Dumping discs with Ring Protech

[sarami]

Ok. To be recognized these unnamed protection, I'm coding that reads the filename from external text file.

Btw, It seems CD Media World simply calls these unnamed ring protect "Physical Errors".

@iR0b0t, LoStraniero91
Please tell me the disc title, region and barcode if possible.

Title: Colin McRae Rally 04
Region: I guess Italy but I should investigate more, it's labeled "FX Interactive"
Barcode: 8 436010 151135

https://www.webster.it/videogame-colin_ … 151135.htm Found something with the same barcode.

To Compare with my tool, I'm running your tool using proring disc.
Your tool says.

Code: Select all

D:\!redump\reentranttools\CDArchive.exe -x g -d "D:\!redump" -e 52767 73504 10 3 10 fb D:\!redump\reentranttools\test.bin
Extracting error range forward: 52757 - 73514
Read sector: 52757Extracting error range backwards: 52757 - 73514
Read sector: 73514
Extracted all sectors

But no files extracted. What should I do?

[_Maki]

Code: Select all

D:\!redump\reentranttools\CDArchive.exe -x g -d "D:\!redump" -e 52767 73504 10 3 10 fb D:\!redump\reentranttools\test.bin

"D:\!redump\reentranttools\test.bin" needs to point to the bin file that was dumped before where the ring sector was skipped and replaced with 0x55. CDArchive.exe will try to extract all 0x55 sectors from the CD.

Wow, I forgot about this topic

If you're using version from 23th reply in this thread specify cue path as last argument!

Its version doesn't work for me. I don't know why...
I used the 2nd reply version and confirmed my tool and your tool outputted same hash. Total errors of proring are 755.

Code: Select all

D:\!redump\reentranttools>CDArchive.exe -x g -d "D:\!redump\reentranttools" -e 52776 73493 10 3 10 fb D:\!redump\reentranttools\test.bin

Extracted all sectors

[RibShark]

Optiarc AD-7170S does not appear to be able to read every sector. When attempting to dump https://redump.info/disc/43106/, the drive fails to read sectors 2178-2184. So not all Optiarc drives are good for dumping physical ring protection.

Did you use cdarchive to read backwards with enough read retries?

How many read retries are required on average?

How many read retries are required on average?

You could try with a max of 50 retries. Also be sure first to set the read speed to 4x, by starting a dump at 4x and then retrying cdarchive. If it still wont read so many sectors, I guess you have a wrong model.
