Re: EAC pregap detection (14 replies, posted in General discussion)
Yes, you can use the cd dumping guide for PC games (as long as they don't have protections like SafeDisc or SecuROM). Same question answered here also: http://forum.redump.org/viewtopic.php?id=1998

it is.. if 2 dumpers get the same wrong result thanks to EAC, there's no way to tell if the dump is incorrect later on

Re: Mega-CD / Sega Saturn dumping (50 replies, posted in General discussion)
1608/4 = 402 samples, so it should indeed be dumped with +402 (and write offset is +390)
could you redump the audio track plz? (unless it's a dummy)

Re: Mega-CD / Sega Saturn dumping (50 replies, posted in General discussion)
+478 +588 (full sector offset) - 676 (plextor read offset) = +390, which is a common saturn offset
This means that there should be 402 samples of garbage in the sector on sony drive and not 404.. are you sure you counted it correctly? could you post the sector data here?

Re: Mega-CD / Sega Saturn dumping (50 replies, posted in General discussion)
First of all, the Plextor is definately not misreading. You have to include the extra half row, so the combined offset for plextor becomes +478.
What's the accuraterip offset for your plextor drive? This way we can tell if the Plextor indicates the same write offset as the sony (by substracting the drive read offset from the combined offset)
Also, if the sony gives you +404 amount of data in sector -150, I think this means that the gap is 2 seconds. The dump that you submitted had 0 sec gap in the cue. Next time plz mention if the gap in the cue isn't correct 
One last thing. It's best to use cdreader ('View Sectors') to look for scrambled data. If the plextor doesn't show any data in sector 78324, try reading 78326 first and then going back 2 sectors.

Z_Kenpachi, have you used the D8 method to detect offset? http://forum.redump.org/viewtopic.php?id=2057 it's a much more reliable method, especially when dealing with discs with 0 sec pregaps

This is why I have postpone any SS dumping: To much trouble to get and/or confirm the audio pregap (1.73, 1.74, 2.00, 2.01 and 2.02 on many of my NTSC-J dics).
I have a Plextor burner so if I can get a hold on this PerfectRip software maybe I can get accurate pregap...
Check your mail.
@ Z_Kenpachi, let me know if you also have a Plextor drive

Re: Mega-CD / Sega Saturn dumping (50 replies, posted in General discussion)
Hi and welcome..
I hope we can find a solution to these track02 pregap detection issues shortly. Right now the best thing you can do is try dumping the discs that aren't giving you problems.
Also make sure you have tried other gap detection modes in EAC to see if they give better results.
If your drive is a Plextor, I can send you a test version of PerfectRip, which should have no problems with detecting the proper gaps.
Otherwise, chances are the Cdrwin gap detection still works better for you. Here's the part that was removed from an earlier guide:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Cdrwin 4.0
Determining the pregap length
Start Cdrwin;
Click on the third icon from the left (Extract Disc/Tracks/Sectors);
Make sure you select the correct CD Reader;
For Extract Mode, choose Disc Image/Cuesheet (this should be the default setting);
Choose a destination filename and location in the 'Image Filename' box;
Press START.
After analysing the disc layout, it will start reading the sectors. It is safe to cancel this process, because we only need the .cue file. The .cue file can be found in the destination folder.
Close Cdrwin and open up the .cue with Notepad. You will see a segment of text similar to this one:
TRACK 02 AUDIO
FLAGS DCP
PREGAP 00:02:00
INDEX 01 39:35:69
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The last possible solution for now would be to try looking up the proper gaps on the TOSECISO site (http://toseciso.org/list.php?sys=7) However, please note that the audio track images on there are 44 bytes larger than neccesary, and the track02 images there, unlike our dumps, don't include the pregap date, so the only useful information for you on that site would be track02 pregap length (if both EAC and Cdrwin fail to detect).

Dremora or anyone that can add 3DO to the DB and write out explicitly what information you want I should have some dumped by this weekend. I called around and they are only like $4.95 to $14.95 here. Can we check for errors with cdmage?
Thank you for your time.
toseciso.org already has over 500 3DO dumps.. even though they are dumped as 2048, there is no data missing that cannot be generated by converting to raw. Personally I just don't think it's much use adding this system to redump if there will only be maybe 5 dumps (like Dreamcast) and none of the dumps will be shared anyway, but it's up to Dremora to decide.

Re: 3DO Disc images (21 replies, posted in General discussion)
3DO is always a single data track afaik.. as for PC games, this would require a custom set of db fields (+volume serial number, protection, -region, etc)

Re: 3DO Disc images (21 replies, posted in General discussion)
2352 bytes/sector .bin
So far there are no Redump dumpers showing interest in this system. There's a chance however that we will team up with other dumping projects in the future that already support it.

