also in usa mega cd disc format specification it says pauses should be >=2sec. and somewhat strange thing is for example with 1st cd: G-6001, spliting tracks by detected gaps cuts data in half but if not detection is used pauses align nicely at the beginning and end of each track. still i think no data is lost, total size of audio tracks differ only by postgap but it's always 00, isn't it? so like if all tracks were put back togeather in img or bin no matter what gaps was full crc would be always the same. only cue differ.

You can find lots of unopened retro-games in Japanese stores - just look at FDS dumping on No-Intro's forum, and most of the items in this shop are located in Japan.

So can we add a PCE-CD section? Now that I can use PerfectRip I can rip that odd CD too.

Somebody should try to contact with necstasy.net owner, he should know some tricks and possible issues in PCE-CD dumping.

I added my first PCE dump

Things to note:

1) cuesheet is manually edited based on gaps reported by EAC: since the CD layout isn't standard at all, EAC doesn't automatically list all tracks in the .cue, but only the first audio track, while PerfectRip gives an error on last data track, so it doesn't save the .cue

2) I dumped both data tracks with IsoBuster: I resized track02 by 2:00, which is track03 pregap

3) both data tracks have a 2.74 (526848 bytes) pregap I attached using psxt001z, because IsoBuster doesn't dump pregap before data tracks: this way the total sector count of the dump is right and matches the actual CD

gigadeath, could you please give a list of games you dumped. if i have some of them we could compare again early on like with sega to avoid possible errors.
