Sarami, if you are looking for a challenging protection, get yorself this or this disc.

https://www.medimops.de/infogrames-der- … 6FS55.html

This one from the same publisher has the same protection:

https://www.medimops.de/vivendi-univers … edVeryGood

The process took 18 hours to complete because about 35% of the CD contains unreadable errors!

What protection is this?

How to find out? Gamecopyworld lists it as 'Read errors'.

I checked under debugger that pDirRec[*nDirPosNum].uiDirNameLen = 0. It's an error during mastering phase?

> Is this solved ?

I forgot which dics it was

Hey again, I'm trying to dump a DVD game on my drive, and I'm running into an error that I have not been able to get past. For reference, I tried 2 different DVD-capable drives.

Code: Select all

LBA[2075360, 0x1faae0]: [F:ReadDVD][L:131]
    Opcode: 0xa8
    ScsiStatus: 0x02 = CHECK_CONDITION
    SenseData Key-Asc-Ascq: 03-11-05 = MEDIUM_ERROR - L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR

I did think at first that it was related to it being a DVD-9 but the sector it stops on is not the same as the layerbreak sector (2084960). If there's something I'm missing or need to attach, please tell me. Thanks in advance!

Please try the latest. Btw, does this occur in another tool?

https://redump.info/disc/16920/ -- scrambled contents has the pre-last sector half-scrambled, half-descrambled and the last sector descrambled, so the descrambled dump should have the last sector scrambled and the pre-last sector inverted. It's a common Saturn mastering error. For some reason DIC leaves the last sector as is without scrambling it, that's not correct. And the earlier DIC versions work fine, I remember I've tested such discs, dumps were correct.

Please upload the scrambled and descrambled pre-last sector, and the scrambled and descrambled last sector.

Just had the same problem with Chaos Control
https://redump.info/disc/4999/

had to revert to an older version to get a correct dump

March/17 - correct
May/17 - incorrect
July/17 - incorrect  -  dump is fubar

It took me a while to get back to this. The DVD does appear to have an error ripping with another tool at the exact same sector. I double checked and the disc doesn't have any issues on the surface and nothing appears to be see-through. I'll try the newest DIC anyway, just in case.

Please upload the scrambled and descrambled pre-last sector, and the scrambled and descrambled last sector.
