You'll see it in the log after running your ISO in abgx360
SS CRC = blank (RawSS = blank)
SS Media ID: blank (matches game)
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.
Steins Gate is in the dumped list

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

Re: Request: Help complete the abgx360 database (43 replies, posted in 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

Re: Request: Help complete the abgx360 database (43 replies, posted in General discussion)
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)
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

Re: Request: Help complete the abgx360 database (43 replies, posted in General discussion)
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

Re: Request: Help complete the abgx360 database (43 replies, posted in General discussion)
Fantastic to see the amount of help in just a day
I got PM'd a set from another member that has a lot of missing region variants, SSv1 is okay if it's all you have if it's a pressing missed in the DB.
retaliator - your link either was pulled or private

Re: Request: Help complete the abgx360 database (43 replies, posted in General discussion)
XGD3 in the database is missing a few discs - I'm certain their are dumps of all of these discs, though
The ones that have proper scene releases but missing in our db
Ginga Force
A lot of region duplicates, need to write up every XGD3 disc in general then cross reference with all other pressings of the same game

Now that Redump is opening Xbox 360 dat files to the public, for your consideration, post log files for missing games/verification dumps in the hope of getting as close as possible for having all discs being iXtreme/ODE ready. Please, if you have any dumps either in the database already or want to verify against.
Please include two dumps of SS.bin if you're using a Kreon drive, and the standard XBC format Redump log output if not.
Post or PM myself with files attached, and if you'd like your name added to the submission. The database is accessible to anybody, currently our backend does not support manually submitted log files
Lock if this is a conflict of interest - the intent is to compliment Redump, not step on it's toes.
I don't run the project, but am closely involved in hadzz completely self funding the hosting of the project and making the database as accurate as possible.
