The maze of the kings dump

[Fhrans]

Hello,
I already dumped the LD area and renamed the files track 01, track 02 and track 03.
What would be the next step to be able to create the rom and play in Demul or Flycast?
Without that step, everything I've done above won't do any good.
Thank you.

Demul won't play redump roms.

I think flycast does. You just open the .cue file with the app, you don't combine the bins into any other file. Leave the cue and bins in the same directory and open the cue file with flycast.

I attach the 3 tracks and the .cue file to see if you can review and test it:

I have tried to load it from the cue in Flycast but it doesn't work.
Thanks!

I'm not sure because I don't use flycast, you should probably ask them for help as this isn't a Flycast support forum. And you should not be posting roms here, it is against website rules.

Sorry about posting the rom, I didn't remember.

When comparing the hashes of the track 1 and track 2 of the LD area with those of the Arcade - Sega - Naomi - Datfile (27) (2021-11-10 21-30-52).dat, they do not match. I do not understand why? I did the dump with the best drive, the PX-W4012A. On the wiki.redump.org website he makes the comment (Best drive to dump with, reads errors better). It did the dump at 100% and gave no errors.

These are the hashes of the Arcade - Sega - Naomi - Datfile (27) (2021-11-10 21-30-52).dat:

For your experience in dumps. Is it possible that the hashes don't match and the dump is correct?

Thanks!

I have already been able to check the hashes of the LD area at https://redump.info/disc/69439/ and they are correct.
I have posted on insertmorecoins.es to run the ROM on Flycast.
Thanks for everything!

Hello,
I made the query in insertmorecoins.es but they have not been able to find the following problem:
I have dumped the HD and LD area and later checked the hashes, which were correct.
They told me that apart from the GD-ROM, the board of The maze of the Kings has a chip with game information, which also has to dump the information.
I combined my HD and LD area dump files, converted to chd (gds-0022.chd) with the .zip file (mok.zip, the motherboard dump file, not the GD-ROM) downloaded from the internet in order to run the game on Flycast but I get the following error:
ERROR 01 THIS GAME IS NOT ACCEPTABLE BY MAIN BOARD
What can it be if the dump is done correctly, since the hashes coincide and the mok.zip file downloaded from the Internet, works for me with another gds-0022.chd also downloaded from the Internet?

[fran]

Can you help me please?
I am in the last phase and after all the effort I made, I would like to make it work.
Thank you.

I think we'd all be fascinated to know if a GD Rom drive could properly dump for HD area, does a regular computer have the capacity to recognize it? This could open doors for properly dumping GD-Rs. Would love to see some tests if we can figure out how to hook it up to a Windows computer. Though it's unlikely to have the same full feature set as a plextor for dumping LD area.

They won't work as PC drives, they have a proprietary interface, no drivers for them exist (Linux has something skeleton, iirc, but that's all).
