A handful of dumpers have been having issues specifically with the StarTech board you can grab on Amazon for a bit over $20 - this has a JMB368 controller, but it "should" apply to any given PEX2IDE adapter. Specifically - the adapter seems to be very compatible with any given IDE optical drive you throw at it, but the read/write speeds are "very" poor, similar to PIO4 mode speeds or as if the drive is perpetually stuck in a 2x CD-ROM read speed average regardless of parameters used.

Additionally, I had minor stability issues on my setup using a 12th gen Intel CPU/motherboard that also seem to be caused by how this card operates in Windows by default when dumping discs - this also seems to fix those issues if you've had any issues on that end.

The "fix" is just manually replacing the generic "Standard Dual Channel IDE Controller" you'll have appear in device manager with an official driver from 2009 (1.17.49.4) - extract the files from the linked cab archive (direct from Microsoft Update Catalog, it's signed/legit etc.) to any given dir and manually update the driver by pathing to the folder with the cat/inf/sys files.

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.co … x?q=jmb36x

The entire set of drivers can be found here - since MS doesn't denote what version or x86/x64 variation as is here's an image for reference.

https://i.imgur.com/2bj8iCY.png

The newer drivers seemingly either fail to install (Device already has best available drivers installed) or simply fails outright. This specific revision for whatever reason replaces the generic one without issue and works as expected. If you want to poke at the later versions, be my guest!

Attached a .7z with both x86/x64 drivers included taken from the MS .cab archives if you prefer. Hope this helps anyone wanting to have an internal Plextor/Kreon/whatever in a modern machine without hunting for a SATA model like myself, or did so and has lived the past year with awful read speeds for CD dumping. tongue

Seemingly the only thing stopping me from getting this to work is "datafile.dtd" pointing to the now dead logiqx.com - it pulls this from the DAT file itself so redirecting it (pulled from archive.org) "should" be possible, but I can't parse the "PUBLIC" identifier - SYSTEM is obviously pointing to a URL, but I assume these both have to be corrected for the application to parse the path to the datafile correctly (?)

Hoping to get this sorted, at the very least it's a good alternative for verification dumps if you already have a Plextor and a Dreamcast - happy to fill out the existing guide as well http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … ping_Guide

Holy shit

A handful of these files are extremely appreciated - Japan/Asia has the biggest amount of missing titles and dupes, thank you.

I'm doing the bulk of additions to the project while hadzz is host/working on the application itself. If you don't want to upload yourself, that's fine, I've been crediting each member as mentioned and I'm sitting on hundreds of discs still, amazing

The compromise would be something like

XGD3 Kreon - effectively useless
Kreon - not as accurate, but should be archived if there's no SSv2
0800 - more accurate and replaces a Kreon rip (that has not gotten used with ss_sector, which downgrades it to a Kreon rip for the purpose of a matching hashes - RawSS is the only hash which should be denoted)

Already noted in the wiki.

Mods can choose not to add hashes for Kreon XGD3 ss.bins.

But then you're missing information from the disc - which defeats the entire point of ripping the disc for preservation. It shouldn't be preferred to dump with inferior tools at the expense of accuracy.

The big stuff

Kreon drives cannot rip Xbox 360 stealth files correctly. The hash is auto generated
ss_sector_range is making SS.bin read out false values for a hash that isn't accurate to the dump
XGD3 rips with Kreon should be removed entirely, as the hash can never be valid.

hadzz explains why this doesn't work... did some tests on my own xgd3 disc comparing 0800 and kreon, abgx360 does do a reasonable at rebuilding the replay table (with some differences, that I don't know if they're major or minor) but there's missing data on the top of the file too, so the SS CRC (not raw) wouldn't even match an 0800 rip

In short, while the hashes for Redump's disc images are "correct" the majority of the discs security sectors in the database are either

Incorrect
Zeroed for having a normal hash despite the console not expecting a table with zero deviation
Incorrect from using a ripper that wasn't even created for the purpose of ripping XGD3 discs

Kreon drives were used for Xbox. For all Xbox 360 discs, they were a temporary solution for piracy/back ups and were entirely dropped by scene, ABGX, and pretty much everybody else.

