Sarami is it possible for DIC to properly dump DVDs that have data in two layers?

Perhaps, it's not possible due to the filesystem problem.

I've got some trouble with the PC game Silver, Italian original version, protected with SecuROM.
Any drive produce a different dump with different hashes on CD2, while CD1 gets dumped correctly.
I did the tests on the 760A, 716A, 716SA and W5224A, all the dumps have 49 errors instead of just 1 like all the SecuROM CDs.
Usurper back in 2017 /viewtopic.php?p=34937#p34937 had a similar problem with his German version discs, and somehow you've managed to fix that, hopefully you can do the same for these discs here.
Here's the three set of logs: https://mega.nz/folder/RlEjiQKI#GBRfDCPMCNWzB5f0j2eXdQ
Let me know if you need something more, i will help and do other tests if it's necessary.
EDIT: Added the logs for disc 1 as well, maybe you want to check that too.

Quick update to this issue, i've managed to dump the disc correctly (matching isobuster/clonecd/other drives dumps) using the three flags /np /nq /nr instead of the single /ns flag, and then manually extracting the SecuROM sectors from the .sub file, as Jackal instructed me how to do it with "psxt001z --libcrypt" command.
I've added a SILVER.CD2_logs.zip file to the previous mega link if you want to check the logs, it might be useful for you, or at least i hope so.

Sarami, is there any downside to adding the "/be pack" command when dumping DC HD Area?

Someone recently told me it helped them and I'm thinking of adding it to the default command in the dumping guide.

Also, DIC is reporting HD Area data tracks as "AUDIO" in the cues FYI https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/ … GZxPi7Vkvh

Due to "/be pack", _mainError.txt is so big size. This option is not need for Plextor.

Can't help at all? Not in any circumstances?

Why? /viewtopic.php?p=24165#p24165

Just looking for details to help the dumping guide, thank you.

Hi sarami,

I think I found a bug in DIC.
I have this CD-R audio CD.

DIC logs

DIC determines an incorrect track 1 / track 2 boundary.
This is what IsoBuster shows for the disc.

DIC produces the following:

Code: Select all

<rom name="PGS - Promo Disc (USA) (Track 1).bin" size="25552128" crc="169df37b" md5="e3428a7bb35692ea9625202190220206" sha1="42da4a8b5171e1b3b66a0511611ac2671e402b13" />
<rom name="PGS - Promo Disc (USA) (Track 2).bin" size="28602672" crc="42f4fccc" md5="1c2daf66fa7b437808da638622c8bdf4" sha1="60d20f2c386c74531dd12c8b91ad174e92690d1f" />

Code: Select all

FILE "PGS - Promo Disc (USA) (Track 1).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 01 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00
FILE "PGS - Promo Disc (USA) (Track 2).bin" BINARY
  TRACK 02 AUDIO
    INDEX 01 00:00:00

This is what I think DIC should produce instead:

Code: Select all

<rom name="PGS - Promo Disc (USA) (Track 1).bin" size="25199328" crc="f6d1e0ec" md5="35e6f50c3e0ec2628dd14ee3495600ff" sha1="4b3312cfd071c7010d4a3c6949216ffad764bfc2" />

Code: Select all

FILE "PGS - Promo Disc (USA) (Track 1).bin" BINARY

    INDEX 01 00:02:00

LBA 10714 belongs to the track 2 but I think DIC takes it as a part of track 1 and just goes 150 sectors deeper than needed
similar issue is LBA 23025, it's part of lead-out if you carefully pay attention

I'm not sure because I don't have GD-R. Can dump GD-R without /be?

That fixed the problem with this disc. Thank you!

Do you upload logs if possible? I want to see if it's fixed as I expected.
