Let's hope so. This title has been dumped more often than anything else
test7.7z

Ok. Adr6 has been fixed. Thanks for all testing.

Hey sarami, can you please check these logs as I have these discs with SecuROM (unknown version, but the scan reveals it) that will dump without the intentional SecuROM error. Thank you.

Yes, there is not SecuROM error in _subError.txt. Probably, it is deactivated.

Very weird indeed. First log is for Might & Magic VI and with PCem it acts just like other old SecuROM games: it just hangs when launching it. Second log is Jeff Wayne and it runs fine. Do you need more data/logs for them?

1. What is the region? GER, JPN, KOR, and USA don't have the protection. https://redump.info/discs/system/pc/letter/m/?page=3
2. How about other emulators or virtual machines (Virtual Box, VMware)?

1. Both games have 2 discs and are ITA.
2. Other emulatos won't work, VMWare only supports Direct3D acceleration/emulation starting from Windows XP. But I do have a PC with W98.

Also, I can do further tests because these games were sent by McNelly and he had issues with them and this pesky SecuROM. It's just confusing and I hope to be done with them in short time.

Ok sarami I have some updates:

Jeff Wayne works fine with PCem, probably a false positive.
But M&MIV is weird: I have installed the game on the 98 machine and it simply refuses to run even with the disc (not the one I've sent you the logs, but the "Play Disc"). But there's a catch: if I enable the SecuROM emulation in Daemon Tools, the game will boot with the bin/cue image. Seems like they screwed up the SecuROM protection while mastering the discs (it's a released by Wanted Games). There's no SecuROM sector but there are some leftovers that will still cause issues.

Hi Sarami,

Just wondering if you could make DIC save the console output into a log file automatically, like the one below?
I know all the necessary information can be found in other files but this could give us a quick overview of the whole dumping process. What do you think?

DopefishJustin submitted a verification for this disc: https://redump.info/disc/65563/

The audio tracks all seem to the data starting 4 bytes later than Nexy's Plextor dump. So the offset difference is 1 sample.

It was dumped with ASUS BW-16D1HT . Logs: http://interbutt.com/misc/WARCRAFT2_X_logs.zip

We need to know if this is a problem with the ASUS drives. I've warned before that we can't really trust them because it's all just experimental and never fully tested, yet DIC keeps supporting them and now perhaps the DB is being filled with bad dumps that are done with these drives.

edit: And here another ASUS dump: /viewtopic.php?p=69657#p69657 where all tracks match this dump https://redump.info/disc/71231/ except the last track. Could it be cut off data? Or just a different pressing?