Yeah, we need a new page for Xbox 360 specifically - when you dump your files for the purpose of ABGX, the SS from your disc is more "valid" than "cleaning" one.

So more or less, it's a conflict of what is more proper. Getting a clean CRC32 from a SS file, but tampering it after ripping (0800, if using a Kreon it guesses values) or not having a 1:1 match but much closer to proper, with the issue being conventional hash checking won't work rather using RawSS needs to be implemented, maybe a app can be made for it

Flip the aux power to on
Manual power on or off

Good progress - support for user accounts is added now, if you want to manually upload your dumps - it just reads out the CRC and uploads the SS/DMI/PFI, not the entire disc by yourself just PM me and I'll have hadzz create you a username and pass

16 verified in the past 10 days - and so much to do still. Thanks to everyone willing to help out

SS looks valid

Different hash is normal - by design, SS files will almost always have a different hash, as the value pressed on the disc is close to impossible to read 1:1

So that's fine - what you're looking for is the RawSS in abgx - if it matches, then your dump is good.

It's not difficult - you want either a BenQ or Lite On drive from a fat console

You can use built in SATA if your mobo is old enough or get a USB Pro - the process is the same regardless

Open XBC, extract SS/DMI/PFI from the disc - that's it. If your dump doesn't match the file in the DB, it's likely an undocumented pressing. The game in question is uncommon, so it's possible it's just an undumped disc. Post it here if you want and I can reference it from the copy I have

Yeah - the Cave collection is missing Akai Katana content on the reissue in 2014 - The copy in the boxset is the original disc, and getting the new disc required a send in to Cave - which is incredibly rare and Cave printed low numbers.

Title ID/Disc ID is parsed from the DMI on upload - something that wasn't in the official submission page
More trickling of entries
Kreon dumps are now accepted either modified or not - tldr, every Kreon rip is "guessing" what angle the disc has, so it basically is a wash regardless of what drive or if it has zeroed out portions. They're not ideal but as with all current DB entries, if we can get a SSv2 these get added over the pre-existing files

Go to forum: General discussion

SSv2 isn't affected - I noticed this, but wasn't sure why some files were being modified

Regardless - it's problematic for Xbox 360 dumps to create false hashes - these discs are pressed with a certain level of deviation per game, and the drive on a real console has this expectation. It makes archiving harder, but as of now Redump doesn't even include these for their disc hashes anyway.

The files will work, it's just less accurate than the files as ripped with a specific value. Inherently it's how these discs are pressed, reading out that sector is rarely going to read 1:1 from it's pressing. The best solution going forward is to encourage using 0800 firmware/XBC for Xbox 360, and Kreon for anything OG Xbox.

The database is starting to populate with entries from the community. It's manual between myself and hadzz for now, however some back end work for anyone wanting to add themselves is coming eventually, so ideally we'll have credentials for Redump members if they would like to directly add new dumps

it might not be your dumps - a few liteon 0800 are coming back really close to proper targets but the ss sector range is 100% modifying every single SS you throw into it. I'll make a thread about this with more details since this doesn't effect patching on the grounds of running on real hardware, and could be up to your opinion

From hadzz,

so at address 0x0228, that is for angle 1. in the top files (untouched) it says the first measurement is 02 (a deviation of 1 degree) and the second measurement is 02 (1 degree dev)

https://i.imgur.com/0Q30cpu.png

then the bottom is after running it through ss_sector_range.exe, it sets that first measurement to 1 (0 deviation) and the second measurement is wiped out
red indicates difference, everything else is untouched besides the angles
this isn't a very good example because the only deviation is in angle 1, but you get the idea

slowly getting stuff added, though something was caught that is... pretty bad

ss_sector_range completely zeroes the SS angle table - while getting some of retaliator's dumps tested, the tables were dead on consistent

it's pretty much not possible to get a 1:1 dump of a SS, the zeroed out files do work, but are less accurate than a ssv1 clean - for xbox 360 titles going forward, please keep your untampered security sectors, and if possible, get a 0800 - retaliator, by chance do you have your discs or original SS files? - sorry to bother, but it would be better to add these into the db
