| '''Note''': If you have issues or questions with flashing your drive, please ask on the [http://forum.redump.org/ redump forum] or [https://discord.gg/AHTfxQV VGPC discord]. It is much easier to help you before you flash your drive, than after flashing it incorrectly!
|}

On 2026-02-18, RibShark released the OmniDrive v1.0.0 firmware for MediaTek MT1959-based bluray drives manufactured by Hitachi-LG Data Storage (HLDS). v1.0.1 was released on 2026-02-22, allowing for faster CD dumping.

OmniDrive is highly recommended by redump, and the firmware directly replaces the [[Flashing Custom JB8 Firmware|custom JB8 firmware]] (3.10 Rib) previously recommended by redump.

Beyond enabling lead-out reading on CDs, OmniDrive also allows dumping many other game discs previously not readable by the stock firmware (GameCube, Wii, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Xbox Series X), raw DVD reading (2064-byte sectors), raw BD reading (2052-byte sectors), lead-in/lead-out reading for DVDs and BDs, and provides an option for FUA (force unit access) allowing for better refining of disc dumps. Support for these features is currently WIP for redumper and MPF.

==Compatible Drives==

OmniDrive currently has two firmware versions available, a modification of the ASUS BW-16D1HT 3.02 firmware, and a modification of the LG BU40N 1.00 firmware. The code is [https://github.com/RibShark/OmniDrive open source], and the modified firmware can be built yourself, provided you have the stock firmware.

In theory, any drive manufactured by HLDS using the MT1959 chipset may be compatible with OmniDrive. The two firmware modifications currently released allow for cross-flashing many drive models: half-height desktop drives to the ASUS 3.02 firwmare, and super slim drives to the BU40N 1.00 firmware. MakeMKV must report a MT1959 chipset (MT1959HWDN on chip label), MT1939 is not compatible (MT1959UWDN on chip label). However, we cannot guarantee this is true for all possible configurations, the drive models listed below are compatible to the best of our knowledge.

===Half-height Drives===
You can determine if your drive will be compatible by reading 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] on your drive. Drives with a manufacturing date of 2015 or earlier are likely to be incompatible (Older MT1959 chipsets, that MakeMKV report as MT1939). 
You must ensure that the PCB code says [https://imgur.com/qmrhNV7 JB8 2015.05.08] (it may be partially obscured by the drive case). Other PCB codes such as JB7 and JBC5 drives are not compatible with OmniDrive.

For older HLDS drives that are not MT1959-based, many models can still be flashed with firmware versions that enable scrambled reading and can still be dumped with Redumper (with caveats). 
For instructions on flashing older LG/ASUS drive models, see [[Flashing Older HLDS Drives]].

==Flashing Instructions==

<big>'''DO NOT FLASH THE INCORRECT FIRMWARE: USE ASUS 3.02 FOR DESKTOP DRIVES, USE BU40N 1.00 FOR SLIM DRIVES. YOU MAY BRICK YOUR DRIVE IF YOU FLASH THE WRONG ONE'''</big>

====Windows Flashing Instructions====

# Ensure that the latest version of [https://www.makemkv.com/download/ MakeMKV] is installed
# Download [https://www.mediafire.com/file/rak1mk0p0qlqa0t/SDFtool+Flasher+%28v1.3.5%29.zip/file SDFtool Flasher v1.3.5] (see [https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=22896 MakeMKV forum] for more info)
# Download [https://archive.org/download/OmniDrive_v1.0.2 OmniDrive v1.0.2] (ASUS for half-height desktop drives with JB8 platform, BU40N for slim drives. Do not flash the incorrect one, triple check your drive model!)
# Ensure your JB8 drive is connected to the PC and '''no disc is inserted'''
# Run SDFtool, select your drive, and select the downloaded firmware bin file. (Using v1.3.5 there is no need to toggle the "encrypted" option, it will detect automatically).
# Press "Start" (High DPI screens may have an issue with SDFtool, the button may say "STA" or similar).
# After it has written the firmware, you must power cycle the drive (disconnect USB adapter, or turn off PC for internal drives).
# Your drive should now be compatible with Redumper, as well as MakeMKV.

