Absolutely.
If you need more tests, ask me.

Hi, what does (*4) mean her e? (Was wondering about compatibility of W1210)
https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImag … ve.txt#L54

Edit: Sorry, I missed note below. So only PX-W1210TS is supported?

Yes.

Glad to see a new /t command !

To summarize what was happening before it

Forwards reading 287900-288200 :

- "cd d: dump.bin 8 /be raw /c2" + manual work         C3E9D88B    no errors
- "data d: dump.bin 8 287900 288200 /be raw"          C3E9D88B    no errors
- "data d: dump.bin 8 287900 288200 /be raw /c2"     C3E9D88B    no errors
- "data d: dump.bin 8 287900 288200 /be raw /c2 /f"    variable        all 0x55 (288173-288183)
- "data d: dump.bin 8 287900 288200 /be raw /f"          variable        all 0x55 (288173-288183)

Backwards reading 287900-288200 :

- "data d: dump.bin 8 287900 288200 /be raw /r"          variable *    no errors
- "data d: dump.bin 8 287900 288200 /be raw /r /f"       variable        all 0x55 + invalid mode (288173-288183)

Forwards reading 287922-288172 :

- "cd d: dump.bin 8 /be raw /c2" + manual work        DA3582FC        no errors
- "data d: dump.bin 8 287922 288172 /be raw /c2"    DA3582FC        no errors

Backwards reading 287922-288172 :

- "data d: dump.bin 8 287922 288172 /be raw /r"         variable **    no errors ***
- "data d: dump.bin 8 287922 288172 /be raw /r /f"      variable        all 0x55 (288173) ***

* often C3E9D88B
** often DA3582FC
*** most of the time

What is happening now with it

- "data d: dump.bin 8 287900 288200 /be raw /t"

Takes forever to get passed 288173-288183 for each retry round, but should be able to finish with enough time

- "data d: dump.bin 8 287922 288172 /be raw /t"

     19D8C363 (2 out of 6 attempts) but always with one error right after the first reread

- "data d: dump.bin 8 287922 288162 /be raw /t"

Seems to work pretty well if the last twin sectors are ignored

1. The BW-16D1HT is usually having a hard time with /f
2. I'm guessing /t implicitly uses /f for backwards reading

Is /f usage in /t mandatory ?

NB: the error right after the first reread is :

Code: Select all

LBA[288173, 0x465ad]: [F:ProcessReadCD][L:335]
        Opcode: 0xbe
        ScsiStatus: 0x02 = CHECK_CONDITION
        SenseData Key-Asc-Ascq: 03-11-05 = MEDIUM_ERROR - L-EC UNCORRECTABLE ERROR

Is /f usage in /t mandatory ?

No, it's using by default.

I tried MotoRacer 3 (USA) and found that 1st and 2nd twin sector was hard to read, thus it's difficult to get the identical hash.

NB: the error right after the first reread is :

Yes, it often occurs.

Anyway, this is an awesome feature, well done sarami!

Maybe we should start a dedicated thread so that everybody can post their widest range with BadSectorCnt=0, identical hash, drive info, for every Tages disc...

[shfil]

sarami, btw have you seen this info? Seems like plextor as well as other companies have agreed to block reading discs with Cactus or safedisc 2.0. (Seems like it's a change in firmware and newer revisions (TLA) are not able to be flashed with older firmware.)

PX-W2410 (from link)
    TLA#0000 - copies everything
    TLA#0100 - doesn't copy CDS 100 and some CDS 200
    TLA#0101 - doesn't copy 100 i 200 and there are problems with copying games

https://www.cdrinfo.pl/news/tla-w-plext … 2410-1385/

Here about safedisc 2.0. List of good firmwares (Plextor intentionally has removed it from website):
Plextor PX-W1210A 1.01 i 1.04
Plextor PX-W124 - 1.04
Plextor PX-W8432 - 1.05
PX-W8220T - 1.04
(Newer TLA aka revision may be not able to use old firmware)

I wonder, if there are potentially more drivers which could be used for redump.

@shfil
Please use this drive rather than those older drives first.
