Optical Disc Drive Compatibility for GD-ROM and GD-R Dumping

From Redump Wiki

Jump to: navigation, search

An experimental, work-in-progress list of drive compatibility for GD-ROM and GD-R HD-Area dumping with an Audio Trap Disc.

Notes:

  • For an official list of Redump recommended GD-ROM and GD-R dumping drives, go here.
  • Largely based on [1]
  • C2 Audio support noted since DiscImageCreator and redumper dump both audio and data tracks as audio (to get the scrambled results).
  • For Audio Trap Discs: CD-Rs may work better for GD-R dumping, and CD-RWs for GD-ROM dumping.
