Absolutely.
If you need more tests, ask me.

Uploaded test version for Tages.

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"

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

     3095FB60 (4 out of 6 attempts) with no errors

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 :

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.

Nemok wrote: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...

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.
