Hi, your submission is fine but if you want to do any future submissions (or redo this one, optionally), you can use MPF.Check on Mac with the following builds. The Mac builds for MPF do not get much testing so if you do get it to work (or something doesn't work) then let us know. It's a command-line tool only as the GUI is Windows only, but its pretty simple to use. Unzip MPF.Check and open the terminal in that folder, then run

./MPF.Check umd psp /path/to/dump.iso

MPF.Check will work with preparing submissions for other discs you may dump too, not just PSP.

Arm Mac:

This dump is from a DIC version that is too old to be accepted for DVD-Video.
I highly recommend using the latest MPF 3.3.0 and dumping with Redumper if it is possible.

This dump will remain yellow until a redump with Redumper is made: http://redump.org/disc/121040/

This disc should match the existing entry. It's likely that if you dump it with DIC, then it would match redump.
The difference is to do with data sectors in the abnormal track 1 pregap (225 sectors).
DIC made changes for this particular disc: https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImag … it/d6252ff

I would be interested in how redumper is treating it, whether redumper needs a fix or if the DIC dumps are bad. My instinct is that the redumper dump is good, but it needs to be reviewed. If you are able to share the PPF, it would help me. Latest redumper (build 438) may or may not dump differently than your build 311 dump above as well.

It's likely that http://redump.org/disc/62014/ (Implode) would act similarly if dumped with redumper, as its from the same company.

Interesting, I have never encountered that before.
I have removed it, hopefully it fixes RSS..

I confirmed that dumping an Audio CD with an illegal toc (e.g. CDS200) with a Plextor W4824 works when providing the /fulltoc flag.
Thank you sarami.

I'm still interested to know if anyone else can replicate Securom issues with the 4824.

CUE downloads are now working again

Hi, in the meantime you can download dats and cues from the mirror site: https://redump.info/downloads/

Realistically, the dump contents wouldn't need to be 100% correct

The guest forum is not the place to discuss this, but I really don't want misinformation out there so I want to clear this up. Any talk of a potential file being generated that matches all 3 hashes and a file size is just academic. The three hashes are sufficient for long term preservation. MD5 and SHA1 are not "broken" for pre-image attacks. It is unequivocally infeasible to generate a file that matches a redump dat. Adding new hashes is a waste of time.

Https point 1: Yes, I understand that it can happen, I'm not suggesting that sticking to http-only is good, just that it's okay to use the site. You can use the site under sandbox if you are that paranoid, but the risk of that is way lower than many other threat vectors.
Https point 2: I understand you said it was unlikely but that scenario is hilarious. No-one is going through the effort to hijack http just for that smile

Even if you were to construct a file with identical size and three hashes (not feasible), you would also have to make the structure of the dump contents look correct. Besides, we want checksums, not secure cryptographic hashes. The hashes are to protect against read errors during a dump, not against someone constructing a file to match the hashes. Redump does not share ISOs.

All of this is besides the central point that we cannot change the redump.org website functionality at the moment because the website owner is AWOL

Hi, welcome to redump. An admin should be able to get you setup soon, we hope you can contribute.

https is a long-requested feature by many that the website owner (single person) has yet to implement. I'm aware that it has deterred many from the site which is unfortunate. The website still functions just fine despite it not having https. Regardless of https or not, you should be using a secure password that is not used elsewhere. Other than the password, there is no other concern of insecure information transferred between redump servers and your computer, so there is no real benefit anyway (beyond stopping your browser's annoying messages about it). All that is to say it's a feature we all want but it shouldn't be something to stop you from using the site. The issues with email are a much bigger problem...

Regarding other hashes, there is very little benefit to using better hashes. The combination of CRC32/MD5/SHA1 and size (in bytes) is enough to uniquely identify a dump across a database with all the discs that have ever been pressed. Larger hashes like SHA-512 take longer to compute and are less compatible with some software, for no benefit. If you'd like to discuss this more you can join the VGPC discord server (or IRC channel if that's your thing instead)

Diablo II (USA) (Play Disc). Serial is S7092920. If it's dumped by PX-755, it's no error. But this may be a problem with my PX-4824.

I dumped Diablo II (Korea) (Play Disc) just fine with my 4824 http://redump.org/disc/119191/

It's TOC that I mention, not FULL TOC

Yes I can confirm that the 4824 does get the wrong TOC for Label Gate and CDS200, splitting the scram into bin with --force-qtoc on redumper fixes it.
However the Full TOC shouldn't be used by default, redump uses TOC splits.

sarami, your github README mentions that 4824 is not good for "Securom 3"

Protected CD:

  • SecuRom 3

    • PLEXTOR PX-4824A (ecc/edc of the 2 sector doesn't match)

  • CDS100, CDS200, Label Gate, XCP

    • PLEXTOR PX-4824A (doesn't get the TOC correctly)

Which particular discs did you encounter that had issues? I have not encountered any yet.

Also, regarding CDS100/CDS200/Label Gate/XCP, using the Full TOC works with the 4824 to get matching hashes. And only XCP1 has illegal TOC (retail XCP discs use XCP2 which does not have an illegal TOC, 4824 has no problems with them).

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 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.
