I am trying to use DiscImageCreator to dump the high density area of a retail GD-ROM disc, but I am not having any success.
According to the wiki, it is supported. I have followed the steps for Method 3. I was able to successfully dump it with dcdumper, but would like to dump it DiscImageCreator. My drive is a TSSTcorp SH-D162C aka TS-H352C with Kreon firmware.

Does it means you have the weird disc? If yes, upload logs plz.

If a track has an invalid ISRC code (example: "0@4010000000"), will that mean DiscImageCreator will not add it to the cuesheet?

Added. Not test.

The read retry value I provided was ignored, perhaps it is hard-coded to always attempt no more than 5 retries?

Should support for the /rr flag be added for dumping xbox and xbox 360 discs?

I saw a TS-H353A on eBay a few days ago, although it recently sold.
I had no problem finding a TS-H352C on eBay and bought one for $11 shipped last week.

The simple solution would be to allow images attachments, like DAT-o-MATIC,

Agreed, being able to attach multiple images to a submission/verification that persist like no-intro would be a no-brainer and would be best.

I've been doing experiments in switching between using my Plextors and my WH14NS40 crossflashed to a BW-16D1HT for various rips. One thing that periodically comes up is the inability for the BW-16D1HT drive to dump some discs due to a "this drive can't read into lead out" message from DIC. I thought the /mr switch was meant to resolve this error by reading into the lead out by reading from the cache? However, for this zero offset disc I just recently tried to dump, even /mr wouldn't allow the disc to be dumped due to the "can't read into lead out" error.

Is there some other steps I'm supposed to be doing to dump such discs?

I've had the same problem with several discs, mostly audio CDs, but one of them I encountered today was a single-track data CD-ROM disc (an old clip art CD-ROM from 1995). Even if I have it retry the cache a thousand times, DIC is unable to get enough from the cache for it to proceed.

Were you able to run MPF and dump your PS4 discs?

I own at least three audio CDs where dumping with my BW-16D1HT and the /mr flag is always unable to proceed with dumping the disc (Cache is short), even with 999 retries. Each and every time, the cache result is the same. I have also tried power cycling the drive and trying again. I successfully dumped these audio CDs with my Plextor, so if there is interest I can share those logs.

Tell me the drive name and firmware before a flash, plz.

The drive originally came with firmware v3.10.
Drive name? It is a BW-16D1HT/BLK/G/AS

sarami wrote:

btw, what drive and os do you use?

ASUS BW-16D1HT
90DD0200-B28000
Manufactured April 2021
Firmware v3.02
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium

I’ve run it 30 times so far, and no bad dump yet. I had a batch file running it consecutively with 60 seconds to cool down between iterations. I don't think it's going to give me a bad dump at this point.

@bikerspade
If you have time, continue to dump your +1176 disc by ASUS until the hash unmatches, and upload the unmatched logs, plz.

No problem, I will do that and report back.

I remember trying to dump one of my PS1 discs with a PX-716UF and it threw many unrecoverable C2 errors. Recently I tried again with my new 16D1HT and it dumped it successfully without a single C2 error.

reentrant wrote:

In the other thread I described what was the problem with ASUS drives (problems with locating data offset in cache). If this is handled correctly the dumps should be safe.

Problem = data in cache can sometimes be shifted by 1 (or more?) sectors. It's mandatory to parse cache data (subs) to locate correct offset instead of blindly assuming the offset.

Do we know when this problem is occurring?

I redumped [IBM PC] Imperialism: The Fine Art Of Conquering The World (USA) with my ASUS BW-16D1HT. This disc has an offset of +1176, with audio tracks. It matches the dump from my Plextor PX-716UF.
