<p>Ghost: </p> <hr /> <div><div class="textblock" style="background: #febaba; padding: 10px;"><br /> <span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;">Please read the Redump.org [[Redump.org: Disclaimer|disclaimer]].<br /> </span><br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''This entire FAQ is still a work in progress'''<br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> '''What is Redump.org and what is your goal?'''<br /> <br /> :[http://redump.org/ Redump.org] is a disc preservation [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] and internet community dedicated to collecting precise and accurate information about every video game ever released on optical media of any system. The goal is to make '''blueprints''' of the data on console and PC game discs. Redump.org also provides guides to ensure the dumps are correctly done. Users of the website who follow the guides correctly are encouraged to share their results to help build the database. Multiple dumps of games with the same serial number by different people are collected to ensure the same results are gathered, which help correct any incorrect dumps in the database as well as to help recognize alternate versions of the same game.<br /> <br /> '''Why is it called Redump?'''<br /> <br /> :A "dump" is a slang term, used as a noun, to describe the resulting data obtained in the backup process. The term can also be used as a verb, as in: "I'm going to ''dump'' this game." Many groups in the past have attempted to preserve video game data with varying degrees of success. We believe that our methods of preservation are more accurate at preserving all the information contained on a disc than previous attempts made by other groups. The name "Redump" is a way of saying we need to dump again or ''redump'' games that have been dumped by others. The name "Redump" can also refer to the way in which our [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] is setup. A second dump or ''redump'' is required to confirm the accuracy of an unverified dump in the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database].<br /> <br /> '''Isn't dumping games illegal?'''<br /> <br /> :Redump.org does not provide copyrighted material nor do we condone software piracy. Please read the [http://redump.org/ Redump.org] [[Redump.org: Disclaimer|disclaimer]]. You will need to consult your country's laws to confirm whether or not backing up the data on your discs is legal. However, "sharing" copyrighted material is definitely a crime and will not be tolerated here. If you want a game; buy it. Video game developers deserve money for their hard work.<br /> <br /> '''What do you provide on this site?'''<br /> <br /> :Our [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] contains information ''about'' copyrighted data such as titles, version numbers and checksums, such as CRC32/MD5/SHA1, but not the actual data contained on the discs. We also provide links to tools and guides to assist you in dumping your discs as personal backups. We don't provide games so please don't ask where to download them. We encourage you to join our community and share information about the backups you create. The ''Contributing'' section below will provide you with more information on how to do this.<br /> <br /> '''What's the purpose of this information?'''<br /> <br /> :You can use this information in the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] so that you can compare a backup you've made to a backup someone else has made of the same disc, even with different PC configurations and drives. This comparison will verify that you've dumped your disc accurately and it's not faulty. The backup you've created can then be archived in case your disc is damaged in the future. We give you information you can use to preserve your games and any information you give us helps others to preserve their games as well. Giving back to [http://redump.org/ Redump.org] is covered in more detail in the ''Contributing'' section below.<br /> <br /> '''Why preserve game discs?'''<br /> <br /> :Nothing lasts forever. Optical media is especially susceptible to damage in the form of scratches, cracks, heat, sunlight, etc. Preserving these discs now will ensure that future generations aren't deprived of our video game history.<br /> <br /> '''What sets Redump.org apart from other projects that have similar goals?'''<br /> <br /> :Most other projects encourage you to backup your discs in such a way that data is lost. Our methods of preservation try to backup every bit of data contained on the disc. In this way your dump should be as close to a 1:1 copy as possible. More information about our methods is covered in the '''Technical''' section below.<br /> <br /> ==Technical Questions==<br /> <br /> '''What is optical media?'''<br /> <br /> :CDs, DVDs, GDs, NODs, UMDs, Blu-ray discs, etc. If it spins, is read by a laser and has digital game data on it; we want to preserve it.