Dumping Laserlock CD's

Post by Nexy »

How to dump these? I tried ddump and it doesn't seem to work very well with them. I tried the laserlock switch, and dumping them twice, but it doesn't use the .log to skip sectors like it does with safedisc switch.

I checked the dump in CDMage and ALL sectors on the disc have errors according to it.

The game I am trying to dump is CD1 of Traitor's Gate from Dreamcatcher games.

That's really odd. I remember dumping this disc with ddump. If I remember correctly I even did it twice, with and without the laserlock switch, on my LG GH20NS10. Worked like a charm both times. Maybe you should try again with a drive that doesn't skip the erroneous sectors like your Plextor does.

Then again, other Laserlock revisions might behave differently, I don't know. Apart from this one disc, I haven't had any experience with that particular protection.

Just dumping with ddump with no special format switches, and dumping twice with the log did the trick. Thanks. =]
