EAC pregap detection

[ssjkakaroto]

Hi, I noticed that using EAC's detection Mode A and B give me completely different gap values. With mode A most gaps are 2 sec, using mode B they are usually non-integer and smaller than 2 sec.
Which one is the correct?

Also if the pregap is 2.01 what's its size?

TIA

Yes, you can use the cd dumping guide for PC games (as long as they don't have protections like SafeDisc or SecuROM). Same question answered here also: viewtopic.php?id=1998

Hey Vigi, you just answered my question before I edited it. I found that post right after I posted that one. Sorry

Except for 1 drive which requires method B, all the others I have work right using method A.

The problem is that I'm getting inconsistent results with my 3 drives.
Plextor W2410A:
Track1 (data) pregap: 2.00
Track2 pregap: 2.01
Tracks3-22 pregaps: 2.00

NEC 3540A:
Tracks1-21 pregaps: 2.00
Track22 pregap: 1.74

LG 4521B:
Track1 pregap: 2.00
Track2 pregap: 2.02
Tracks3-22 pregaps: 2.00

What can I do in this case?

Ugh that's nasty. Which disc is it? Console or PC?

[ssjkakaroto]

Hexen for PC (Made in Canada)

I really don't know, my disc reported all perfect 2.00 pregaps. Maybe someone knows more.

Do the tracks match the euro version checksums if dumped with 2.00 gap?

BTW I have the same problem with some SegaCD discs. There's a fault in either EAC or the drives.
