escarlata has worked out shipping with the seller and plans to buy one that ends in two days. He will update.

Douglie, these are great drives at a great price, let me know if you plan to buy one and pick one so I will not bid against you.

Schrodinger, I will bid on one of these for you.

Hey guys, I just talked with this seller, he can bring shipping costs down to about $20 for shipping in USA:

He also ships internationally and guarantees his drives are working.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO BID AND IF SO ON WHICH ONE! I will likely buy up the rest to have in case anyone needs in the future. But it's best if you buy it to save an extra shipping step.

Me and xTMODx have been keeping a close eye on eBay for Plextors. Do you have laptops or desktop computers?

.img is a different format. Redump with IsoBuster to bin/iso option.

Welcome Kassidy

What should the title be?

Cool, updated as best as I understand.

I've created a wiki guide for DVD-Video disc ripping based off the info in this thread http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … ping_Guide

Enker, if you have the time, check over the linked guide to make sure it was done right.

I've also updated the DVD DIC guide with a link to the above guide.

But neither have CD based games do they? I could only find Karaoke for Tao and only floppy games for Sharp X68000

I came across two more systems on an old thread on redump forum, although I DON'T think they are applicable to redump, may as well mention them in case someone knows more:

  • Tao iKTV CD - just a karaoke system, no games.

  • Sharp X68000 CD - A floppy disc system, some games were released with Audio CDs as bonus discs, these should fall into the Audio CD category.

@ SONIC3D: Quite a rabbit hole to journey down. I'm adding into our miss lists, but any backup of the digital data will require someone with special knowledge to come on board.

Kiss-Site
Thanks for the links sarami. The Kiss-Site looks like yet another console that is more-than-less in Japanese hands if it will ever be preserved. I don't see it being a high-priority obviously, but it's been noted that it exists in our miss list. I don't speak good enough moon to build out a miss list quite yet, but I linked to the resources on the wiki page. http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … #Resources

The jist I'm getting is that there are two hardware systems (Amiga CDTV and Amiga CD32) that represent the three category of discs. It's somewhat ambiguous as to what list certain titles belong on, therefore I plan on merging the miss list onto a single page (though keeping them separate by category as best understood, on that single page).

Shipping is the most expensive. ANYONE IN JAPAN? smile

F1ReB4LL, what other rare disc based consoles do you know of?

I added many to the miss list already (need to add TOMY when I find a good game list). http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … yet_dumped

Words, words, words and zero results for 4+ years of his "work".

Would be nice to. Space Invaders XL and Toshiba Sampler were shared years ago, but both seem to be lost in ages. Bust-A-Move and Crayon Shin-chan were never dumped, AFAIK.

Fair enough on the 4+years, but I don't see anyone else currently taking up the baton to digi/write software for dumping LaserActive discs.

Would be great it people were posting some of these rare dumps on archive.org instead of next-pirate-site-to-be-shut-down.com, I still find it funny that Nuon has an emulator but no roms about lol.

PS: Mods feel free to spin this topic off as "Rare Disc Systems Discussion" or whatnot. We're getting off-topic, but it seems productive to some degree.

This guy seems to do absolutely nothing.

Well I guess he spent three years collect LaserActive discs from people smile hopefully dumping them soon.

But from the looks of it he has written software and modified hardware to dump the discs, so that's a start I guess. Also he's got a setup for high quality ripping off the analog portions of the discs (although that's not or interest for redump).

Good find on the links

"Several Japanese LaserActive games are pornographic in nature. I will not dumping these games." = </3

From the looks of it, dumping requires specialized hardware and a bit of a run around. Still these are discs with digital content so the digital part seems very appropriate for redump. This guy seems to know what he's doing so I'll reach out to him, if he just goes his own way I suppose that's just as well as we have no LaserActive dumps though.

Hey guys, I tried searching on the forum but came up empty for an answer, why are there three different categories for two systems (CDTV & CD32). Below is my best guess based off research:

  • Commodore Amiga CD - compatible with both CD32 and CDTV?

  • Commodore Amiga CDTV - only works with CDTV?

  • Commodore Amiga CD32 - (no CD32 discs are backwards compatible for CDTV)

I would like to build a proper miss list for this system and getting an answer would help.

Ha that's cool. You're preserving an entire system's worth of games all by yourself!

I did some digging around on wikipedia and found a similar DVD system called Nuon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuon_(DVD_technology) - which actually has an emulator for it

And a few more failed disc systems:

  • V.Flash (which we have 2 of the 9 cds dumped for the system here already)

  • Tandy VIS

  • LaserActive (which uses Laser Discs - part analog and part digital, I assume we would preserve the digital data for these here? Dumping might be super difficult lol!).

Great work, love the site!

All discs will have to be "redump"ed from their source to be added here to ensure they are done 100% perfectly. Here is the PSP dumping guide http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … n_Portable

IMO ring codes are not essential and many would not be dumping if they were required. Ditto with two rare PSX dumpers I'm bringing on board redump, dumping games you will never see again because no other known copies exist among collectors. Not everyone feels comfortable blasting their discs with a hot flashlight when there is only a handful of copies or 1 copy known to exist. Rings, barcodes, great to have, even better having the disc in the database instead of not at all.

I just sent a Plextor to Europe, yes shipping is expensive but you only have to do it once then you can resell if you choose after dumping all the discs you wanted to. Someone from Redump will help you find a drive if you're looking for it cheap and intend to dump more than a couple games.

PS2 DVDs not generating hash.


[F:OutputHash][L:303] GetLastError: 2, The system cannot find the file specified.


Nothing in the .dat file. Is this fixable? I plan to update the guide pointing people to HashCalc if there's no solution right now.

Here's my follow up solution.

Despite high reviews, my first adapter did not read discs:

My second order did not work for the first few times, but has worked consistently since:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000U … &psc=1

My third order worked perfectly:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AW … &psc=1


Assigning a permanent driver letter has been recommended as a fix on the internet, however this did not help my first adapter. It may have helped later on though, here's how to assign a permanent drive letter: https://www.groovypost.com/howto/assign … e-windows/
