-	Some Laserlock discs might not rely on traditional ring sectors ([http://redump.org/disc/128068/ example]) in favor of a bad sector scheme that most closely resembles [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=CodeLok_/_CopyLok Ringed CopyLok]. These should be dumped using normal dumping methods ~~using~~ a Kreon flashed TS-H353B/SH-D163B until more research is done.	+	Some Laserlock discs might not rely on traditional ring sectors ([http://redump.org/disc/128068/ example]) in favor of a bad sector scheme that most closely resembles [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=CodeLok_/_CopyLok Ringed CopyLok].

-	Rings exist in multiple configurations and can be found either at the start or end of disc depending on version. Sometimes they will also have single ring sectors in between the actual rings like in http://redump.org/disc/113120/.	+	Rings exist in multiple configurations and can be found either at the start or end of disc depending on version.

		+
		+	Notice how each ring starts on either a 4 or 9 and ends on either a 6 or 1. This is known as a Laserlock pattern and is believed to be an artefact of the mastering process for these discs. Finding it using our current dumping methods takes a lot of time though. And it is currently not something we ask of dumpers.
