== New Dump & Verification Submissions ==
-
Proper CD dumping requires optical disc drives to support a range of features. Certain models of Plextor brand drives in particular are most compatible and reliable.
+
Drives in this list were validated after extensive testing and they are accepted for New Dump submissions as well as Verification Submissions.

|-
-
To determine if your LG/ASUS drive is redump compatible, it is not sufficient to know the model name, you must also read the [http://web.archive.org/web/20211108135730/https://i.ebayimg.com/images/g/83QAAOSwIrBgrSQT/s-l1600.jpg sticker's manufacturing date] and the [https://web.archive.org/web/20211108135730/https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/429374270607720461/693522730414374932/IMG_20200328_190956.jpg PCB date code] to know what your drive is internally.

There are at least four "platforms" made by HLDS that use the MT1959 chipset: '''JB9''', '''JB8''', '''JB7''', '''JBC5'''. The drives based on the newer '''JB8''' platform are what redump recommends if you are looking to make a purchase.

✱ Older (approx 2015 and earlier) productions of these drives (PCB code '''JB7 2011.11.17''' or '''JBC5 2012.05.02''') are not cross-flashable to the [[Flashing Custom JB8 Firmware | recommended custom '''JB8''' firmware]] and may brick your drive if you attempt to flash it.
 
-
Other MT1959-based drives may be acceptable in the future given further testing, however they should be purchased only by those willing to invest their time and money in testing and on the understanding that they may eventually prove to be incompatible for use by Redump.

====Technical Details (Optional Reading)====
 
-
In theory, the MT1959-based drives can produce good dumps for mixed-mode CDs when there is a negative combined offset (disc write offset of less than -6, as MT1959 has a read offset of +6). DIC and Redumper are able to dump CDs with greater than -6 write offset by reading the drive's cache, however it is not always reliable and as such is not acceptable for new disc submissions in redump. The recommended custom '''JB8''' firmware avoids having to read from the cache to dump CDs with any write offset (as well as enables unlimited lead-out reading), therefore a '''JB8''' drive with the custom firmware should in theory produce good dumps for any mixed-mode CD. The only technical limitation for audio CDs is the inability to read the first 15 of the 150 sectors in the pregap. This is not a problematic limitation however as the majority of audio CDs do not have audio data that far into the pregap, and [[Redumper]] can alert the user for CDs where this occurs. Despite all this, all discs should always be dumped twice to ensure matching hashes, and Redump is not currently accepting new submissions for mixed-mode or audio CDs using '''JB8''' drives until further testing is done to obtain the same level of confidence as Plextor dumps.

A list of Optical disc drives compatible with the Compact Disc format (CD-ROM, CD-Audio, etc) which includes many retro console discs.

You must update the drives below to their Required Firmware version and dump using Redumper build 610 or later (supported by MPF 3.3.2 or later).

New Dump & Verification Submissions

Drives in this list were validated after extensive testing and they are accepted for New Dump submissions as well as Verification Submissions.