'''Notes''':
* Some drive enclosures/adapters may interfere with flashing the drive (e.g. the INIC-3619 chip in some BU40N drive enclosures). Connect the drive directly to your computer via SATA or use a different enclosure/adapter if you get an Internal error 0x8d000000 when flashing.
* After flashing OmniDrive firmware on your drive, it will appear to your computer as if it were an ASUS BW-16D1HT or HL-DT-ST BU40N. This is intentional and has no bad side effects when dumping or reading discs. 
If you are burning important discs with your drive, you may want to flash your stock firmware again (use the updating tool provided by the manufacturer).

====Linux Flashing Notes====

Use the MakeMKV command line sdftool (bundled with MakeMKV) to flash the [https://archive.org/download/OmniDrive_v1.0.2 OmniDrive v1.0.2] onto your drive. You will need to check whether your current firmware is encrypted or not (e.g. ASUS BW-16D1HT firmware 3.11 is encrypted).

If you are using Linux, it is assumed you are capable of reading manuals for the specific instructions and operating the commandline on your specific system.

The version of `sdftool` that is bundled with MakeMKV 1.17.7 is recommended for flashing on Linux as later versions have a bug that has remained unfixed. See [https://forum.makemkv.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=40977&p=194343&hilit=sdf.conf#p194343 this forum post] for more details.

==Overview==

'''What is Redump.org and what is your goal?'''

:[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 computer game discs. Redump.org also provides [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Dumping_Guides 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.

'''Why is it called Redump?'''

: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].

'''Isn't dumping games illegal?'''

: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.

'''What do you provide on this site?'''

: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.

'''What's the purpose of this information?'''

: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.

'''Why preserve game discs?'''

: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.

'''What sets Redump.org apart from other projects that have similar goals?'''

: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.

'''Why are "verifications" necessary and/or helpful to the project? Isn't one dump good enough?'''
:Verifications are vital in verifying that the information in the database is accurate, and that a dump is reproduceable by another person using the same tools and methods. An existing dump could be erroneous due to a variety of factors, including user error, hardware and software issues, and more. Furthermore, even when someone is doing everything correctly and has adequate software and hardware, there is a chance that their dump could be incorrect, due to the way data sectors on a disc are read and validated (especially Compact Discs). In most cases, the data will be read and verified successfully, but the process of reading data is not infallible, so there are times when a second dump of the same disc could provide differing information. Verifications help to identify and correct some of these issues.

'''Does Redump.org 'own' the content we contribute to the database?'''

:No, the metadata that is contributed to and stored on Redump.org, is considered publicly available information to be used however people see fit - whether you are a researcher, academic, organization, or simply an individual verifying the data for your own media.

==Technical Questions==

'''What is optical media?'''

: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.
Redump

'''Why do I need special hardware to dump [x] media for redump?'''

:Discs, particularly CD-ROMs, are somewhat complicated and have data on them that can't be read by just any drive or software, including data that is required for certain games to function properly (e.g. copy protected games). The drives we recommend are capable of reading more information than most standard drives, which helps us to preserve a more complete digital image of the media, for posterity. Additionally, the drives we've listed as compatible, have undergone significant testing by hundreds of contributors, over many years, with tens of thousands of discs, enabling us to provide reliable hashes and in many cases, verified hashes, which fulfills the main purpose of this project.

'''Why do I need special software to dump [x] media for Redump?'''

:The dumping programs that are we use are tailored to trying to get as much information out of a disc as possible. A lot of discs are even designed to make it harder to get an accurate copy. The primary dumping tools we support on desktop systems are '''Redumper''' and '''DiscImageCreator'''. Both have periodic official releases through their own GitHub repos as well as being included with the MPF frontend. Only official releases through one of these two sources are allowed for submission as we need some reasonable degree of confidence that the outputs are accurate. For systems that are not supported (e.g. some Linux distros or BSDs in general), please check with a staff member before submitting using a custom build or an official build that has been modified. We trust users to be reasonably transparent about this to avoid having to overly-scrutinize all submissions.

'''What is a pressed disc?'''

:"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.

'''Is it true that some data on a disc can't be accurately copied?'''

: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.

==Contributing Questions==

'''I want to contribute, but where do I start?'''

