If you're using DIC with /c2 then there's no real need to dump twice.

Maybe send Kludge a pm. He's from the UK also and has a ton of plextor drives. Pretty sure he could miss one.

Re: [IBM PC] Games to redump (24 replies, posted in General discussion)
Tiger Hunt (Taiwan) was definitely a bad dump, so I changed it to red status. Error sectors were filled with wrong data, and probably there are more readable sectors than what's in the dump.
Formula 1 97 (Europe) (Track 01) has mastering errors at the end of the track. The dump should be correct.
Fritz 7 (Germany) (En,De) image is unavailable and yellow status (should be redumped anyway).

Re: [IBM PC] Games to redump (24 replies, posted in General discussion)
We need to check for any Mode2 data tracks with 0x55 pattern. CloneCD apparently puts a mode1 byte (01) in the header always.
For this one I put 02: http://redump.org/disc/31914/

Use psxt001z to get the EDC info. But no point in checking it for verifications.

Re: Will documenting ringcodes ever be a requirement before adding games? (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
The recent ps1 dumpers (user7, DangerBoy, wiggy2k, etc.) all say they either don't have the equipment for it, or that the ringcodes were illegible when they tried. Would be nice to see some more effort put into this, as the complete ringcodes could help uncover any potentially missing versions.

They're not games either. They have their own Preproduction category, so I moved them to a separate list.

Re: Complete list of missing PS2 USA (no demos, etc) (32 replies, posted in General discussion)
Most of these titles have different version images floating on the net, so we're not just making these up. I recently dumped Test Drive + Pimp My Ride alternate versions that were also in the list. Good luck hunting for the rest.

Re: Complete list of missing PS2 USA (no demos, etc) (32 replies, posted in General discussion)
I dumped one of the Poker versions, which matched the DB. GFatha still has another disc w/different serial incoming.
The missing versions listed there are either confirmed by third party images, or educated guesses by looking at a combination of ringcode, version number and/or different versions in PAL region. Please keep them listed until they are dumped/debunked.

I've linked your guides here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Dumping-Guides
And changed the ringcode part a bit (they are required, at least the parts that can be reasonably read). Also linked to my forum post with instructions on how to scan hidden PSX ringcodes.

Re: Complete list of missing PS2 USA (no demos, etc) (32 replies, posted in General discussion)
Could you update the first post and remove any titles that are already dumped? I guess you should end up with those 2 missing.
Someone should check gamefaqs for any serials that aren't in the db. There are prolly some variants still that are undumped. For instance, I bought Transformers: Director Cut (SLES-53309) today that is undumped and wasn't listed in the wiki.

Re: Complete list of missing PS2 USA (no demos, etc) (32 replies, posted in General discussion)
I guess you were lurking on IRC and saw my outcry
Nice to hear that you bought 1 of the 2 missing PS2 USA titles (there's still some missing versions also, a couple of them should be on the way): http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … sing_Dumps
The other remaining title, Dance Dance Revolution X2, sold last month for only 15 usd: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Dance-Dance-Rev … 2473901893
There are still some more expensive copies listed though on eBay. But if there was any real interest left here in completing the set, it would've been dumped years ago.
The same can be said about other USA sets like Saturn, Dreamcast, Sega CD and Xbox. Many missing dumps and almost no dumping activity in the recent years. We could definitely use some fresh blood in this place.

Re: Dumping Guides (Disc Image Creator) (10 replies, posted in General discussion)
Thanks ack, already have that in the CD dumping guide and added the colors as useful http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … e_Creator)
Still unclear about:
When to use other commands such as d8
What to do for secure-rom etc
Where to find file size in DIC output txt files
Where to find checksums in DIC output files
Where to find layerbreak for PS2 DVD-9's in output files.
- /nl is for LibCrypt, /ns for SecuROM, /sf for for PC copy protections that can be detected, /ss for other PC protections with c2 errors.
- size and hashes are in .dat file (doh)
- .cue that DIC created should always be used/included
- write offset is in the disc log txt
- SecuROM data is in the subintention .txt (when /ns parameter is used and the disc is in fact SecuROM-protected)
Also my suggestion would be to remove this part from the guide (until any of the drives are really verified):
'''Disc drives believed[http://forum.redump.org/post/49337/#p49337] to be compatible''' (move to verified list when confirmed):
* Apple 300, 300i (Sony CDU-8003, CDU-8003A)
* Apple's "New" CD (Matsushita CR-8004)
* Chinon CDS-535 (note: needs v2.0 firmware "Q20" or "R20")
* NEC CDR 500, CDR 510, CDR 600 (MultiSpin 3x series)
* NEC CDR 400 (MultiSpin 3xp portable)
* NEC CDR 900 (MultiSpin 4x Pro quadruple speed)
* NEC CDR 84-1 (74-1) needs special new firmware upgrade from NEC
* Sony CDU-561
* Toshiba XM 3301TE (Silicon Graphics version)
* Toshiba XM 3401TA, XM 3401B
* Toshiba XM 3401TE (Silicon Graphics, and Sun versions)
* Toshiba XM 4101TA Toshiba XM 5301TA
* Hitachi 6750S
And also remove this:
Protected CD:
SecuRom 3
PLEXTOR
PX-4824A (ecc/edc of the 2 sector doesn't match)
CDS200, Label Gate, XCP
PLEXTOR
PX-4824A (doesn't get the TOC correctly)
It's no use mentioning individual issues for certain discs/drives. A lot of things can go wrong during dumping. The dumper needs to learn himself how to pick up on these issues.
Also the section 'Disc Compatibility' isn't really needed. DIC should work with any CD.
A guide should be as compact and easy to read as possible.

In what situations a Plextor drive would be useful?
Audio Tracks? SafeDisc? SecuROM? Any other protection?
Any CD dump
