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?

Disc Serial: C3V-00003

Is this the serial on the spine of the case?

Could you confirm that there is no hyphen before L0?

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.

Region: World

Could you specify the region of your disc rather than the region in redump or the region restrictions?

StriderSkorpion wrote:

Note: I set the region based on the code in DMI.bin. If this is wrong, please let me know and I will fix the logs.

The region for any submission to redump should be the region of the disc you dumped.
You can usually tell the region by the age rating, barcode, NTSC/PAL label, cover language, and/or where you bought it from.
In your case, I believe it should be USA, you can tell by checking to see if the disc/cover art has an ESRB logo.

I have built MPF 3.1.9 for .NET 6.0, in case that helps:
https://github.com/Deterous/MPF-Legacy/ … tag/v3.1.9

MPF 3.1.9 should still work on Windows 7 SP1 64bit, even if it is unsupported.
You should install .NET8 runtime: https://dotnet.microsoft.com/en-us/down … -installer
You will need to disable strong name validation, by adding the following registry keys:

    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\StrongName\Verification\*,31bf3856ad364e35]
    [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\StrongName\Verification\*,31bf3856ad364e35]

If you cannot get it working, just ask.

Thank you for all your Xbox360 dumps.
I have added support for Xbox Backup Creator to MPF's "Check Dump" feature.
https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/tag/3.1.9
All you have to do is pass it your XBC ISO/Logs/etc, and it will help you format a submission info, to help you with submissions.
Please let me know if you have any problems with it, I added a small section to the dumping guide: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … _Info:_MPF

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.

Sorry, it was a mistake on my part. It's clearly "SEGA4407RE125 R8C   MFD BY JVC" like in the database. The tool stamp code should also be 13 and not 31, I believe. I've edited my post with the corrected information.

Could you please share a photo of this ringcode?

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:
https://github.com/emukidid/cleanrip/releases/tag/2.2.0

If you'd like to contribute, the easiest way is to please make an account on the forum then dump the disc with CleanRip on a Wii and post the CleanRip dumpinfo.txt and .bca files to the forum. You will also need to post the ringcodes on the back of the disc, more info is here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … ii_Console
If you have any questions about the process, just let us know.

Verification of http://redump.org/disc/83693/
Moving this thread to the verification forum.

Sorry, the reason you were unable to see this entry is because the DVD-Video entries are only able to be viewed by Dumpers. It is not your fault.
I have since processed a verification of yours and made you a Dumper, so you should be able to see it now.

1. Region is defined as the place the game was sold/marketed for/available in, not the regional restrictions of a console (e.g. PSX). Some PSX PAL discs were only sold in specific regions (e.g. Sweden, France as you've said), and did not receive Europe-wide releases, so are listed on redump by the more specific region identifier. An example would be http://redump.org/disc/6858/ which is the European release but only had English language available. http://redump.org/disc/18697/ is the French release with only French language, so is labelled as France in redump. Another example: There are a few Korea-region PSX discs that run on NTSC-J consoles that were only sold in Korea: http://redump.org/discs/system/psx/region/K

2. EXE date is the file date for the executable file on the disc, not exactly the disc the CD was printed but it gives some indication. The PVD date is another indicator as to which disc is "newer". Where revisions are clear, redump labels them as you've mentioned. In the case of Armored Core (USA), the EXE date is identical and the Reprint's PVD date is not valid, it is not a clear revision. Reprint is labelled as "EDC: Yes" which is my guess as to the difference between the disc dumps, it is likely the actual game content is the same, however I am not 100% sure on this. So for these alt/rerelease/reprint versions, so it is up to you.

3. You can view a single category in redump with http://redump.org/discs/system/psx/category/Games or you can filter the redump PSX dat by category using your dat tool of choice.

For the purposes of verifying your own dumps, if you get the same hash as redump on any drive, you can be confident the dump is good. For redump, only the drives listed on the wiki are acceptable. All other drives have a variety of feature support, and redump does not recommend anything in particular.

Interesting!

You also mentioned on github that IRDs were "useful for decrypting ISOs after they have been dumped on a PC blu-ray drive". I didn't know that, actually so far I only used the key directly with the old command-line tool PS3Dec.

So do you plan on adding ISO decryption functionality to IRDKit ?

I made that comment in reference to RPCS3's mention of IRD files here: https://rpcs3.net/quickstart

But, it shouldn't be too difficult to add decryption to the tool, perhaps in the next version!

I've released a toolkit for creating PS3 IRD files, and other features.
https://github.com/Deterous/LibIRD/releases/
It is command-line only and requires .NET 8 installed.
A UI for this will be added within MPF eventually

Creating an IRD (with different options for providing keys):

irdkit create game.iso
irdkit create game.iso -k A125B2FF16B9B18D5C18B5630B501643
irdkit create game.iso -f game.key
irdkit create game.iso -l game.getkey.log

IRDKit can also print info about IRDs (all fields) and ISOs (PS3_DISC.SFB and PARAM.SFO)

irdkit info game.iso
irdkit info game.ird

IRDKit can also provide a comparison between two similar IRDs, showing the difference between the two:

irdkit diff game1.ird game2.ird

Improvements over 3k3y ISOTools, Redump2IRD, and ManaGunZ:

  • Only requires a redump ISO. Does not require Disc Key/Disc ID/PIC. Pulls key from redump.org and generates ID/PIC.

  • Correctly hashes non-contiguous files

  • Produces reproducible IRDs, 1:1 correspondence with redump ISOs

  • Much faster for large ISOs, ISOs with many files

  • Create IRDs for an entire PS3 ISO set in one command

Sorry, I shortened the printed serial, it does have -STD. Here's the links (can't be viewed without logging in).
BCUS-98195 (BVSS-032970A1): http://redump.org/disc/48706/
BCUS-98182-MGS, BCUS-98182-STD (BVSS-020710A1): http://redump.org/disc/48705/

However please do make an account and contribute when an admin gets to making you an account! (Unfortunately Hotmail, Outlook, Gmail and Web.de may block emails from redump, so you may need to use a different email, protonmail is a free email that you can use if you need one).

If you are looking for the PS3 Welcome discs, they are in the BD-Video DAT as they are not actually PS3 discs. This DAT is not made public, hence you cannot find them by searching on redump.org without logging in.

redump.org currently has entries for BCUS 98156 (Ringcode BVSS-011760A1), BCUS-98182 (Ringcode BVSS-020710A1), BCUS-98195 (Ringcode BVSS-032970A1), BCUS-98213 (Ringcode BVDL-052280A1), and BCUS 98156R (Ringcode BVSS-017190A1).
If you have a different serial/ringcode, then it would be missing from redump. BCUS-98213 also needs verification.

It is of course appreciated that you wish to contribute to redump, you can still provide your logs (following the guide on the wiki) to verify these discs.