<br /> <br /> '''What is a pressed disc?'''<br /> <br /> :"Pressed" discs are stamped out in a plastics-molding stamper. The data patterns, represented as a series of pits and lands, is permanently molded into the plastic during the stamping process. Basically, its the same process that was used to make vinyl records (and CD's, for that matter), just ramped up a few orders of magnitude in precision. After the plastic has been stamped, it then gets coated (via vacuum deposition) with a few-atoms-thick layer of reflective metal, and another layer of plastic is bonded onto the top. During playback, the laser's reflection angle is subtly altered depending on whether there's a pit or a land in front of the beam, which causes the reflection to hit or miss the detector. These hits and misses become a binary data pattern.<br /> <br /> '''Why you split the tracks?'''<br /> <br /> :wip<br /> <br /> '''What is offset and why is it important?'''<br /> <br /> :wip<br /> <br /> '''Why dump at 2352 bytes per sector and not 2048 bytes?'''<br /> <br /> :wip<br /> <br /> '''Why dont you dump subchannels?'''<br /> <br /> :wip<br /> <br /> '''Is it true that some data on a disc can't be accurately copied?'''<br /> <br /> :As of this moment, yes, that is true for some types of optical media. The subchannel data of a compact disc is especially difficult to retrieve with perfect accuracy. Certain copy protections can prove difficult to backup as well, but we are working on these issues.<br /> <br /> ==Contributing Questions==<br /> <br /> '''I want to contribute, but where do I start?'''<br /> <br /> :Thank you for your enthusiasm and desire to help us preserve our video game heritage. Where you start depends on what you'd like to do. There are more ways to contribute than just what is written here, but the following should give you some ideas. You can post answers to questions in the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum] or [irc://irc.foreverchat.net/redump IRC channel]. You can add or modify information in the [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Main_Page wiki]. You can program useful tools to assist the community. You can dump optical media and submit the information about those dumps to our [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database]. However, contributing to the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] requires more reading and preparation. Please see the [[#Forum|Forum]] and '''Dumping Guide''' for how to contribute in this way.<br /> <br /> '''What discs are accepted?'''<br /> <br /> :Please ask yourself this question about the disc you want to dump: "Does this pressed optical media contain video game data or material related to a video game?" If the answer is yes, please dump the disc using our guides and submit the information about the dump to the database. If you are unsure of the answer, please continuing reading or consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> * All console and computer games.<br /> * All Demos, Betas, Unlicenced, Promos and Press discs.<br /> * Bonus discs in limited/collector's editions, such as Video DVDs, and Audio CDs (not hollywood movies).<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump discs containing a computer application?'''<br /> <br /> :Maybe. It depends on the usage of the application. Is the application used in such a way that it relates to a certain game or a type of video games? For example, a level editor application for the game "Doom" on a disc could be added to the database. However, a disc containing programming tools like "Visual C++" would not be acceptable for the database. While both the level editor and the programming tools can both be used to create or modify game data, the programming tools are not specifically designed for that purpose. If you are unsure of the difference or think a particular disc should be an exception, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump bootleg discs?'''<br /> <br /> :Maybe. It depends what you mean by "bootleg." The information added to the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] should be from pressed optical media and not a disc that was burned in a computer. If you are unsure of the difference or think a particular disc should be an exception, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump operating system discs?'''<br /> <br /> :No. We are not accepting information about operating system discs unless the disc is used in a console. For example: [http://redump.org/disc/15004/ http://redump.org/disc/15004/] and [http://redump.org/disc/12542/ http://redump.org/disc/12542/].<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump ___ discs?'''<br /> <br /> :If you can't find the answer here for a particular type of disc, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> ==Contact==<br /> <br /> '''Forum'''<br /> <br /> :The [http://forum.redump.org/ forum] is the heart of this community.

