We SHOULD dump SafeDisc discs in two different drives before submite the hashes to the DB!
But in battlefield Vietnam case this could be normal...
The only difference in this dumps: http://redump.org/disc/7447/ and http://redump.org/disc/9924/ are a couple of bytes in sector 16 (if i recall well) so nothing to do with the unreadable sectors.

Re: I am having several problems with dumping PS1 Tekken 2 and 3. (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
1- yes
2- let's say that you won't be able to find the write offset of the disc.
3- This means that different dumpers dumped different discs, and they found different write offsets, and all the tracks matched.
4- humm... strange... that option must be enebled!

Re: I am having several problems with dumping PS1 Tekken 2 and 3. (7 replies, posted in General discussion)
Well, you can´t dump Tekken 2 and Tekken 3 because your drive has a offset of +6 and those discs have a negative offset of -647. To dump them you need a drive with a big positive offset (more than 647).
This has nothing to do with the EAC bug since that bug only affects discs with a data track amd ONLY one audio track!
To dump discs with two data tracks check this topic to know how: http://forum.redump.org/topic/4495/sega … -28112010/ and search for "FIXING ANOMALIES".
Humm, if you got matching dumps, please post the dumping info so that they can add you as a dumper for those discs

Re: PS2 game versions (11 replies, posted in General discussion)
To dump discs without audio tracks is easy. just dump the disc with IsoBuster then use clrmamepro dir2dat function to get the hashes (md5, crc and sha1). You should check the image for corruption is Cdmage (in discs protected with SecuRom the disc will extract fine with isobuster but it should have 1 corrupted sector in cdmage).
Installing the game is a good idea to check for games languages and game version (sometimes the game version is in a corner of the title screen).
About the offset value it's only mandatory in discs with audio tracks.

Sometimes PSX disc have errors in CDmage even in discs without audio tracks. We can't repair those errors!! If you got always the same CRC the dump is fine!

And maybe its better to change the position of the "New disc" in the Disc menu because it isn´t very visible. When we have tabs opened in firefox the "New Disc" is in the bottom of the page, and maybe it must be in bold

Re: Obtaining Layer Break Info (2 replies, posted in General discussion)
I always use ImgBurn to check the layer break.
I think that it's always like that is Isobuster because the program counts the first sector of the disc as sector 0 (instead of sector 1)...

Re: Redump discs with multiple data tracks (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
On a broader note, should redump images playback without issue on hardware capable of doing so?
You won't be able to play PSX or Saturn dumps in unmodified hardware due to copy protection, but you can play burned discs in unmodified Mega/Sega CD (but only the same region of the hardware).

Re: Dumping PSX discs with known errors? (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
If you are dumping from original media, you should extract the disc in IsoBuster without problems! (unless the disc is scratched...). When a (PSX) dump in the DB show errors that's the amount of errors the image has when scanned with CdMage, and not read errors in IsoBuster.

Re: Is there a way to repair old PSX Track1 ? (5 replies, posted in General discussion)
This affects only the last sector of the data track of the PSX NoEDC discs with audio tracks.
To fix it, use InJector (search for it here: http://forum.redump.org/topic/5272/tools-of-the-trade/ )

Re: Plextor PX-708A and PX_D8 (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
If you have a Plextor you should use Perfectrip to dump the tracks.
In this case you don´t get matching hashes because EAC has a bug (ONLY in discs with one data track and one audio track) that detects always a 0.00 sec gap instead of the true one. So if you add 150 sectors of silence (00's) to the beggining of the extracted track you should get matching results.
Anyway, in this case, you must dump the high density track to verify the dump!

Re: First PSX disc with audio - a question (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
If you got a sync error (i assume that it's at the very end of the last track) the dump is bad and it can't be accepted. It's better to search for a drive that can overread into the lead-out.
Also, are there any naming conventions with regard to the files? Currently, they're all "01 - Unknown Title" and whatnot.
Thanks for the help. It's astonishing how much more challenging it has been to rip a game with audio tracks!
Don't worry about the name convention, just post the info, hashes, EAC Cue and log. The names are genereted automaticly.
And yes, dump discs with audio tracks is more complicated, but i assure you that after a couple of dumps you don't even need to look at the guide

Re: Looking for help (29 replies, posted in General discussion)
If the SLPS-00451~2 have the same case, shall I post "Error = 1"?
Yes, check the images with CDmage and post the error count (Cdmage should be used only to check the number of corrupted sectors and never to fix them!). But beware, pionner drives can't dump this kind of discs correctly.

Re: Looking for help (29 replies, posted in General discussion)
The cdmage check result is "Image has 1 corrupted sector(s)."
Need fix or no ? Confused...
Never fix a PSX image with CDmage! All the PSX NoEDC discs with audio tracks have always (at least) 1 corrupted sector!

Re: Dumping Audio CDs (2 replies, posted in General discussion)
Just set up EAC like it's described in the dumping guide. Since the offset of audio discs can't be determined use your drive offset (+667). Press F4 to detect gaps then extract the tracks, then create the cue sheet (Action->create cue sheet->current gap settengs).
Please be sure your drive can overread (doing the tests in EAC or try to go beyond the last sector of the disc in the isobuster sector view function).

Topic: Use of Clramame dat suggestion for the WIP forms (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
Why the size and hashes in WIP forms for DVD's and GC discs are introduced separately?
Clrmame dat should be mandatory for every dump because it reduces the chance of copy/paste error and the size/size on disc confusion...

Re: Question about EAC/IsoBuster (5 replies, posted in General discussion)
2. You mean "Append Gaps To Next Track"? yeah i have followed the Guide for setting up EAC...
I mean, in this case, you need to add 2 seconds (352800 bytes) of silence (00's) at the beginning of the audio track EAC extracted because EAC always detects a 0 sec gap instead of the real one in discs with 1 data track+1 audio track.
In post 9 of this topic you can see how to do that.
47 2011-03-26 18:16:19
Re: Question about EAC/IsoBuster (5 replies, posted in General discussion)
1. Then how will i know the pregag if not with EAC?
If you own a Plextor drive you can dump the disc with Perfect Rip without minding with the gaps.
Going back 150 sectors in IsoBuster usually works with PSX disc since the gap is 2 seconds in 99% of cases but in MegaCD, Saturn and other systems you can dump the disc with Clone CD to check the size of the gap in the CUE file Clone CD generated and you can submit the resulting .sub file for analysis.
2. i made BIN with EAC, but i got this:
Track 2
Filename X:\Track02.bin
Suspicious position 0:04:00
Peak level 0.0 %
Extraction speed 2.7 X
Track quality 99.7 %
Test CRC FD2DF1A5
Copy CRC FD2DF1A5
Copy finishedThere were errors
The disc is scractched or your drive doesn't support overread into the leadout...
Anyway don't forget to append the gap at the begging of the audio track (only in discs with 1 audio track that were dumped with EAC)

Re: [help ]segacd / megacd audio delay/desync fix? (2 replies, posted in General discussion)
Probably that's because of the gaps between the audio tracks.
We dump discs in a way that the resulting images will be exactly as the original disc...
And yes, with the Rocknroms guide you may be able convert a lot of images but sometimes that's not easy, expecially in Mega CD images because 99% of them have audio tracks and sometimes you may get not matching first or last audio track due to offset...
Anyway, remember that the data track must be converted to raw format (2353/bytes per sector) and the mp3 files are crap...
Good luck!
