In the folder the Cue that does not have a Dump after it was done with Imgburn

I did 4 rips 2 from Disc Image Creator 1 from CloneCD and 1 from Imgburn.  None will work in the an emulator except the one from Imgburn, but it doesnt make any logs I could find.  Th issue is that I am using a LG M-Disc DVD burner drive, and not a Plexor so that might be the issue.  when I run the Hex reader this is what I see

Clone CD and the Imgburn is the same for a while then changes the 2 DIC rips (1 is with the /nl and 2 is without) are Identical.

start.


Where things change on the CCD and IB



CloneCD had a lot of missing code but then picks up the same again later down.



If its because I dont have the correct drive and it will be fine when I find one.  Then i will do that.  but if  I can help out in anyway let me know

I'm new at redump too and of course not expert, but I got a similar issue and sarami told me is the Plextor drive indeed because of how CloneCD and other dumping tools works as opposed to DIC

Me and xTMODx have been keeping a close eye on eBay for Plextors. Do you have laptops or desktop computers?

[escarlata]

Sorry to butt in here, I'm interested in getting a Plextor drive too. I have both destop and laptop. What model(s) are the best to get? Should I contact to you via PM? Thanks

Are you selling those? They look great but he doesn't ship to Argentina

[xTMODx]

No those are not from me, i am from Germany.

Hey guys, I just talked with this seller, he can bring shipping costs down to about $20 for shipping in USA:

He also ships internationally and guarantees his drives are working.

LET ME KNOW IF YOU PLAN TO BID AND IF SO ON WHICH ONE! I will likely buy up the rest to have in case anyone needs in the future. But it's best if you buy it to save an extra shipping step.

@Douglie,

If you’re from USA, you should buy one of those 755uf external.

@escarlata,

The best option for you is buy from a member here that already tested the drive and sell for a fair price. xTMODx sold me one this way.

@dizzy,

I pm’ed you about those 755uf drives. You definitely should buy them all.