With certain drives it's possible to dump the high density area of a GD-ROM disc using the escape eject button. The low density area (the first 2 tracks which are always visible) can be dumped the normal way (without hotswapping) on any drive using the [[#Main_CD_dumping_guide|Main CD dumping guide]].<br /> <br /> '''Software needed'''<br /> <br /> *[http://vigi.dremora.com/dctools.rar dctools]<br /> *[http://www.mediafire.com/?2nygv2oyzzz audio trap disc]<br /> <br /> '''Instructions'''<br /> <br /> The high density area (sector 45000-549150) can be dumped as follows:<br /> <br /> - insert the audio trap disc (a disc with a hacked TOC of 99 mins audio, burn it with CloneCD or Alcohol).<br /> - use 'startstop.exe driveletter 1' to stop the drive motor.<br /> - use a pin to press the escape eject button, so the tray will eject (or remove the drive cover).. insert the gdrom and gently push the tray back (or put the drive cover back on).<br /> - Now extract sector 44990 (to be sure that the offset doesn't cut off any data) - 549150 using CDRWin 'Select Sectors' with the following settings: CD Audio (2352), File Format INTEL, Error Recovery Abort, Audio Speed 1x, Read Retry Count 1.<br /> - When it's done extracting, use 'ice.exe dumpfile.bin 45000' to descramble and split the dump data.. <br /> <br /> If everything went well, the dump is ready to be submitted.<br /> <br /> If you get any errors during extraction or if your drive fails to read the gdrom disc after swapping, then this most likely means that your drive isn't suitable for dumping gdrom discs. Read the next post to see if your drive which drives are supported/unsupported.<br /> <br /> ==Supported Drives (tested by)==<br /> <br /> *Samsung TSSTCorp SH-D162D (iR0b0t, Jackal, tossEAC, r09, Rocknroms, nrl_quaker)<br /> *Lite-On SOHD-167T (iR0b0t, Jackal)<br /> *Samsung TSSTCorp SH-D162C (tossEAC)<br /> *Lite-On LH-18A1H (themabus)<br /> <br /> Note: If it doesn't work after some retries, then first read ahead a bit (sector 60.000-x) and then (re)try normal range again. Or try to remove the cover. <br /> <br /> ==Unsupported Drives (tested by)==<br /> <br /> *LG CED-8120B (iR0b0t)<br /> *LG GDR-8164B (iR0b0t, Rocknroms)<br /> *LG GSA-H42L (iR0b0t)<br /> *Pioneer DVR-103 (iR0b0t)<br /> *Plextor PX-760A (iR0b0t, Rocknroms, Jackal)<br /> *Toshiba SD-M1502 (iR0b0t)<br /> *SONY CRX230E (nrl_quaker)<br /> *NEC ND-4550A (nrl_quaker)<br /> *TSSTcorp SH-S202J (nrl_quaker)<br /> *HL-DT-ST BD-RE GGW-H20L (Teancum)<br /> <br /> If you have any supported/unsupported drives, let us know and they will be added to the list!<br /> <br /> ==Forum==<br /> <br /> For any questions, suggestions or problems please visit the [http://forum.redump.org/topic/2620/dreamcast-gdrom-dumping-instructions/ Dreamcast GD-ROM dumping] topic in the forum.

