Redump Forum

I'm having a real hard time finding any of the verified Plextor drives recommended on the DIC Readme.
I've noticed, though, there are two BD drives listed under the CD (media). Can these models dump CDs correctly? Or I'm reading it wrongly and they refer to dumping BD discs (PS4 and XO)?

If you already have these drives, please try. If not so, try this /viewtopic.php?p=24568#p24568 using the drive you have now.

I'm trying to figure out if everything will need to be redumped. Fine if necessary, but the sooner we have an answers / solution, the more helpful it will be.

A new disc was added today: https://redump.info/disc/52142/

And as I said, another dozen are ready to be dumped when we have the answers...

I don't think everything will need to be redumped, non-zero data doesn't go upto the very end of the last track, so the offset can be fixed quite safely, we just need to define some standard.

I'm in touch with a dumper about dumping some rare 3DO discs including Dinopark Tycoon, the disc is perfectly clean but he is getting c2 errors on this disc when dumping with DIC. Schrodinger said 3DO discs have had issues with DIC in the past,, here are the logs https://www.dropbox.com/s/uql7n11i9iiqk … 9.zip?dl=0

Well, c2 errors are reported by the drive, not by the tool. According to the log, a couple of errors were fixed, but the process was stopped by the user. I'd recommend to wait for the process to finish normally.

Uploaded in test branch.

Hi sarami. I have a stupid question. All of my batch files I use for dumping CDs with DIC have the "/d8" flag. However, some people I've talked to said that they don't use the /d8 flag.

As long as a proper Plextor is used, will it make a difference if that flag is or isn't used?

Uploaded test version.
-added: support xbox security sector dumping (needs kreon's drive)

Why xbox preserves the hash of Physical Format Information (PFI) and Manufacturing Information (DMI) in comments?
All DVD based disc (gc/wii, ps2 etc) have PFI and DMI but there isn't the hash in comments except xbox.

No difference, but some ide-usb controller can't get the drive name, so user who uses such a controller needs this flag.

Probably because we never got to dump them. It would require that all dumpers run XBC just to get this info. If you can make DIC output this info it can surely be added
