Even if I use your parameters (/viewtopic.php?p=23661#p23661) I get the same CDB error.

If I use, 08 /c2 2000 8192 08, RAW mode is indeed used, but Motor Mash still fails to dump.

Speedread is indeed not supported according to PlexTools XL, so that explains the error.

Man, you have a X-File...

Even the older PX-W4824TA/TU drive can support that. More or less supports the same functions than Premium / Premium II and authentic PX-7xx drives, except Gigarec, that piece of pure trash named Silent Mode (due to this my PX-755SA won't read any pressed CD at 24x or higher speeds, 8x is the maximum speed), PowerRec and quality scans. Hide CD-R media, force single session mode and SpeedRead are available for any real Plextor drive I own.

Installed software which installs filter drives? My system is completely clean, absolutely 0 3rd party filter drivers and 0 drivers for virtual drives. And will stay that way.

A parameter in order to avoid DIC controlling this feature is needed, I guess.

Hmmm....Plextools says it's an 708UF WIndows tells me it's a 708A. Firmware can be used for both. I cleared any third party virtuel drives. SPTD drivers are uninstalled.

[pablogm123]

PX-708UF, 'nuff said... ATAPI to USB bridge chip cannot pass properly certain low level commands for sure. At least my external PX-W4824TU supports these things properly, ATAPI to USB bridge chip is NEC, as far I remember, supposedly the best ones. Perhaps for the PX-708UF drive Plextor decided to implement a cheaper brand and thus support for certain low level commands isn't 100% OK.

My PX-708A does not support speedread either, but my PX-716A does.

I understood that PX-708 didn't support speedread.

Fixed.

Solved X-File?

One thing... why don't implement an ultra-secure mode?

"ultrasecure n" Where n would be the number of read passes.

Idea is basically this one:

-Read multiple times the disc, as defined by n. I mean read the entire disc from AMSF 00:02:00 until the last pre-lead-out sector, and then read it another time, same method. Not to read n times 24 sectors (or whatever number of sectors read by DIC in a read command), the next 24 sectors n times and so on.

-If dumps of multiple passes do match and there are no C2 errors, create the final dump as usual.

-If they missmatch and at least one of them contains C2 errors, then cross/combine the C2 errors reported by the n passes and reread the questionable sectors until they can be recovered or limit of rereads for individual sectors is exhausted.

@sarami Interesting read that article. Seems the drive can dump safedisc up until 2.8 without problems. (Read create a correct burnable image) does this mean emulation is required to run the dumped image from 2.9 and up? If so, which drive can dump 2.9 and upward correctly?

SD 2.9

EDIT:
rumor level, dont be serious.
I have H-L GSA-4040B, but have no SD2.9(up) games.

Yes, I understand... no FUA for D8 command

sptd.Cdb[0]  = 0xD8;
sptd.Cdb[1]  = (FUAbit << 3);
sptd.Cdb[2]  = byte((TargetSector>>24)&0xFF); // msb
sptd.Cdb[3]  = byte((TargetSector>>16)&0xFF);
sptd.Cdb[4]  = byte((TargetSector>>8)&0xFF);
sptd.Cdb[5]  = byte((TargetSector)&0xFF);     // lsb
sptd.Cdb[6]  = byte((NbSectors>>24)&0xFF);    // msb
sptd.Cdb[7]  = byte((NbSectors>>16)&0xFF);
sptd.Cdb[8]  = byte((NbSectors>>8)&0xFF);
sptd.Cdb[9]  = byte((NbSectors)&0xFF);        // lsb

Taken from http://club.myce.com/attachments/f61/20 … hexsrc.zip

FUAbit == "True", if 0xD8(FUA) is supported by the drive, so, sptd.Cdb[1] = 1 << 3 = 1*2*2*2 = 8.
