Nice to hear that you also have SAT stuff.. DIC should be fine, try and verify some games.

It gives the same output as clonecd.. But I think DIC does safedisc sector filling now too.

Which system are you talking about specifically? because IIRC OneUp group just repackaged a lot of redump dumps and released them as scene.

lol.. just make a forum thread

I'm using one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-2-0-to-IDE- … 2052856507 (I just connect the drive when I need it and plug in power from psu).

Getting closer and closer to a complete set now, with the help of Starshadow.

Updated wiki: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … sing_Dumps

Still some expensive ones missing. We're also on the hunt for missing versions. A notable example that I just found out about is GTA San Andreas 2.0*. Most likely it's this disc (the label shows 'Second Edition'). It's fairly cheap on eBay.

Don't know what is the purpose of this post, but we're only accepting verifications that include ringcodes.

Thanks, links fixed in first post tongue

I've also attached PS3Dec-r5 for those who still need it.

Bump

It looks like 6 of the 11 undumped games are fairly cheap:

If any US dumper is interested in getting and dumping these, let us know..

edit: These 3 are now incoming:

SLUS-20128  ESPN - MLS Extra Time - 083717200116
SLUS-20296  Kao the Kangaroo - Round 2 - 742725272224
SLUS-21094  Midway Arcade Treasures 3 - 031719269150

edit2, so I guess GreyFox removed dumps from the wiki that weren't actually dumped.. re-added them.

Guys, it does have protection.. there's a large wav file so there's an error range that needs to be replaced with dummy sectors.. CloneCD and CDM can do this correctly. ProtectCD VOB is a similar case: http://redump.org/discs/quicksearch/cd. … tion/only/

Wow, so someone figured out the "random" padding structure? Maybe the same can be done for Xbox? tongue

That's blackmail!

I will look at your fixes when I have some free time tongue

Dump? tongue

Or you can just rename the field back to normal and tell certain people not to add CD-Checks and DVD-Checks as protection roll

Ah ok.  But redump is tracking all regions including japanese, correct?   So I should still dump my one game, right?

Sure, all dumps are welcome.

Most of the discs mentioned on wikipedia are Japanese? wiki isn't keeping track of undumped Japanese PS2 afaik

is SafeDisc dumped with '55' pattern finally? using /rc parameter?

Also:

[00:09] <iR0b0t> if CD.IDX is known to be a protected file ranges and is not used in other games which are not protected then you can let sarami know about it, he will include it into the DIC to skip the reserved ranges by this file and replace them by '55'

But the CD.idx file is oversized so I don't know if that will work.

I've corrected around 200-300 bad barcodes in the past month.. I agree that the spaces / end marker is unneccessary and perhaps even impractical because people search barcodes on google without the spaces. iR0b0t was going to optimize the barcode field and add a validation check. Maybe a nice solution would be to show the barcode as a number initially, and moving the cursor on the barcode or clicking on it would then reveal the barcode the way it's shown on the box.

Probably a waste of time / impossible to dump properly.. I've also owned this disc before, and some other dumpers still have it..

You should be ashamed of yourself for not owning a single plextor drive! tongue My favorite non-plextor brand is probably Optiarc, so your choice of main dumping drive makes sense.

Good point about the IFPI adding.. I've caught F1ReB4LL doing this several times.. as for the hyphen in Sony serials, I've always added them before because this is what logic tells us (this is how serials are structured, and also how Sony uses them on websites and inside PS3 files etc). It wasn't until Pablo came along that F1ReB4LL got infected with OCD about this

Another similar issue is barcodes.. Is there any real point in including spaces or > ?

Maybe a good compromise would be to display this information in two ways: The way it's written exactly on the disc, and conventionalized. The conventionalized codes will be cleaner and better for reference / googling and have the same information value (perhaps more, since e.g. barcodes without spaces are easier to find on google).

edit: So F1ReB4LL replied earlier with maybe the same thoughts: Scans would be a better way of recording non-standardized information (with a format that tends to vary with each disc or each manufacturer) such as logo's, incomplete mastering codes, barcodes with spaces, serials with missing hyphen, etc. than the current OCD approach.

edit2: Anyway, the point that I was trying to make is that information is data that is structured, and in this case, structuring mastering codes, serial numbers and barcodes means transforming them into a conventionalized format for easy reference. This is what a database should be about.