<p>Ghost: hard to read :)</p> <hr /> <div><div class="textblock" style="background: #febaba; padding: 10px;"><br /> <span style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold;">Please read the Redump.org [[Redump.org: Disclaimer|disclaimer]].<br /> </span><br /> </div><br /> <br /> '''This entire FAQ is still a work in progress'''<br /> <br /> ==Overview==<br /> <br /> '''What is Redump.org and what is your goal?'''<br /> <br /> :[http://redump.org/ Redump.org] is a disc preservation [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] and internet community dedicated to collecting precise and accurate information about every video game ever released on optical media of any system. The goal is to make '''blueprints''' of the data on console and PC game discs. Redump.org also provides guides to ensure the dumps are correctly done. Users of the website who follow the guides correctly are encouraged to share their results to help build the database. Multiple dumps of games with the same serial number by different people are collected to ensure the same results are gathered, which help correct any incorrect dumps in the database as well as to help recognize alternate versions of the same game.<br /> <br /> '''Why is it called Redump?'''<br /> <br /> :A "dump" is a slang term, used as a noun, to describe the resulting data obtained in the backup process. The term can also be used as a verb, as in: "I'm going to ''dump'' this game." Many groups in the past have attempted to preserve video game data with varying degrees of success. We believe that our methods of preservation are more accurate at preserving all the information contained on a disc than previous attempts made by other groups. The name "Redump" is a way of saying we need to dump again or ''redump'' games that have been dumped by others. The name "Redump" can also refer to the way in which our [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] is setup. A second dump or ''redump'' is required to confirm the accuracy of an unverified dump in the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database].<br /> <br /> '''Isn't dumping games illegal?'''<br /> <br /> :Redump.org does not provide copyrighted material nor do we condone software piracy. Please read the [http://redump.org/ Redump.org] [[Redump.org: Disclaimer|disclaimer]]. You will need to consult your country's laws to confirm whether or not backing up the data on your discs is legal. However, "sharing" copyrighted material is definitely a crime and will not be tolerated here. If you want a game; buy it. Video game developers deserve money for their hard work.<br /> <br /> '''What do you provide on this site?'''<br /> <br /> :Our [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] contains information ''about'' copyrighted data such as titles, version numbers and checksums, such as CRC32/MD5/SHA1, but not the actual data contained on the discs. We also provide links to tools and guides to assist you in dumping your discs. We encourage you to join our community and share information about the backups you create. The [[#Contributing|Contributing]] section below will provide you with more information on how to do this.<br /> <br /> '''What's the purpose of this information?'''<br /> <br /> :You can use this information in the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] so that you can compare a backup you've made to a backup someone else has made of the same disc, even with different PC configurations and drives. This comparison will verify that you've dumped your disc accurately and it's not faulty. The backup you've created can then be archived in case your disc is damaged in the future. We give you information you can use to preserve your games and any information you give us helps others to preserve their games as well. Giving back to [http://redump.org/ Redump.org] is covered in more detail in the [[#Contributing|Contributing]] section below.<br /> <br /> '''Why preserve game discs?'''<br /> <br /> :Nothing lasts forever. Optical media is especially susceptible to damage in the form of scratches, cracks, heat, sunlight, etc. Preserving these discs now will ensure that future generations aren't deprived of our video game history.<br /> <br /> '''What sets Redump.org apart from other projects that have similar goals?'''<br /> <br /> :Most other projects encourage you to backup your discs in such a way that data is lost. Our methods of preservation try to backup every bit of data contained on the disc. In this way your dump should be as close to a 1:1 copy as possible. More information about our methods is covered in the [[#Dumping|Dumping]] section below.<br /> <br /> ==Technical Questions==<br /> <br /> '''What is optical media?'''<br /> <br /> :CDs, DVDs, GDs, NODs, UMDs, Blu-ray discs, etc. If it spins, is read by a laser and has digital game data on it; we want to preserve it.<br /> <br /> '''What is pressed optical media?'''<br /> <br /> '''Why you split the tracks?'''<br /> <br /> '''What is offset and why is it important?'''<br /> <br /> '''Why dump at 2352 bytes per sector and not 2048 bytes?'''<br /> <br /> '''Why dont you dump subchannels?'''<br /> <br /> '''Is it true that some data on a disc can't be accurately copied?'''<br /> <br /> :As of this moment, yes, that is true for some types of optical media. The subchannel data of a compact disc is especially difficult to retrieve with perfect accuracy. Certain copy protections can prove difficult to backup as well, but we are working on these issues.<br /> <br /> ==Contributing Questions==<br /> <br /> '''I want to contribute, but where do I start?'''<br /> <br /> :Thank you for your enthusiasm and desire to help us preserve our video game heritage. Where you start depends on what you'd like to do. There are more ways to contribute than just what is written here, but the following should give you some ideas. You can post answers to questions in the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum] or [irc://irc.foreverchat.net/redump IRC channel]. You can add or modify information in the [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Main_Page wiki]. You can program useful tools to assist the community. You can dump optical media and submit the information about those dumps to our [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database]. However, contributing to the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] requires more reading and preparation. Please see the [[#Forum|Forum]] and [[#Dumping|Dumping]] sections below for how to contribute in this way.<br /> <br /> ''''''Forum''''''<br /> <br /> '''What's the purpose of the Redump.org forum?'''<br /> <br /> :The [http://forum.redump.org/ forum] is the heart of this community. Browsing the various sections and reading some of the posts will give you an idea of how this site works. The most up to date news, discussions, guides and dumps can be found on the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].

