There are also RDI Halcyon and Palcom PX-7. And MSX also has VHD releases.

It has its own line of CDs, needs to be examined. If those are simple Video CDs - no interest, but if they have data tracks with some kind of a program to be run - should be dumped.

So would these properly dump in DIC with a Plextor?

Also do GDRoms properly dump in DIC with a Plextor? I haven't found any info on this and the wiki guide isn't for DIC.

Sarami if that disc is only 180 yen and has cheap shipping buy it, test it / dump it, and I'll paypal you a refund... assuming the format is relevant to redump.org

Those are multisessional, iR0b0t said he could add the support, but he needs a proper description of those REM SESSION fields/structure.

** Method 2 (Other tools)
 /viewtopic.php?t=6882

** Method 3
1. insert the audio trap disc to a supported drive.
2. run below. (stop spinning disc)
   DiscImageCreator.exe stop [DriveLetter]
3. use a pin to press the escape eject button, so the tray will eject (or remove
   the drive cover).
4. insert the gdrom and gently push the tray back (or put the drive cover back on).
5. run below. (start rippping gdrom)
   DiscImageCreator.exe gd [DriveLetter] foo.bin [DriveSpeed(0-72)]
I confirmed this with TS-H353A, but jhmiller couldn't confirm by dic method though he used the same drive and firmware. I don't know the reason.
