Test complete. The new dump with that test version of DIC produces a bin file with the exact same checksum as an older version of DIC, and it doesn't reread all those errors. Thank you very much.

Today I dumped a PS2 CD game (https://redump.info/disc/32979/ ) and got 3 errors in my .img_EdcEcc.txt file. They are as follows:

Code: Select all

[ERROR] Number of sector(s) where user data doesn't match the expected ECC/EDC: 1
    Sector: 127524, 
[ERROR] Number of sector(s) where sync(0x00 - 0x0c) is invalid: 2
    Sector: 127525, 127526, 
Total errors: 3
Total warnings: 0

The command I used was:

Code: Select all

DiscImageCreator.exe cd F ISO\DORAJOURNEY\DORAJOURNEY.bin 1 /c2 2000 /q

The hash for the resulting DORAJOURNEY.bin file did not match redump, nor did the cuesheet look the same:

Code: Select all

FILE "DORAJOURNEY.bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
    INDEX 02 28:20:24

redump:

Code: Select all

FILE "Nick Jr. Dora the Explorer - Journey to the Purple Planet (USA).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 MODE2/2352
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

When I dump the game in IsoBuster, the resulting file matches redump. I also made another dump a long time ago with ImgBurn using a different drive which also matched redump. I also tried dumping twice in DIC, once at 48x speed and once at 1x. Neither time had any C2 errors and were both done using a PX-716A. Any ideas as to what's going on?

Perhaps same problem. /viewtopic.php?p=24760#p24760
If you have plextor drives except for PX-716, try it.

[jhmiller]

Thanks sarami.
With the new test version I was able to do the dump !!!

[enderghast13]

sarami, I don't have any other Plextors to try it with, but dumping the CD at 8x speed made it match redump.
Thanks you.

Are there any PCI/PCIe IDE/ATA cards that are supported/work with DIC?

I figured out today that the ancient Promise Ultra133 XT2 that I had in my spare parts box is incompatible,[1] but I'm hoping there's a more recent option that will give me at least two extra IDE/ATA ports that I can attach drives to for DIC. All of the i7-compatible motherboards I have only have one IDE/ATA port, and I've got 4-5 format-specific drives with that interface which I'd like to put in my legacy-media-dumping system.

If there's an interest in debugging the Ultra133 problem, I'm happy to help out with that too, but I assume that supporting 15+-year-old cards is not a priority .

[1] I assume because its driver makes attached drives look like SCSI devices instead of ATAPI.

If drives are recognized with your PC, DIC will work.

[Cut Into Fourteen Pieces]

If drives are recognized with your PC, DIC will work.

OK, thank you. I have a bunch of drives that work when attached directly to an IDE port on a motherboard, or via a USB adapter, but fail to read discs via DIC when attached to one of the two ports on the PCI card. They can be used in Windows, just not to dump images via DIC.

I am confident that the PCI card works, because I just used it to dump a disc image of an original Xbox dev kit's hard drive.

I've tried with the following drives just now so that I'd have raw output for you:

- PX-712A
- GDR-8163B
- TS-H352C
- Samsung SM308 (random DVD drive I had laying around which I've gotten good dumps from using other pre-DIC tools)

Here is the output when dumping a standard retail PS2 disc when the first two are connected directly to the motherboard:

[ DiscImageCreator.exe crashes - popup in Windows with error reporting option ]

If this is something you're interested in troubleshooting, I'm happy to buy you one of these cards if it will help, or send you money to buy one yourself. They're old, but there are tons of them out there on eBay, etc.

If there's an equivalent, more modern card that you know works and is < US$100, I'm also happy to just buy it. My goal here is to be able to quickly dump discs without having to power down and swap cables. I try to avoid IDE cable swapping if at all possible, because it's so easy to bend or break the pins.

My fallback plan is to buy a USB => IDE adapter for each of the drives and connect them to a hub inside the tower.

Here is the output when I try to dump the same disc with the drives connected to the Ultra133 PCI card instead:

FormatCode: 43, 69, 6d etc... are not defined. It seems the Ultra133 PCI card doesn't support ReadDiscStructure command. Please try to update the driver of PCI card if not latest.