: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.redump.org/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 Guides]]''' for how to contribute in this way.

'''What discs are accepted?'''

:Pressed optical media discs that contain video game data or video game related materials or multimedia, are accepted into the Redump database:
* All console and computer-based video games.
* All video game Demos, Betas, Unlicensed, Promos and Press discs.
* Bonus discs in Limited/Collector's editions, and Bundled discs (discs bundled with video games, magazines, etc.):
**Standard movies are not accepted, but if the bundled movie is based on an IP that's predominantly video game based, it may be accepted. Non-movie content is generally acceptable but mod discretion will be used in any case deemed too out of scope for the project.
*Additionally, other optical media discs for certain video game or multimedia systems no longer in production (such as CD-i and FM Towns), are also accepted into the Redump database.
For the following systems we only accept video games and video game related content:
* IBM PC Compatible
* Mac Compatible
* Audio CDs
* DVD-Video
* BD-Video
* HD DVD-Video
* Video CDs (non CD-i)
* Universal Media Discs (UMDs)

:Burned recordable discs (CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, etc) are accepted as well when they contain prerelease content or if they were released in this form by their publisher. These still must be video game related in their content.

:If you have any questions about whether your disc is eligible, please post your question in the [http://forum.redump.org/topic/63134/disc-eligibility-questions/ forum].

'''What do you mean by "video game related?"'''

:This is difficult to define exactly. The core content of the item should be coverage of, material for, samples of video games, etc. Here are some good examples of directly video game related content:

* (PC) Press Kit discs for video games, demos, promotional materials on discs, etc.
* (DVD-Video) Promotional DVDs highlighting demos, trailers or gameplay for video games. DVD-Video Interactive games (dedicated games which can be played using only DVD-Video hardware).
* (Audio CD) Video game soundtracks, compilations, etc.

Please note: movies and tv shows based on video games, drawing inspiration from them, or with video game "themes" are not eligible for redump. This includes but is not limited to movies like Pixels, Mario and Zelda cartoons, etc.

If you have a question about whether your item is eligible, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].

'''Should I dump discs containing a computer application?'''

: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].

'''Should I dump bootleg discs?'''

: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].

'''Should I dump operating system discs?'''

:Generally, no. We are not accepting information about operating system discs unless the disc is used in a system no longer in production, such as as FMT, PC-98, or X68000. For example: [http://redump.org/disc/15004/ http://redump.org/disc/15004/] and [http://redump.org/disc/12542/ http://redump.org/disc/12542/]. See the above item about what discs are accepted for more detail. Operating system discs for IBM-PC / MAC, are specifically not accepted.

'''Should I dump ___ discs?'''

:If you can't find the answer here for a particular type of disc, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].

'''How do I know if my disc is already in the database?'''

:If you have already dumped your disc:

* The best way to find out if your disc is in the database, is to use the "Quick search" feature, which is in the upper-right portion of [http://redump.org/ redump.org]. Enter the MD5 or SHA-1 hash information in your search, and if the disc is in the database, it will populate that page.

:If you have not yet dumped your disc:

* You can check the [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Discs_not_yet_dumped missing lists] on our wiki to see if your disc is listed. However, since the missing lists aren't always 100% up-to-date, we recommend always searching for your disc using the "Quick search" feature on [http://redump.org/ redump.org]. You can search by Title, Foreign title, or Disc Serial to see if the disc is listed. Please note: even if you get a result, it is always worth dumping your specific disc to see if it matches any or is a revision / new disc.

'''Please note''' it is highly recommended to dump any new discs twice and verify that they have matching hashes.

* Insert your disc into the drive.
* In the MPF app folder, double click on '''MPF.exe''' to launch the app.
* MPF will scan your disc drive upon launch and attempt to classify the System/Media (correct if necessary). If it doesn't, click the "Scan" button.
* '''System/Media Type''': Should auto-fill, if not: Choose the system name for your disc, then the media type.
* '''Output Path''': This lists the path and filename for your dump. You can click Browse to change this, or rename the file directly in the text box.
* '''Drive Letter''': Should auto-fill, but if you have multiple disc drives then select the one you wish to dump with.
* '''Drive Speed''': Default value is fine. (Advanced: Select the drive speed you wish to dump with).
* '''Dumping Program''': Default value is fine.
* '''Parameters''': Default value is fine.
* '''Scan for protection''': Ignore this button (protection scanning will occur during dumping).