If the answer is yes, please dump the disc using our guides and submit the information about the dump to the database. If you are unsure of the answer, please continuing reading or consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> * All console and computer games.<br /> * All Demos, Betas, Unlicenced, Promos and Press discs<br /> * Bonus discs in limited/collector's editions, such as Video-DVDs, and Audio CDs (not hollywood movies)<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump discs containing a computer application?'''<br /> <br /> :Maybe. It depends on the usage of the application. Is the application used in such a way that it relates to a certain game or a type of video games? For example, a level editor application for the game "Doom" on a disc could be added to the database. However, a disc containing programming tools like "Visual C++" would not be acceptable for the database. While both the level editor and the programming tools can both be used to create or modify game data, the programming tools are not specifically designed for that purpose. If you are unsure of the difference or think a particular disc should be an exception, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump bootleg discs?'''<br /> <br /> :Maybe. It depends what you mean by "bootleg." The information added to the [http://redump.org/discs/sort/added/dir/desc database] should be from pressed optical media and not a disc that was burned in a computer. If you are unsure of the difference or think a particular disc should be an exception, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump operating system discs?'''<br /> <br /> :No. We are not accepting information about operating system discs unless the disc is used in a console. For example: [http://redump.org/disc/15004/ http://redump.org/disc/15004/] and [http://redump.org/disc/12542/ http://redump.org/disc/12542/].<br /> <br /> '''Should I dump ______ discs?'''<br /> <br /> :If you can't find the answer here for a particular type of disc, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].<br /> <br /> ==Thanks==<br /> <br /> '''We are thankful to all people which helped building up the always growing database,which gave us feedback, spread the word around, added /fixed errors and where just in any way contributing to this ongoing project!

'''Work In Progress''' == Information & Features == '''SafeDisc''' uses corrupte..."</p> <hr /> <div>This guide will help you understand, identify and properly dump '''SafeDisc''' protected games.<br /> <br /> '''Work In Progress'''<br /> <br /> == Information & Features ==<br /> '''SafeDisc''' uses corrupted sectors in the begining of a disc, usually in range 500 - 10500 (average figure).<br /> <br /> == Detection ==<br /> For this you need [http://sourceforge.net/projects/burnout/ BurnOut] or [http://protectionid.owns.it/ ProtectionID].<br /> <br /> == Dumping ==<br /> '''Method 1: DDump'''<br /> <br /> You can use DDump for dumping SafeDisc CD's<br /> <br /> Usage : DDUMP.EXE [HA:TA:LUN] [OUTFILE] [OPTIONS]<br /> Example : DDUMP.EXE 1:0:0 DUMP<br /> <br /> It works in Command Prompt. Launch the tool to see a list of the drives that were found and their address<br /> <br /> You don't need to fill in any [OPTIONS]. It's important that the drive detects all the corrupted sectors properly. The sector numbers will end up in a .log file in the same folder. The next time you dump the disc with the same filename, the tool will detect the .log file and automatically skip all the sectors that are listed in the file.<br /> <br /> To be sure that the all corrupted sectors are dumped properly, it's important that a disc is at least dumped twice on different drives (and that the checksum matches on both drives).<br /> <br /> If your disc also has audio sectors, it's important that you cut off the SafeDisc image to the size of the data track, and dump the audio tracks the normal way (using EAC or PerfectRip).<br /> <br /> After dumping a proper SafeDisc image, you'll also have to include the following info:<br /> <br /> - Amount of SafeDisc sectors. You can check this by opening the image in CDmage and scanning for corruption. The SafeDisc sectors will be within the range of 807 - 10977 (if you get them outside of this range, let us know) and will have a Medium Severity.<br /> - SafeDisc version. Download Protection ID and open one of the game executables on the CD with it to get the SafeDisc version.<br /> <br /> Notes on DDump:<br /> <br /> The package that we linked already contains an ASPI driver. If you have any problems with this package, let us know.<br /> <br /> '''Method 2: CloneCD'''<br /> <br /> In Windows Vista / 7 DDump will not work so we are going to use CloneCD instead.Download the following [http://www.mediafire.com/?pxltd0a37mmrjrq CloneCD profiles] and use the one called ''redump.org_(pc_protected).''<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> *[http://redump.org/disc/16501/ Star Wars - Jedi Knight - Jedi Academy (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es) (Disc 1)]<br /> <br /> [[Category:Dumping Guides]]</div>

<p>Ghost: </p> <hr /> <div>This guide will help you understand, identify and properly dump '''SecuROM''' and '''StarForce''' protected games.<br /> <br /> '''Work In Progress'''<br /> <br /> == Information & Features ==<br /> '''SecuROM''' is a CD/DVD copy protection and digital rights management product developed by Sony DADC. SecuROM aims to resist home media duplication devices, professional duplicators, and attempts at reverse engineering software. It is most often used for commercial computer games running under the Microsoft Windows platform.<br /> <br /> '''StarForce''' is a software copy protection mechanism developed by Protection Technology.<br /> <br /> '''Physical Measurements:''' SecuROM and StarForce are called ''Physical Protections'' because they perform measurements, like calculating sector distances, in CDs and DVDs. Both install a rootkit upon installation of the game and can only be removed by using official uninstallers.<br /> <br /> '''Twin Sectors:''' In SecuROM discs The 4th sector from the end is a twin sector which means it exists twice in the CD. It is usually skiped (corrected by drive) by common software and cannot be burned as it breaks the standard. CDMage will detect the twin sector, as arrorenous, if the CD is dumped correctly.<br /> <br /> == Detection ==<br /> For this you need [http://sourceforge.net/projects/burnout/ BurnOut] or [http://protectionid.owns.it/ ProtectionID].<br /> <br /> == Dumping ==<br /> The data track of physical protection discs is dumped normally with Isobuster, follow the main CD dumping guide for details. If any errors appear in the process you must abort, clean the disc and try again.<br /> <br /> To properly save the measurements you will need to use Alcohol 52% or 120%. Dump the disc with Alcohol and select '''Data Position Measurement''', when asked choose '''High''' precision and '''Low''' speed. The .MDS file that will be created is important for your personal backup. Unfortunately the database does not support adding those files.<br /> <br /> For SecuROM discs you will need to double check. Open the .BIN file with CDmage and scan for errors. If no errors showed during dumping yet your image has 1 error, then it is correct.<br /> <br /> == Examples ==<br /> *[http://redump.org/disc/9600/ Unreal Tournament 2003 (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (Disc 1)] (SecuROM)<br /> *[http://redump.org/disc/10573/ Cold War - On Your Own Behind the Iron Curtain (USA) (Disc 1)] (StarForce)<br /> *[http://redump.org/disc/11864/ Still Life (USA) (Disc 2)] (StarForce)<br /> <br /> [[Category:Dumping Guides]]</div>

