Sega CD 32X questions

I bought one of them today and am in the process of dumping it. Do you think I should put it under the mega-cd section with 32X in the version or edition or what? There is only 5 so I don't think it needs it's own part of the database what you guys think?


Just to make sure also I got the offset correct...

63 lines with the d8 method

63 X 16 = 1008 /4 = 252

252 - 1176 = -924 - +30 = -954 (write offset)

Is +1176 your drive reading offset? What's +30?

+30 is my drives read offset.. I was following the directions for the D8 method.
This time there is 2236 bytes before the sync/header, or 513 samples.
However, this time the sync/header is slightly different from our previous example (00FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF00018202...).
This difference in the header (18202 instead of 18200) indicates that the data is read from sector 2 instead of sector 0 (see post below for more info).

A full sector is 2352 bytes or 588 samples of data, so the difference is 2*588 samples.
Combined read+write offset = 513 - (2*588) = -617. Because the drive that we used is +30 read offset, the factory write offset is -647.
I guess I don't understand the math... how in the example does it become -617?

2 X 588 = 1176 right

so 513 - 1176 would = -663 right?  What am I missing?

I think Dremora is asking that because in both EAC and PerfectRip logs you posted above I see a +252 offset correction. Why that? Using your calcs the write offset is -954, and if combined offset is -924, you should use that to dump. +252 is completely wrong.


Moreover are you sure you have to subtract -1176 for this disc? The part of the guide you cited is only an example, you don't have to always subtract 2 sectors to get the offset. What number do you get after the sync? Is it really 018202? Or is it 18200? SegaCD discs shouldn't have big negative offsets.

Can you post here the D8 info?

Yes the combined offset is -924. That's the number to use (in PerfectRip it's +924)

EAC doesn't detect track02 pregap, so the resulting file has should have no pregap.

Try manually adding a 2.00 pregap to EAC's track02, and see if it matches PerfectRip's track02 in size and CRC.

I did add the pregap. it matches in size but not crc.. I can upload with the new offset 2nd track audio if someone wants to look at it.

Yes if you can Image

What about data track? Do PerfectRip's and IsoBuster's match?

Yes, they match.
