When the disc you want to dump has only 1 audio track, extract the audio track with EAC then run this .bat command in the directory where you have the extracted audio track and psxt001z.exe then delete the backup (.bak) file (if the gap is other than 2 seconds, edit this file according to the gap size). this is the same command that Rocknroms wrote but in a automated way.
By the way, we always assume that that gap was silence so we use 00's to fill the track 2 pre gap but if there is data in that pregap? it isn't better to extract the data track and the audio track and use the ReMove program to move the gap from the end of track 1 to the beggining of track 2? Maybe we should always use this program in discs with only one audio track.
Rocknroms it's better to give him your site adress because the link you gave can be viewed only by dumpers and higher.
Russian??! Why not portuguese? At least it's more easy to learn than Russian lol
Provato, Fireball has a point, just imagine if everyone in here starts talking in their native language, it will be a chaos lol
I found a article that explains all this stuff (gaps, pregaps, indexes) and how this works in a regular cd player.
take a look, if you are interested : http://www.mail-archive.com/libcdio-dev … 00370.html
I thought that this was some interesting points for discussion and no one has nothing more to say?!
After all, all this tags (Alt, EDC, vx.x, etc) have direct influence in the filenames...
By the way, what is a matrix dump?
Hi,
I guess that's because Redump.org switched to the No-intro naming convention in july and that means that all the cue sheets names changed and you downloaded the images with the old filenames, that's why the cue sheets don't match with your images.
This EDC thing is a little bit confusing, let's see this rhetorical questions:
-why some discs have EDC and others don't, in discs with the same edition? ( http://redump.org/disc/5513/ - http://redump.org/disc/81/ Platinum ed. in this case)
-why the original release usually don't has EDC and the Platinum releases has (sometimes the time differenece between releases is only 3 or 4 months)?
-why almost all the discs that came out after 1998 have EDC?
Maybe Sony realised that it's better to make the discs with EDC...

But there are exceptions:
-Same EXE date but different edition ( http://redump.org/disc/149/ - http://redump.org/disc/5037/ ...) ,sometimes the game files are the same but they include some promotional trailers or whatever, so it's ok to call, in such cases, edition v1.1 even if the game is unmodified from 1 edition to another (same EXE date)?
-Same EXE date and same edition ( http://redump.org/disc/1755/ - http://redump.org/disc/5470/ ... this shouldn't be (Alt) instead?)
-And why there are a lot of dumps in the DB marked version 1.1 (or 1.0) and there isn't in the DB the version 1.0 (or 1.1) of that game? i mean, even if the existence of such versions is known, i think it's better to wait until someone dumps them, to be sure...

Obviously you never saw a Floyd concert otherwise you would know that pigs CAN fly lol
It's easy, insert the Video DVD you want to dump in the drive then run any dvd player or DVD decrypter to unlock the drive then dump the disc with isobuster.
I have a lot of DC titles but i never gave it a try... it seems a bit difficult (try for 20 times?? hell no! lol ) and maybe my drive can't read those discs...
But themabus was talking about the offset, so what's the relation between open the drive and the offset?
Thks to all of you.
Definitely we are not in tune...
C'mon iRobot, read the post #5 again...
I don't care if the DB reports no errors and the image has errors what matters is if the image is a good dump or not...
That's why i suggested to you that checking all those images was a waste of time because in my opinion that's not a very important info but if you think otherwise ok i can grab my discs, dump them again and check the image for corruption.
If you want to spend hours scanning images that's ok, what i said in post 5 was only a suggestion...
It seems that we are not in tune and i don't know if you understood my point of view
I talked about lying about the errors in Populous because you said that "someone can say a wrong info" and i gave that example to demostrate that neither i nor anyone have reasons to post false info in "fixes & additions".

