Has all the pieces... but no offset correction - but that can be done with another ...

Better fire up my trusty portable SEM and get the real story! 

Haha, actually, no joke, didn't someone try dumping a CD this way once?

Yup, I've got a 760.  I'll try anything.

Better to over-dump than under-dump!

<t>I'm waiting to rip my CD (PC game) collection. I'm mainly hung up by the issue of subs.<br/>

Should I:<br/>
1. Ignore them if there's no copy protection that uses them<br/>
2. Dump them with Alcohol or perfectrip<br/>
3. Wait for new dumping tools (just read about these recently: trurip ...

<t>Gotcha, agreed.<br/>
<br/>
EAC does match PR if the right mode is selected. I go for the one that agrees with the sector view (scrambled data = beginning of gap).<br/>
<br/>
Sub dump... could you provide a link or explain how to go about solving these issues?<br/>

<t>Seems the closed nature of MDS will kill it (didn't know ccd was readable! cool!). <br/>
<br/>
My biggest concern was that CUE was not up to the task of perfectly recreating the original structure of the disk and that MDS somehow did (mainly because of my inability in the past to dump audio cds ...

<t>I had a few technical questions about these two descriptor files. <br/>
<br/>
I understand cue is to tag and break up a bin files into the right components/sections on a CD. MDS does the same. <br/>
<br/>
However, doesn't CUE have some limitations? Aren't there certain scenarios or weird non ...
