DiscImageCreator

[shfil]

I do have PX-4012 and Premium. Just recently was looking at getting information about replacement lasers for plextors, and this seemed interesting for me.

The following issue was encountered with DiscImageCreator 20230606:

Do you know if DiscImageCreator is stripping out subcode channels R through W in the .sub file?
I recently dumped a CD+G disc with both CloneCD and DiscImageCreator. Testing the ccd/img/sub produced by CloneCD on my Sega Saturn produces the graphics I expect. With the ccd/img/sub produced by DiscImageCreator, it does not produce any graphics whatsoever, as though it was a plain audio CD.

Pack mode sub is needed.

Code: Select all

    struct _PLXTR_READ_CDDA {
        enum _SUB_CHANNEL_SELECTION {
            NoSub = 0,
            MainQ = 1,        // Main data + Formatted Q sub-channel data
            MainPack = 2,    // Main data + Raw P-Q + Corrected and de-interleaved R-W sub-channel data
            Raw = 3,        // Raw P-W sub-channel data
            MainC2Raw = 8    // Main data + C2 error data + Raw P-W sub-channel data
                            // 4 to 7, 9 to 255 is reserved
        } SUB_CHANNEL_SELECTION, *PSUB_CHANNEL_SELECTION;
    } PLXTR_READ_CDDA, *PPLXTR_READ_CDDA;

Without /c2, you can get the pack mode sub.

DIC sub CloneCD_sub
In _subReadable.txt, I noticed it is not logging any TV-GRAPHICS instructions for track 01, even though the first track of this disc has CD+G content.

Is this the correct command syntax, or is there a particular flag I need to provide for "Pack mode sub"?

Code: Select all

cd H:\ Information Society - Information Society (USA).bin 8 /q /s 2

Uploaded test version. https://www.mediafire.com/file/eq80y20l … st.7z/file

Does not work. I tested with the latest nightly build of ares with its CD+G support for MegaCD.
When I replaced the DIC-generated .sub with the one generated by CloneCD, CD+G works.

You can test CD+G for yourself with the nightly build here: https://github.com/ares-emulator/ares/r … ag/nightly

Retry to dump using /c2. I confirmed that DIC-generated .sub (also CloneCD .sub) works by the other CD+G supported player (https://www.vector.co.jp/download/file/ … 27763.html). ares --- I don't know how to read the ccd-img-sub format.

[bikerspade]

Excellent, when I re-dumped with the /c2 flag re-enabled, CD+G works.

I saw something odd in the _20240216T230252.txt file (see the last line below):

Code: Select all