I'm so sorry but it seemed to me that when you wrote "you", you were refering to me lol
and trust me, i'm relaxed too (2 chicks are giving me a thai massage as i wrote this text lol)
Thks.
I think that it can't be called a "verification dump" if i can't find the offset and used the offset that other dumper determined lol
I think i can't open my drive (my pc is a laptop) but just for curiosity, open the drive for what?
My drive have a +48 offset and can overread into lead out only.
I want to dump pc discs with a negative (-12 and -22) offset and Jurassic Park for MCD which have a -22 offset.
What i need to know is if my drive can dump this discs correctly.
Many thks in advance.
I don't understood why you reacted so aggressively...
I think that redump is a sort of open DB (anyone can dump the discs and post the info) so, are you sure that all the posts in "dumps " and " fixes & additions" are correct? i don't think so... so you have to trust in the info posted and check it whenever possible...
Why would i lie when i said that populous had 1 error?? i don't see any reason for that and i want to believe that no one here wants to sabotage the database, like Fireball said in other post...
I think that the info should be verified before changed!
iRobot, i think that checking all those images it's a waste of time because the info that matters is the hashes and the filenames, all the other info is for documentation only. Instead i suggest that if someone finds some errors in the DB, the corrected info should be posted in "fixes & additions".
I've been checking some images and if i find something to correct i will post it...
I suggested some time ago that the correct mode in BitLooter pc dumps should be rechecked ( http://forum.redump.org/topic/4741/adde … -pc-dumps/ ) but no one listens to what i say lol
and if you don't want to dig the discs again i think you could check the image for the correct mode with CDmage...
Hi BitLooter.
You have to check if the discs are in Mode1 or Mode2 in PC dumps because it's important info.
To check this you don't need to extract the disc again. You could check the post 2 of this topic http://forum.redump.org/topic/4695/new- … c-6-dumps/ or go to isobuster and select the data track with the RMB and then select properties then advanced.
I never checked my PSX dumps for corruption and they were added with 0 errors...(i recall that fuzzball said the same in a old post). I checked the images in my last psx topic but i mentioned that in the info that i wrote but all the other PSX dumps i made i didn't check) so if we need to check the images for errors, the dumping guide should mention that.
http://redump.org/disc/774/ - 3 dumpers for this disc and it has 1 error and the DB reported 0... and maybe there are more similar cases...
I understood that. i was just assuming that at least one of the dumpers had the other offset and it was missing from the DB 
Well, for now i can't dump that disc (that disc and many others... )
Thks for the explanation, pepsidrinker.
well it seems that, for me, the write offset sometimes is a problem 
i mean the info in the feft column lol but why one dump is 1.0 and the other 1.1? it also could be the other way around...
and i think that the two write offsets should be in the info...
I don't know if this should be posted in the "Fixes and additions" so sorry if it's misplaced.
I tried to make a verification dump of ISS PRO and my drive couldn't dump the audio tracks because it has a read offset of +48 and this always happens to me in PSX discs whith a -647 write offset the problem is that the dump in the DB is a +2 offset.
I dumped the data track and after fixing, it matched this dump http://redump.org/disc/1755/
So what's wrong in this picture? 3 dumpers can't be wrong... so the info in the DB is wrong (not the dump) or my disc is different...
And anyone knows why this dump http://redump.org/disc/5470/ is v1.1? i mean the info is the same in both dumps (even the EXE date)
I don't know why, but it seems that the PSX is the only system with a BIOS dat file in Redump.org, so i would like to suggest a new category for the BIOS dumps. I think that the bios can be dumped with the right hardware/software and we could add the hashes and info like a regular disc (system, region, languages, version, etc) and also with the green and blue status. I think that 1 dat file with all the bios checksums is just fine.
By the way, anybody shown interest in dumping Neo Geo CD discs?
I tested that method with a movie and it works but i think the image will be useless because the decryption key is needed...
The DVD video format has to be decrypted so it's impossible to make a 1:1 copy.
So i think it shouldn't be added to the DB. but there are some special features discs for the ps2 that aren't in the DVD video format.
