Sorry for the many questions, it's important that any information that goes into the database is correct so I would like to check the following:

Can you re-check the serial that is printed on the disc label? There should be 5 digits.

Sir-Sabin wrote:

Label Side Mould SID Code: (REQUIRED, IF EXISTS)

Your disc should have a mould SID on the label side of the disc (in the inner plastic ring area). It may be difficult to read, requiring you to angle the disc until it reflects off the light just right, sunlight is often easier.

Barcode: 8101106604

Please recheck the barcode, and trascribe spaces, e.g. if it looks like "8 10110 6604" then include the spaces. You may also be missing some digits?

Eligibility is defined here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … _Questions

For the following systems we only accept video games and video game related content:

IBM PC Compatible

The primary content of the disc seems to be an interactive story, which is not video game related. While the multimedia CD contains mini-games, they do not seem to be a significant component of the disc, and are not demos for retail games. This is a border case, but I would suggest it is not eligible.

That is not to say all Multimedia CDs are not worth preserving, just that they are outside of the current scope with redump, and not something we have the capacity to process and dat.

This is a verification, there's currently a known bug in MPF where certain discs aren't flagged as full matches (when a track hash matches multiple discs) that has been fixed but is not yet in the current release.
I've moved this thread to verifications.

changing the track 19 cuesheet from MODE0/2352 to AUDIO.

MODE0 is caused by descramble failures. It's likely intended to be MODE2, but due to invalid sync sectors redumper did not descramble it properly. Can you redump with the redumper option --correct-offset-shift, if you still have the scram file you can also just run:
redumper split --correct-offset-shift --image-name=QG5_DEMO

The ringcode is for Mass Effect (Game Disc), but the dump is for the Bonus Disc.

Also, for future verifications please use DIC rather than Redumper until Xbox support is officially stated here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Redumper_status

I just did but still there are about 100 sectors that give either scsi or c2 errors, which is VERY strange, as all other dumping programs don’t report ANY errors.

Can you upload the Redumper or DIC logs from your attempt?
The current entry is blue and an old dump, hence the need to look into this.

It's unusual that both the trusted dumping tools (DIC and Redumper) are giving you errors. While this is just a standard single-data-track PSX disc, I still think this needs looking into.
Could you try dump with Redumper with a higher retry count? Either in the MPF options or --retries=200 if using the command line.

게임 CD와 ODD가 있습니까?

Error count needs to be fixed to the redumper count as per new rules.
The discs also have offset shifts, Redumper is reporting the offset for the user area (at 0 LBA) while DIC reports both offsets (and MPF just takes the first one). So, DIC does not actually have an opinion on which offset to use, we just take the first one (offset at physical start of disc).

========== Offset (Drive offset refers to http://www.accuraterip.com) ==========
     Combined Offset(Byte)  13120, (Samples)  3280
    -   Drive Offset(Byte)    120, (Samples)    30
    ----------------------------------------------
           CD Offset(Byte)  13000, (Samples)  3250
    Overread sector: 6
========== Offset (Drive offset refers to http://www.accuraterip.com) ==========
     Combined Offset(Byte)   1640, (Samples)   410
    -   Drive Offset(Byte)    120, (Samples)    30
    ----------------------------------------------
           CD Offset(Byte)   1520, (Samples)   380
    Overread sector: 1

I don't think redump has a standard yet for which write offset to use, hence this has remained unsolved.

With the latest redumper, it is also possible to 'fix' the offset shift by dumping with

./redumper.exe --correct-offset-shift

Whether this provides a better dump is also not clear.

Of note, since this post was made, another dumper has dumped disc 2 with +2400 offset with DIC and it has been processed: http://redump.org/disc/83566/

This needs further looking into, please don't process this as yet. Thanks.

We do not provide any downloads of copyrighted materials. You cannot download ISOs/ROMs on this site. You can sign up if you have eligble discs you wish to contribute hashes for by dumping them with compatible drives and software.

They are different types of errors. Your 591 error count is likely from ECC errors, that's why your C2 error count is 0.

For submission to redump, please ignore the C2 error count field, that's just to help us when processing.

Hello, your account will be made once an admin can get to it.
In the meantime, if you'd like to discuss Korean PS2 please get in touch with me via the VGPC discord: https://discord.gg/AHTfxQV
I manage the Korean PS2 missing lists and can help you source some games if you live outside of Korea.

Specifically with Ribshark's firmware.

Heya, thanks for posting.

We only add ringcode info for discs that have been dumped and confirmed to match. While it's extremely likely that your disc matches the one in redump, unfortunately your ringcode can't be added unless it was dumped to our standards. This is to ensure that all the data in redump is accurate and trustworthy.
If you do ever get the ability to dump the disc (easiest method is with a homebrew Wii) then let us know and it can be added.

This dump (System Disc 2) was descrambled using the old DIC version and the descrambled dense.bin matched the TOSEC dump hashes.
If anyone else encounters this problem with ice.exe, you can use the files I've uploaded. Place dense.bin in the same folder and run the .bat which will call DIC and produce a descrambled dense.dec

Do you own physical discs and have a method of dumping them in order to contribute to redump?

Hello, there are a handful of PS3 disc entries that do not have disc keys. If a page does not have a disc key, the dumper was not able to dump the key (i.e. it was dumped with a PC bluray drive only). There are also cases where a disc dumps fine but the key had problems being extracted. So you (or someone else) would have to buy the game and verify the dump with the key in order for it to be added to redump.
I don't mean to accuse you specifically of it, but we would also appreciate it if people do not try to contact dumpers for keys or ISOs, thanks.

The game in question: http://redump.org/disc/33636/
The game did not have any languages listed before.
I have confirmed it only has Spanish in-game and have updated the entry.
As there is only one language present, the dat name has not changed.

Why not do so with the disc number?

Some discs do:
http://redump.org/disc/109304/
...
http://redump.org/disc/109315/

---

But some do not:
http://redump.org/disc/115000/
...
http://redump.org/disc/115009/

It may be how they are printed on-disc. I think it is currently inconsistent.
See also: http://redump.org/disc/78652/ which has (Disc X), due to Roman Numerals.

(Track 01) occurs for games with 10 or more tracks, to ensure they will be ordered correctly.
For games with fewer than 10 tracks, there is no need for the leading zero.

Thanks.  No iPhone but several old phones lying around - will have to keep trying. smile

I recommend using OpenCamera app in Android for this purpose: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … &gl=US

If you have an iphone (or other phone with a sufficiently powerful flash/camera), use an app that allows for taking video with the flash on. At the right angle, you can see the ringcodes like in the image attached. It can take a bit of trial-and-error to get the exact angle, but I've found it to be the easiest way.

Submit disc 1 and 2 as verifications, and disc 3 as a new disc.

It sounds like you have a Wii with homebrew. CleanRip is safe to use, it is used by many people here.
CleanRip provides more reliable DVD reading than "dvd dumper" and outputs a log file. That way we can be sure the hashes are correct.

You can get cleanrip here:
