Add placeholder pregap lengths? Not seeing how that would be any worse.
Right now the Redump DC set is a problem. Emu devs won't touch it. This is a fault of the redump DC system and an issue that needs resolution.

>So if data / track hashes stay the same, what's the problem with emu devs, can't they just generate the cues internally on the fly?
No incentive. They're happy with the TOSEC sets. This makes the Redump sets completely worthless / useless in all practical sense. GDI is an all around terrible decision. You may as well have asked "Why won't they wipe our asses?"

>I assume this new format would be just as accurate?
Yeah same data / track hashes, just easier for devs to access.
We'll be fundraising soon for the redump DC set, so "hey we can't use any of your dumps" seems like a pretty accurate criticism people might have, and emu devs won't be adding GDI support beyond what exists. With multi-cue and diplomacy, i'm sure we can get support added.

Topic: [DONE] Sega Dreamcast: Multi-Cue > GDI (66 replies, posted in General discussion)
Sega Dreamcast is heading towards a PAL and USA fullset. A friend has offered to grant me access to his USA DC fullset after Christmas (pending I can raise shipping funds), and AJ and I are working on a video dumping guide.
As USA / PAL DC sets begin to wind down, we're in need of a better solution for emulator developers to implement support for the redump DC sets.
Fireball has expressed interest in shifting to a multi-cue format instead of GDI, and I believe that would be the best move to make. If redump could implement multi-cue, I would be happy to get into touch with emu devs to bridge the disconnection between what we're doing and what they're doing - allowing the redump DC sets to actually be useful.

Re: Redump specific file format, what's the difference between the others? (3 replies, posted in Guests & account requests)
Depends on the system but, tracks 2+ are generally Audio CD tracks (redbook). Splitting them allows for more accurate dumping via write offset correction.
This also allows for comparison across different releases, as some tracks will often / usually match for the same title.

Re: Approved method for dumping Xbox/Xbox 360 dev/debug prototypes? (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
You can dump as IBM PC > DVD-Rom in the DICUI settings.
Also, I believe SOME protos are formatted in the regular Xbox manner, but MOST are standard DVD-Roms as iRobot said.

Re: I would like an account to contribute (PlayStation). (8 replies, posted in Guests & account requests)
Ideally we'd like to confirm there were no damaged sectors during the dump. Do you or SolidSnake11 know who owns the disc so we can confirm with them? A known bad dump rom of this has been on the internet for some time, so we'd like to get a confirmation on quality, perhaps by the current owner of the disc, if trackable.

Topic: Press Asset discs (0 replies, posted in General discussion)
Lots of press kits have been dumped lately, and more are to come. I suggest if there's any plan to split the dat for them, do it soon please and add them.
PS: "Press Kit" = a full kit containing Press Asset discs, Games, Demos.
"Press Assets" = a disc containing Press Assets.
My vote is for naming the new dat "Press Assets".

Are Ringprotech discs accepted in redump? I was under the impression they were not due to imperfect dumping. Ideally it's best to dat the best available dump anyway?

Re: Wii U Cat-R disc keys (3 replies, posted in General discussion)
Bumping this old post because I wanted it documented somewhere that decrypting Wii U CAT-R's is a different process than standard Wii U retail discs.
To decrypt you must use DiscU.exe app (currently the dev has chosen not to share this publicly).
USAGE
DiscU.exe game.key game.wud
place game.key in the same dir as it with that command.
game.key is any dev key (since all CAT-R keys seem to work interchangeably).
