Some PSX discs such as LightSpan and GameShark have irregular executables on the disc that require an alternate way to determine Exe Date and EDC status.

Exe Date

  1. open isobuster
  2. make sure file system->time stamps settings are both set to local time stamp
  3. click on iso icon under track 01
  4. right click on system.cnf and view sectors
  5. note filename after boot=cdrom
  6. close sector view
  7. find that filename in right side window
  8. note date of this file (note that redump requires date in yyyy-mm-dd format)

EDC Yes/No

  1. highlight track 01 on left side of screen
  2. right click and view sectors
  3. in sector box next to red arrows type in 12 and check raw box
  4. if last 4 bytes are zero then no EDC. if last 4 bytes are 0x3F13B0BE then EDC.
  5. repeat for sectors 13,14, and 15
