Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions
I recently picked up a Lite-On SOHD-167T but CD Tools gives me a CIRC error every time I've attempted to make an image and DCDumper gives me nonstop read errors.
If I'm understanding the guide on Wiki correctly I'm to do the following for method C:
Run CD Tool
Insert trap CD
Run startstop
Pin eject and replace with DC game
Make image with CD Tool as per specified settings.
Am I doing something wrong here? Is removing the cover a requirement for this drive?

Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions
Is this currently the best guide for dumping GD-Roms? In the DIC thread it says it's a supported format, so is DIC better to dump than the methods in this thread?
Please advise as I have a Dreamcast collector friend that might be interested in helping. Thanks

Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions
Yes, this is abnormally many non-matches.
It *is* hard to match sections (with 1 and 40 being the worst), but normally at the second pass you should be getting at least 10-15 sessions matching with any good quality disc, potentially even more. And the entire disc matched within about 10 passes in most cases with disc in good condition.
We have seen cases with erratic behavior like that, where it proved better to stop and start the dumping from scratch. Ie eject disc, redo the trap disc and start again). As a rule of thumb, any dump that is going on for more than 1.30-2 hours, will never complete properly or will turn out bad even if matches found.
If your drive still behaves like that after some tries, adjusting the pot with help of a multimeter should be a last resort measure before declaring the drive bad.

Hello maddog thanks for the quick replay,
I have cleaned the laser and will try again,
I have one other question, what is the difference between dumping the disc on PC and on the dreamcast with GD ripper ?
Re: Dreamcast/NAOMI GD-ROM dumping instructions
Dumping on Dreamcast omits certain pregap sectors (only affects the discs with more than 1 track in HD area), also it seems the GD ripping tool doesn't recheck the dumped data, so you need to dump every disc multiple times to ensure its data consistency. Also, some of Dreamcast drives seem to be unsuitable for dumping (they produce weird errors in data and also have an unusual read offset).Nextria wrote:I have one other question, what is the difference between dumping the disc on PC and on the dreamcast with GD ripper ?

Okay so the best way is on a pc. What drive is the best to use ?