Re: Offset detection using the D8 read command - Discussion (67 replies, posted in General discussion)
+31? 
could you post an output log plz? Also, have you checked other sectors to make sure it is correct?
ps. some dumps that you added today had offset set to +30.. were those supposed to be +31 too?
All the data-only discs that I checked were either -617 or +32 (also a couple ps2 cd's were +18 and one psx was -542)

It's correct
ps. I've checked the write offset of my data-only discs and added them to the database (for reference). Maybe someone else feels like doing the same

Re: Offset detection using the D8 read command - Discussion (67 replies, posted in General discussion)
The best way to figure out the sector correction for such discs is by using Truong's cdreader tool: http://www.cdtool.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/ … 1_2b20.zip .
Use 'View Sectors' to go to the first sector of the data track, then enable the 'Apply YB scrambling' box. This will scramble the header (the sync/header is now the same as the px_d8 output). Then you can determine the offset in sectors by looking for the sector with the same sync/header in cdreader.

Topic: Offset detection using the D8 read command - Discussion (67 replies, posted in General discussion)
Today, with the help of Truong Hi, the coder of PerfectRip, we've come up with a better way of detecting the combined read+write offset of a disc. This new method expands upon our previous discovery, and also proves that our current methods of correcting both offsets are correct.
The principle is that, by using the D8 vendor read command on compatible drives, data sectors are read in audio mode and thus become scrambled. The sync remains unscrambled, and its position can be used to determine the combined read+write offset.
Advantages over old method:
- Works on all discs with data tracks (no audio tracks needed)
- All data track sectors can be used to detect (in the old method it was only possible to use the first track02 pregap sector for this)
Disadvantage:
- It requires a drive that supports the D8 read command. Most Plextor drives (original ones, not rebadged) are confirmed to support this command (755A, 760A, etc).
Software needed:
Px_D8 v1.01 by Truong Hi - http://vigi.dremora.com/px_d8.rar
Usage: px_d8 <drive letter> <LBA sector> [sub-ch bits]
sub-ch bits:
0 or ommit for no sub-ch data
1=16 PQ
2=96 raw
Precautions:
- If you have a Plextor drive, be sure to update to the latest firmware available for your drive!
Howto:
Download the tool, put it in a folder, open command prompt.
If your drive is D:, then launch the px_d8.bat file. If your drive is at a different letter, use:
px_d8.exe <drive letter> 0 0
If your drive supports the read command, you will get output similar to this:
C:\psx>px_d8.bat

To know the combined read+write offset, it's first neccesary to determine the amount of data BEFORE THE SYNC/HEADER (00FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF0001820...).
On the disc of the example it's 8 rows, which equals 128 bytes = 32 samples (as seen in the cd dumping guide). The read offset of the Plextor drive is +30, so the factory write offset is +2.
Here's another example:

Press any key to continue . . .
This time there is 2236 bytes before the sync/header, or 513 samples.
However, this time the sync/header is slightly different from our previous example (00FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00018202...).
This difference in the header (18202 instead of 18200) indicates that the data is read from sector 2 instead of sector 0 (see post below for more info).
A full sector is 2352 bytes or 588 samples of data, so the difference is 2*588 samples.
Combined read+write offset = 513 - (2*588) = -617. Because the drive that we used is +30 read offset, the factory write offset is -647.
We strongly suggest Plextor owners to try and use this new method

Re: Mega-CD / Sega Saturn dumping (50 replies, posted in General discussion)
This could be a bug in EAC.. You can try right click Track02 > Sector View in IsoBuster, then going back 152 sectors and then forward again until the sync (00 FF FF FF FF FF FF FF etc) is no longer visible.. then you will know where the data track ends and what the pregap length really is.

Re: Perfectrip? (22 replies, posted in General discussion)
The 760A will do fine.. If it hangs in the middle then either the disc is damaged or your rebadged drive is not able to read the track02 pregap.
Try looking on ebay for a sony 100E or 120E, that's where most of the dumpers got theirs. There are also some other drives, like some of the Samsung SD-616 models (see http://www.accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm), but you'd have to be sure that the one that's on sale is the exact same model.
EAC + IsoBuster is perfectly doable (check our updated dumping guide if you haven't done so already), but you'll still need a large offset drive for certain discs.

Re: Perfectrip? (22 replies, posted in General discussion)
I've sent you another e-mail containing the link to a more recent version. It appears that this bug was fixed in a newer version.

Re: Perfectrip? (22 replies, posted in General discussion)
I think it's okay for dumpers to obtain a beta copy of the program. Get in touch with us on IRC or mail.
There have been some internal conflicts between the developers of the program. Right now the program is in process of being ported to another language, so I fear it's still gonna take some months until it's ready for public release.

Re: Drive's offset correction by -30 (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
Hi,
we mean to tell that EAC's REFERENCE offset is wrong and should be corrected with -30.. so the offsets displayed in the accuraterip database (http://accuraterip.com/driveoffsets.htm) or the one that is detected by EAC should be corrected with -30.
This applies to ALL CD's and of course ALL drives..
