<t>I had a similar thing happen to my SH-D162D (which I think is almost the same drive). At some point it started to choke on certain parts of the HD zone and it was never again able to read any DC discs completely, but regular CDs and DVDs were fine.<br/>

If so, we should put a big warning in the forums or just hide the PC Engine section entirely. Otherwise, some people might start buying or dumping stuff, only to be told that they shouldn't.

So, do I put all my stuff on hold, too? Because I'm not going to go through all the hassle of manually cutting and checking the gaps and everything if it's not recommended to add PCE dumps to the database...

<t>That method doesn't work with negative offsets because the "garbage" you would see is actually the last part of the last data sector, in scrambled form, which gets pushed into the audio track precisely because of the positive offset. If the offset is negative you can't see it because it's ...

Data tracks have the same offset, but it gets corrected automatically by the drive, using the sync marks (those 00 FF FF FF... at the start of each sector) as reference.

The CD32 is probably the most versatile console ever. I have an SX-1 expansion module and that thing is awesome, it pretty much transforms the console into a full, expandable A1200 with a built-in CD-ROM drive. The only thing it's missing is the PCMCIA slot.

I think there were some discussions about the gaps of the data tracks, yeah, but even if the images need to be fixed it's just a 1-sector shift that wouldn't need any radical changes. And we need to dump the remaining games anyway, so...

I have a PC Engine list almost ready. I just have to check a few games and I'll post it on the wiki.

I think it was included with the MGS:TS special edition of the console (not the game). If I remember correctly it's a port of the NES version of the first Metal Gear.
