There are two problems:
When I use DIC supplied with MPF, Build 20210401T101950, if that helps, and dumping PS2 GameShark disc with /sf flag, after initial pass it tries to re-read some C2 sectors from BIG.DAT and as it never gets a match, dumping fails.
For other PS2 unlicensed I often get improper dumps with wrong error count, it deviates from 4475 errors count for such discs. All these discs are clean and I currently dump them using the earlier DIC version which always yields the exact 4475 errors. That version you built after I mentioned this earlier error count deviation and it always works for me.

I only support the latest version. It's now 20211001T112852.

I will use that.

I downloaded the newest DIC version from the website and the problem is still there. I did 2 dumps of clean GameShark 2 disc and I'm getting different results (4476 vs 4477) errors.
Let me know if logs would be useful, I'll upload them.

Is there any desire to add support for accessing (Old Macintosh) HFS format discs? there are several open source projects that can show how it is done (hfsutils/C, HFSExplorer/Java).

It would make listing correct Contents much easier.

I have a LaserLock Marathon disc with the protected file named "SNGM" in a directory called "SNGM" alongside two other files ("SNGM.010" and "SNGM.011") that do not have read errors. Adding "SNGM" to ReadErrorProtect.txt causes DIC to ignore all three files and sector 18 where the directory is defined. Is there a way to better define which file to skip so it only skips "/SNGM/SNGM"?

Does LaserLock Marathon always have "SNGM.010" and "SNGM.011"?

No, this is for Fair Strike which already has an entry in the DB but I want to verify. Other LaserLock Marathon games use different files.

(sidenote: I am fairly confident that all games in the DB with "LaserLock Star" protection ate actually Marathon, the timings match much better to when Marathon was released.)

Define only filename and extension.

There is no extension
