* Download and install the latest version of [http://anonym.to/?http://www.isobuster.com/dl.php?d=isobuster.com&v=1&l=0 IsoBuster]. Launch the program, select '''Options -> File system settings''' menu item, in '''Display time stamp''' options group select '''Local time stamp''' option.
* Download and install the latest version of [http://anonym.to/?http://www.slavasoft.com/zip/hashcalc.zip HashCalc].

'''2. Determining disc type'''

* PlayStation 2 discs with '''blue''' working surface are '''CDs'''.
* PlayStation 2 discs with '''silver''' or '''slightly gold''' working surface are '''DVDs'''.

'''3. Dumping disc'''

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.

* '''Dumping CD''':
:If CD has more than one track, use [[Main CD dumping guide]]. Otherwise right click on '''Track 01''', select '''Extract Track 01''' -> '''Extract RAW Data (2352 bytes/block) (*.bin, *.iso)''' menu item, then choose folder for extraction and press '''OK'''.
* '''Dumping DVD''':
: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'''.

The copying process may take several minutes. If you get "Unreadable sector" errors during it, press '''Retry''' button. If the error appears again, your disc is unsuitable for preservation.

After the disc has been copied, launch HashCalc, check '''MD5''', '''SHA1''', '''CRC32''' and '''eDonkey/eMule''' rows, 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.

Dump your disc again and compare old dump checksums with the new ones. If checksums are the same, your disc has been dumped properly.

'''4. Gathering other info'''

* '''Game title''': most obvious, is located everywhere. Please include subtitle.
* '''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.
* '''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)].
* '''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.
* '''Game languages''': just start the game on the console and look for "Language" menu in options
* '''Disc version''': Go to the root directory of the disc and open '''SYSTEM.CNF''' file in the text editor. Disc version is located in the row which starts with "VER", for example, "VER = 1.00".
* '''Image size''': look for it in any file manager (but not in IsoBuster).
* '''Edition''': some games were rereleased in different packages, for example, '''Platinum'''/'''Greatest Hits'''/'''PlayStation 2 the Best''' series. If game was released in original package, post edition as "Original".

Methodis: /* Thanks */

'''Redump.org''' is a ''disc preservation database'' and it 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.

== Goal ==
The goal of redump.org is to make blueprints of the data on console and computer game discs. Checksums such as CRC32, MD5, SHA-1 are made of the data so individuals will be able to match their game dumps against other redump.org's dumps to ensure the integrity of their dump. Redump.org includes dumps from rare and more common console systems. For some current generation systems, they archive data, however are currently not making it available to the public since their focus is on preserving disc information of consoles that are no longer manufactured or will cease to be manufactured within the next few years.

== Disclaimer ==
Redump.org does NOT host or promote pirated games or any illegal activity.

== Thanks ==
'''We'd like to thank everyone that has added to the always growing database, provided feedback, spread the word around, fixed errors and in any way contributed to this ongoing project!'''

'''2. Determining disc type'''

* PlayStation 2 discs with '''blue''' working surface are '''CDs'''.
* PlayStation 2 discs with '''silver''' or '''slightly gold''' working surface are '''DVDs'''.

'''3. Dumping disc'''

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.

* '''Dumping CD''':
If CD has more that one track, use [[Compact Disc dumping guide]]. Otherwise right click on '''Track 01''', select '''Extract Track 01''' -> '''Extract RAW Data (2352 bytes/block) (*.bin, *.iso)''' menu item, then choose folder for extraction and press '''OK'''.
* '''Dumping DVD''':
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'''.

The copying process may take several minutes. If you get "Unreadable sector" errors during it, press '''Retry''' button. If the error appears again, your disc is unsuitable for preservation.

After the disc has been copied, launch HashCalc, check '''MD5''', '''SHA1''', '''CRC32''' and '''eDonkey/eMule''' rows, 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.

* '''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.
* '''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)].
* '''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.
* '''Game languages''': just start the game on the console and look for "Language" menu in options
* '''Disc version''': Go to the root directory of the disc and open '''SYSTEM.CNF''' file in the text editor. Disc version is located in the row which starts with "VER", for example, "VER = 1.00".
* '''Image size''': look for it in any file manager (but not in IsoBuster).
* '''Edition''': some games were rereleased in different packages, for example, '''Platinum'''/'''Greatest Hits'''/'''PlayStation 2 the Best''' series. If game was released in original package, post edition as "Original".
