DiscImageCreator (DIC) is an a disc dumping app focusing on perfect disc dumping only. Some formats require certain drive models to dump perfectly.

Contents

DVD-Rom

Any drive will work for dumping games with the DVD-Rom format.

CD-Rom / CD-Audio

CD format is particularly a pain in the ass, hardware support wise. Only certain models of Plextor brand drives can dump with DIC. Your drive should have the latest firmware installed.

  • USB Models:
    • PX-755UF
    • PX-716UF
    • PX-708UF
  • SATA Models. Note: These can be very hard to find or expensive, it's often easier to just buy an IDE model + IDE > USB adapter.
    • PX-760SA
    • PX-755SA
    • PX-716SA
    • PX-712SA
  • IDE Models. Note: IDE models can be used on a Laptop with a USB Adapter (search "UGREEN USB to IDE Converter, USB 3.0 to IDE" on Amazon - do NOT buy a cheap crappy Chinese adapter) or a Desktop tower with a cheap card.
    • PX-760 series: PX-760A
    • PX-755 series: PX-755A
    • PX-716 series: PX-716A, PX-716AL
    • PX-714 series:

GD-Rom

GDs are strange in that they contain two distinctly different areas of data. What this means to you is that you will have to dump the disc's LD and HD area separately. Unfortunately, this also means that you will need special hardware.

For dumping the LD area, the same rules apply as in dumping a CD, as they use the same technology. A list of compatible drives for dumping LD area is found below (and a more up-to-date list can be found in the CD Dumping Guide.)

Brand Model
Plextor PX-704
Plextor PX-708
Plextor PX-712
Plextor PX-714
Plextor PX-716
Plextor PX-755
Plextor PX-760
Plextor Premium
Plextor Premium2
Plextor PX-4012
Plextor PX-4824
Plextor PX-W5224
Plextor PX-W4220T
Plextor PX-32TS
Plextor PX-32CS
