DNAS ID began to be used on PS2 discs around 2002.
It is located somewhere near the beginning of the disc, perhaps written in the 'wobble' that Sony likes to use. In any case, it's not readable via normal PC disc drives/commands.
If your interest is in a 'lost CD locator', also checkout my attempt at a complete PS1/PS2 Sony serial index: https://sony.redump.info/
Thanks for the information.
I'm trying to create a "theory" for locating the discs.
The DNS is associated with the creation of the disc itself. However, the SLES serial number association at Sony is done in the previews and betas, which already have the code assigned in the case of TLES. Therefore, I'm also analyzing the beta data to try to close the search loop. In this case, for example, I think I've found SLES 50063, which I believe could be the canceled PS2 version of 007: The World Is Not Enough.
But at the moment, I don't have enough data to 100% confirm this theory, which is why I wanted the DNS data to further narrow down the possibilities.
I'm currently cross-referencing the creation dates of the known betas, the release dates (or first news confirming the PS2 version of the game), and the executable dates for the games "close" to the breach.
Hopefully, with the DNS data, I can improve my theory.
Thank you very much.
Let me explain my question.
I'm developing a system for locating discs based on their creation. From what I'm observing, the DNs appear to be "unique" based on pressing batches, and I'm trying to confirm this suspicion.
If I could confirm this theory, we'd be able to create a lost CD locator.
I'd just have to cross-reference the serial numbers with the barcodes and DNs to locate unknown versions.
Thanks for your help.
I have a question.
How can I find the DNAS Disc ID of a PS2 disc?

Sure, absolutely.
DVD-R can be dumped with whatever drive, CD-R with Plextor and other compatible drives as well.
CD-R might have two errors at the end of the data track, so that will require some extra attention if necessary.

Thanks, Tony
I said this because I'm not sure what the protocol is for dumping these types of discs. Should I follow the same formula as any PS2 disc?
Can you confirm if these two disks are dumped?
One of the cases that I have found is this GLADIATOR, which has a Russian translation that never existed licensed from Sony.
As the details show, it is a disk created with machinery and with rigcodes with its barcodes, and that was distributed as an "original" product (Original according to Russian legislation)
I have informed myself about it and a studio called KUDOS that was dedicated to making this type of translations industrially from 2000 to 2004.
From 2004 to 2014 he began working for SEGA and tried to eliminate all traces of these translations.
One of the curiosities of these editions is that the covers have better paper quality than the original Sony ones, and that they are double.
On one side they are in Russian, and on the other in English
Good night.
Let me introduce myself, I'm De Moya, and I'm new to Redump.
I have spoken with my Spanish colleagues AlMagno and Diego to get started in the dumping process.
I have a collection of more than 3,500 physical games, of which 2,400 are PS2.
In some cases, I have some discs (Demos) that have not been dumped, so as soon as I finish doing the review of PS2 dumps that I am doing to prepare a list of necessary dumps and confirmations within PS2, I will get to dump like crazy.
But I have a series of doubts.
In my collection I have several Russian Bootlegs, which were created with industrial machinery, despite not being official Sony products.
I have seen that several programs and discs that are not official, and that are modifications of original Sony software, such as Cheats Discs, have been included in the PS Software lists.
My question is: In cases of having an industrial, Russian bootleg (not a pirated copy recorded at home)
Do I dump these games? Will they be accepted? What are the criteria for these cases?
Sorry for the inconvenience, and thanks for your responses.
