Re: Discs with unique IDs in files

<r>Just to be clear:<br/>
<br/>
The discs that prompted me to post this thread are not bad burns. They intentionally have a file with a random number in it. That is, each disc was technically a custom one-off burn created by a DVD-burning station, probably with a robot disc changer so the publisher ...

Discs with unique IDs in files

<t>What are people's thoughts on how to handle game prototypes or other CD/DVD/BD-R releases where each disc has a different hash because of unique identifiers in one or more files on the disc?<br/>
<br/>
I know that this affects Capcom prototypes in the Xbox 360 era, probably other publishers too ...

Re: Approved method for dumping Xbox/Xbox 360 dev/debug prototypes?

<t>It turns out that I was at least partially mistaken. There might be a missing link in the tool chain, but it's not where I thought it was.<br/>
<br/>
If I burn the images back to DVD-R, they work in my XDK, and Xbox Backup Creator can read the filesystem, at least if they're in the Kreon drive ...

Re: GD-R dumping

Correct. I successfully dumped a "not for sale" pressed GD-ROM demo version of Demolition Racer. The prototype I'm having trouble with is a recordable GD-R.

GD-R dumping

<r>Apologies for the series of dumping trouble threads, but I think this will be the last one for awhile.<br/>

Re: Approved method for dumping Xbox/Xbox 360 dev/debug prototypes?

<t>OK, so returning to this topic, some of you have been doing this way longer than I have, but I think maybe this type of disc is not handled 100% correctly by current tools.<br/>
<br/>
I've successfully dumped quite a few Xbox and 360 discs that were signed for retail consoles, including two ...

Re: A non-standard Xbox 360 disc (paging sarami)

<t>I have another one of these discs and was able to dump it successfully with DIC in xbox mode, using an SH-D163B drive with Kreon firmware. I know someone else successfully dumped one of these, because we both submitted dumps within days of each other. If it was User7, did you figure out what the ...

Re: DiscImageCreator

<t>Good news: both of those cards (the StarTech 2 Port PCI IDE Controller Adapter Card, and the IOCrest PCIe SI-PEX40059) both work for me with DIC under Windows 10. The StarTech card is a little hard for me to recommend, however, because it blocks the use of the next slot down on the motherboard ...
