I've noticed a few steam dumped discs from the 2010's (skyrim, fallout nv) have had their NCFs recorded (or at least their checksum). Because they are no longer obtainable through Steam's servers since 2012 (and serve no purpose besides validation) are there any alternatives to retrieve these?

<t>I disabled logging and it seems to be running now? I'm really not sure. Gonna check the checksums when it's done.<br/>

two discs dumped with matching checksums from redump. Trying SFIV right now and it gave me the bad sector error which is either because I bumped the ...

<t>I just purchased both a BenQ and a X360USBPro2. I've been following the guides (I think successfully) to get 0800 firmware installed using jungleflasher and it is now showing up as an active drive.<br/>

Inside the software. it can detect the game data and I can even view folders. But the ...

<t>Come to a solution. <br/>
The problem is 96 bytes attached to the end of every sector, which I assume is Alcohol attaching the SubChannel data to the disc image. I was nearly ready to write a quick application to chop off these 96 bytes, but I found out if you load the mds/mdf in isobuster and ...

<t>Splitting it up into chunks has made this infinitely easier. I've discovered there are 536 to 537 sectors between 213856 and 214392 damaged* by the ring so these are filled with dummy data. One of my attempted reads read the 537th sector, but it didn't pass an ecc/edc check, so not sure if that ...

There are some error sectors in "SYSTEM.LSK", so this isn't "Ring PROTECH" but "Protected by ring" or "Ring Protect"<br/>

I'm at a loss. Using the Optiarc with CDM and I'm getting different number of errors every time I run it again.

edit: Got the same number of errors on two different dumps, but different errors and mismatch on CRC.

<t>I've been avoiding my secuROM discs for a while now because of the inability to 1:1 compare the checksums, but I want to jump in and take care of them now. My only concern is that the guide is fairly vague on what a good dump is.<br/>
