Quake II pc offset & gap

[pnkiller78]

Finally I want to know how much do I have to remove from the data track, is it just the 1.73 pregap or the fact that there's a 2 sector correction has some influence?

I removed just the 1.73 pregap, if you hexedit the track, and backtrack the pregap length (1.73 - 148 sectors - 348096 bytes) from the end of the track, you will see the garbage data, 1 byte more and you will see the last sector, sync data, ecc headers, etc. just remove the pregap and you will have your track 1

@pnkiller, what's the offset difference between the 2 Hexen II dumps? are you sure there isn't a sector offset caused by the bug?

Vigi, could you repost track samples for your Hexen II dump, this thing is taking to long
I tried to download the ones you posted earlier, but they are not available on the server anymore

Hey pnkiller78, here's a remotediff for track 11 can you make a patch for me?

Also if possible for track 1: http://www.speedyshare.com/650245949.html

Vigi can you update my Q2 dump with this info? I think it's correct, except maybe for the track 11 issue.

Vigi, these are my findings with Hexen II, I was able to get all your tracks, but the offset was weird on every track, I dumped the disc on single bin file using the plextor drive (+30 drive offset) using ISOBuster, the used the track method using a starting position for the first audio track the size of the american version first data track, this is my script

Code: Select all

psxt001z --track "HexenII.bin" 188910288 33313728 05f0680d + s "Hexen II (E) (Track 02).bin"

and here are the results, all the track were found, but the offset correction didn't stay constant, it shifted between track

Code: Select all

Track 02 Offset correction: 5832 bytes / 1458 samples
Track 03 Offset correction: 5832 bytes / 1458 samples
Track 04 Offset correction: 5836 bytes / 1459 samples
Track 05 Offset correction: 5824 bytes / 1456 samples

Track 13 Offset correction: 5816 bytes / 1454 samples
Track 14 Offset correction: 5828 bytes / 1457 samples
Track 15 Offset correction: 5860 bytes / 1465 samples
Track 16 Offset correction: 5820 bytes / 1455 samples
Track 17 Offset correction: 5820 bytes / 1455 samples

Also, when I examined the bin files, I noticed that some tracks begin earlier in your dump and other got portions of the previous track at the beginning of the dump, look this example of your Track 04, the audio start in the position 0x53C
In my dump the audio start at position 0x0 on all audio track with 0 seconds pregap, and all the track ends with zeros, look in the dump of your Track 05 the audio start at position 0x548, and the track has portions of the previous track, at least compared to my dump.

Also, I included sample tracks of my dump for you to get a better idea of what I'm talking about.
I don't why IdSoftware or Activition mastered this disk like this... it's weird...

Hey pnkiller78, here's a remotediff for track 11 can you make a patch for me?
http://www.speedyshare.com/136917703.html
Edit:
Also if possible for track 1: http://www.speedyshare.com/650245949.html

Sure, here they are both

[ssjkakaroto]

Thanks!
I've made a patch to convert Track 11 (B) -> (U) in case you want to take a look: http://www.speedyshare.com/820954485.html
After a certain point your file is blank while mine has data:

[pnkiller78]

It's funny, it's exactly 0x930 bytes, 1 sector... the amount of data that you have in your track it's one sector... even if my dump was made with a big negative offset drive, I tried playing with the offset correction on EAC, but no luck, the LiteOn drive can see any data after 0x14B40A0, in your dump the data end at 0x14B49D0; maybe it was manufactured that way, I don't know... the plextor drive even loose data before that position without sync errors.. in  the LiteOn if I increment the offset it 2 sectors it start to show sync errors.

[ssjkakaroto]

"the plextor drive even loose data before that position without sync errors"
what did you mean here?
