It works with build 20230606, so there was a regression at some point afterwards.

Excellent, when I re-dumped with the /c2 flag re-enabled, CD+G works.

I saw something odd in the _20240216T230252.txt file (see the last line below):

Does not work. I tested with the latest nightly build of ares with its CD+G support for MegaCD.
When I replaced the DIC-generated .sub with the one generated by CloneCD, CD+G works.

You can test CD+G for yourself with the nightly build here: https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/r … ag/nightly

DIC sub CloneCD_sub
In _subReadable.txt, I noticed it is not logging any TV-GRAPHICS instructions for track 01, even though the first track of this disc has CD+G content.

Is this the correct command syntax, or is there a particular flag I need to provide for "Pack mode sub"?

cd H:\ Information Society - Information Society (USA).bin 8 /q /s 2

Do you know if DiscImageCreator is stripping out subcode channels R through W in the .sub file?
I recently dumped a CD+G disc with both CloneCD and DiscImageCreator. Testing the ccd/img/sub produced by CloneCD on my Sega Saturn produces the graphics I expect. With the ccd/img/sub produced by DiscImageCreator, it does not produce any graphics whatsoever, as though it was a plain audio CD.

I would ask in VGPC discord.

A simple windows batch script that will recompress .zip to .7z (depending on where 7-zip was installed, you may need to edit the paths):

@echo off
for %%F in (*.zip,*.rar) do ( "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -y -o"%%F_tmp" "%%F" * & pushd %%F_tmp & "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -y -r -t7z -mx9 -md1024m -mfb256 ..\"%%~nF".7z * & popd & rmdir /s /q "%%F_tmp" )

Or the following, which will automatically split the 7-zip into 2000000-byte chunks that can be directly attached to the post:

@echo off
for %%F in (*.zip,*.rar) do ( "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" x -y -o"%%F_tmp" "%%F" * & pushd %%F_tmp & "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe" a -y -r -t7z -mx9 -md1024m -mfb256 -v2000000b ..\"%%~nF".7z * & popd & rmdir /s /q "%%F_tmp" )

You can re-compress zip files to 7z which can sometimes result in file sizes being reduced below the 2000000 byte limit (~1.90MB) per file.

With this drive, bruteforce.py became stuck after several hours so I killed it and copied the console output to the log file manually (killing the process did not flush any of the log output to it).