<p>Ghost: moved General DVD dumping guide to Main DVD dumping guide</p> <hr /> <div><div class="textblock" style="background: #febaba; padding: 10px;"><br /> <span style="font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold;">Please dump all tracks at least twice (if possible, using different drives) to be sure that they are correct!<br /> </span><br /> </div><br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> ==Introduction==<br /> This guide will explain how to preserve DVD-based games in the best possible way. It is a general purpose guide meant for all systems that use DVD media (consoles or computers) and for most DVD variants (data DVDs and DVD-Video). Also the discs must be unprotected and must not have any kind of abnormalities (eg. garbage data). Please refer to more specific guides on how to dump protected and non-standard DVDs.<br /> <br /> '''Software needed'''<br /> * [http://www.isobuster.com/ IsoBuster]<br /> * [http://www.slysoft.com/en/clonecd.html CloneCD]<br /> <br /> == Determining disc type ==<br /> <br /> '''1. Determining disc type'''<br /> <br /> * Insert the DVD in the drive and launch IsoBuster.<br /> * If the disc is larger than 4,700,000,000 bytes exit and use CloneCD instead.<br /> * If this is a PC DVD note the filesystems in case the disc is PC/MAC hybrid.<br /> * If the disc a either a PC DVD or DVD-Video scan for protections.<br /> <br /> '''2. Dumping Single Layer discs'''<br /> <br /> Insert the disc into the drive and launch IsoBuster. If you have multiple drives with discs inserted, make sure you have select the right one from the list. Right click on '''Track 01''', select '''Extract Track 01''' → '''Extract User Data (*.tao, *.iso, *.wav)''' menu item, then choose folder for extraction and press '''OK'''.<br /> <br /> The copying process may take several minutes. If you get "Unreadable sector" errors during it, press '''Retry''' button. If the error appears again, try to clean your disc from dust or scratches and try again. If the errors persist your disc is unsuitable for preservation.<br /> <br /> After the disc has been copied, launch HashCalc, check '''MD5''', '''SHA1''', '''CRC32''' and uncheck others. Select '''File''' option from the '''Data format''' list, then press button next to the '''Data''' field, select dumped image and press '''Calculate'''. The calculation process may take up to several minutes. These checksums should be posted along with other info.<br /> <br /> Dump your disc again and compare old dump checksums with the new ones. If checksums are the same, your disc has been dumped properly.<br /> <br /> '''3. Dumping Double Layer discs'''<br /> <br /> If the DVD is Double Layer dump it using CloneCD. When you select the DVD information will show in the right column about the disc. In the bottom it will show the '''Layerbreak''' sector. Note that number as it is needed. Continue dumping the disc and when finished you will end up with an .ISO and a .DVD file. The latter contains the Layerbreak sector and it is recomended to keep it. It is required in case you want to burn to a DL DVD. Always use DL DVD+R.<br /> <br /> It is safe to use CloneCD for Single Layer discs too. Please don't be confused with CloneDVD and never use it.<br /> <br /> '''4. Mandatory information'''<br /> <br /> * '''Game title''': most obvious, is located everywhere.

It is a general purpose guide meant for all systems that use DVD media (consoles or computers) and for most DVD variants (data DVDs and DVD-Video). Also the discs must be unprotected and must not have any kind of abnormalities (eg. garbage data). Please refer to more specific guides on how to dump protected and non-standard DVDs.<br /> <br /> '''Software needed'''<br /> * [http://www.isobuster.com/ IsoBuster]<br /> * [http://www.slysoft.com/en/clonecd.html CloneCD]<br /> <br /> == Determining disc type ==<br /> <br /> '''1. Determining disc type'''<br /> <br /> * Insert the DVD in the drive and launch IsoBuster.<br /> * If the disc is larger than 4,700,000,000 bytes exit and use CloneCD instead.<br /> * If this is a PC DVD note the filesystems in case the disc is PC/MAC hybrid.<br /> * If the disc a either a PC DVD or DVD-Video scan for protections.<br /> <br /> '''2. Dumping Single Layer discs'''<br /> <br /> Insert the disc into the drive and launch IsoBuster. If you have multiple drives with discs inserted, make sure you have select the right one from the list. Right click on '''Track 01''', select '''Extract Track 01''' → '''Extract User Data (*.tao, *.iso, *.wav)''' menu item, then choose folder for extraction and press '''OK'''.<br /> <br /> The copying process may take several minutes. If you get "Unreadable sector" errors during it, press '''Retry''' button. If the error appears again, try to clean your disc from dust or scratches and try again. If the errors persist your disc is unsuitable for preservation.