Welcome Yuki!!!
I really appreciated your work at UG! I hope you can contribute here with many rare japanese games for Sega Saturn, PSX and PC Engine!
For DC I don't know, I'm waiting for a proper DC dumping guide to perfect dump my disc collection (not so big, around 20 games). Surely a moderator such as vigi can help with a more competent answer!

This method is bad in one thing: it doesn't consider combined read+write offset. Though it's relatively easy to fix these dumps: combined offset can be calculated by dumping 1st session using our guide and then comparing it with dump made from the console. Then all audio tracks in 2nd session should be shifted by the combined offset.

Thank you.
It is little BAD news.
Because I have already resold DC of 100 or more. Image

It is another one question.

I am personally collecting 3DO.
How does 3DO do Dump?
3DO is single DATA TRACK CD.

You just 'Right mouse button on Track 01 -> Extract Track 01 -> Extract RAW Data (2352 bytes/block) (*.bin, *.iso);' in IsoBuster..

Are not you permitted excluding IsoBuster?
I am preserving everything with MODE1/2048.ISO.
And, most 3DO has been resold.
3DO that remains at hand is about 50.

Sorry, we only dump in RAW 2352.. MODE1/2048 is used by TOSEC already so there's no point in doing the same.

OK!
However, 3DO of TOSEC is very few.
Is it meaningless to convert MODE1/2048 into 2352?
