Help needed with dumping issues

[jamjam]

I've dumped stuff before but not releases with audio tracks. Anyway, I have dumped a psx game with audio tracks following the guide, with no problems except the last track says there was a sync error. I've re-ripped it multiple times, with the same sync error warning and the same hash each time.

Should I add everything to the database, or just the files with no sync error, or not at all?

The error means that your drive cannot over-read into lead-out and read the end of the audio track.
Your only option as of now, without buying a new drive, is trying the hotswap method.

Thanks for the quick reply. I've tried a different drive but it has the same problem, how common are drives that can't over-read into lead out, and am I right in thinking that it doesn't affect my ability to copy single track releases?

[RiMMER]

Yes, it doesn't affect an ability to copy data tracks.
As for how common they are, I have never had such a drive, I don't know where other people get them

Thanks. Just my luck to get annoying drives. I think I have another somewhere, will try that too. Anything for an easy life.

edit: Third time's the charm. An oldish pioneer worked when a newish freecom and new samsung didn't.

Hello again, I have more issues as I dump different discs. The drive I am using has a read offset of +48.


One release I am trying to copy has a track 2 pregap of 0. So I open track 2 in sector view and it is as shown above, with zeros in the sector until the text you can see. What should I do here?


Another release. Sector 6004 has zeros where there should be scrambled data. This corresponds to note 1 of the guide, which says to use a drive with bigger offset. Is this the only solution? I'm quickly running out of drives