<br /> <br /> After the disc has been copied, launch HashCalc, check '''MD5''', '''SHA1''', '''CRC32''' and uncheck others. Select '''File''' option from the '''Data format''' list, then press button next to the '''Data''' field, select dumped image and press '''Calculate'''. The calculation process may take up to several minutes. These checksums should be posted along with other info.<br /> <br /> Dump your disc again and compare old dump checksums with the new ones. If checksums are the same, your disc has been dumped properly.<br /> <br /> '''3. Dumping Double Layer discs'''<br /> <br /> If the DVD is Double Layer dump it using CloneCD. When you select the DVD information will show in the right column about the disc. In the bottom it will show the '''Layerbreak''' sector. Note that number as it is needed. Continue dumping the disc and when finished you will end up with an .ISO and a .DVD file. The latter contains the Layerbreak sector and it is recomended to keep it. It is required in case you want to burn to a DL DVD. Always use DL DVD+R.<br /> <br /> It is safe to use CloneCD for Single Layer discs too. Please don't be confused with CloneDVD and never use it.<br /> <br /> '''4. Mandatory information'''<br /> <br /> * '''Game title''': most obvious, is located everywhere. Please include subtitle.<br /> * '''Disc ID''': it is located on disc and commonly is in the form of "'''XXXX-YYYYY'''" (where X is a letter and Y is a number), also it may have some additional characters appended. Examples: SLUS-21359, SCES-51578#2.<br /> * '''Disc title''': some games stored on multiple discs may have discs with titles. Examples: [http://redump.org/disc/15041/ Armored Core: Nexus (Disc 1) (Evolution)] and [http://redump.org/disc/15042/ (Disc 2) (Revolution)].<br /> * '''EXE date''': EXE is usually named like disc ID in the form of "'''XXXX_YYY.YY'''" (where X is a letter and Y is a number). If you are not sure, check EXE name in the file '''SYSTEM.CNF'''. EXE date should be looked in IsoBuster in '''Modified''' column.<br /> * '''Game languages''': just start the game on the console and look for "Language" menu in options<br /> * '''Disc version''': Go to the root directory of the disc and open '''SYSTEM.CNF''' file in the text editor.

SecuROM aims to resist home media duplication devices, professional duplicators, and attempts at reverse engineering software. It is most often used for commercial computer games running under the Microsoft Windows platform.<br /> <br /> '''StarForce''' is a software copy protection mechanism developed by Protection Technology.<br /> <br /> == Features ==<br /> '''Measurements:''' SecuROM and StarForce are called ''Physical Protections'' because they perform measurements, like calculating sector distances, in CDs and DVDs. Both install a rootkit upon installation of the game and can only be removed by using official uninstallers.<br /> <br /> '''Twin Sectors:''' In SecuROM discs The 4th sector from the end is a twin sector which means it exists twice in the CD. It is usually skiped (corrected by drive) by common software and cannot be burned as it breaks the standard. CDMage will detect the twin sector, as arrorenous, if the CD is dumped correctly.<br /> <br /> == Detection ==<br /> For this you need [http://sourceforge.net/projects/burnout/ BurnOut] or [http://protectionid.owns.it/ ProtectionID].<br /> <br /> == Dumping ==<br /> The data track of physical protection discs is dumped normally with Isobuster, follow the main CD dumping guide for details. If any errors appear in the process you must abort, clean the disc and try again.<br /> <br /> To properly save the measurements you will need to use Alcohol 52% or 120%. Dump the disc with Alcohol and select '''Data Position Measurement''', when asked choose '''High''' precision and '''Low''' speed. The .MDS file that will be created is important for your personal backup. Unfortunately the database does not support adding those files.<br /> <br /> For SecuROM discs you will need to double check.