Disc Dumping Guide (DIC CLI)

2025-12-28T22:37:46Z

Darksabre76: /* First Time Setup / Tools */

'''Note: It is recommended to use the [[Disc Dumping Guide (MPF)]] instead. This guide is for the Command Line Interface version of DiscImageCreator.'''

The purpose of this [[Dumping-Guides|dumping guide]] is create perfect copies of CD-based discs using a Windows computer with DiscImageCreator app. For additional questions, support, and reference, use the forum thread [http://forum.redump.org/topic/10483/discimagecreator/ here]. Do not be shy if you need help!

Disc compatibility with this guide: Any CD based disc or DVD based disc.

== IMPORTANT: Compatible Disc Drive Requirement ==
Please note that submitting discs to Redump, whether these are new dumps or verifications, requires that a drive from the [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility|Compatible disc drive]] list is used. If you are uncertain about whether your drive is compatible or not, please check first - either post in the [http://forum.redump.org/forum/7/general-discussion/ forums] or, if you are a Discord user, join the [https://discord.gg/AHTfxQV Video Game Preservation Collective server] and ask there.

Submissions made using drives not on the list are likely to be discarded as ineligible.

==First Time Setup / Tools==
* '''DiscImageCreator''': [https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator/releases Download the latest version] (should be named similar to: "DiscImageCreator_20180127.zip", then unzip it. Wherever you put the unzipped folder will affect where your roms are written to when you dump the discs. Use of an official build is required regardless of platform.
* '''Install these Microsoft Packages''': [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=49981] [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685]
* '''edccchk.exe''': [http://redump.org/download/edccchk-1.26.rar Download]. Place this file into your unzipped DiscImageCreator subfolder "Release_ANSI" (doing this will help keep all dumping apps in the same folder so you don't have to '''cd''' out).
* '''psxt001z.exe''': [http://redump.org/download/psxt001z-0.21b1.7z Download]. Place this file into your unzipped DiscImageCreator subfolder "Release_ANSI" (doing this will help keep all dumping apps in the same folder so you don't have to '''cd''' out). This is used for PS1 discs only.

==Dumping==
===CD-ROM===
Now you have all the tools, are all setup and ready to begin dumping. Launch the native Windows app "Command Prompt" (Start menu > Windows System > Command Prompt).
* Open the DiscImageCreator folder you downloaded and unzipped (note: in the example "DiscImageCreator_20180127" is the name of the example folder / release version, please update according to the version you have), go into the "Release_ANSI" subfolder, and copy the directory location. For example "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"
* It's time to navigate to this directory inside of the Command Prompt app. Type in "cd" followed by your Release_ANSI directory location in quotes, for example:
'''cd "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"'''
* Now you will type the code in the Command Prompt to dump the disc. For example: '''DiscImageCreator.exe cd d MyGameTitle.bin 8 /c2 /nl''' This command should be changed for your specifics, "d" is the cd disc drive location, and "8" is the max read speed on the example disc drive model. 8 should be a read speed supported by most drives, but check [[Disc Drive Read Speeds|this list]] for your drive's maximum read speed to dump much faster. Change the title of "MyGameTitle.bin" to suit your needs.
* Note: Discs with CD-Audio tracks will create multiple .bin files.
* Run edccchk.exe with the following command '''edccchk "MyGameTitle.bin"'''. For discs with multiple tracks you will need to adjust the command to '''edccchk "MyGameTitle (Track 1).bin"''' or '''edccchk "MyGameTitle (Track 01).bin"'''. Copy the text output from the terminal into a txt file to be submitted with the logs. This command checks for EDC. Some discs with irregular exe's (such as GameShark discs) will require a [[PSX Date and EDC Check on Discs with Non-Standard EXE|different method]].
* For PS1 discs only, run psxt001z.exe with the following command '''psxt001z "MyGameTitle.bin"'''. For discs with multiple tracks you will need to adjust the command to '''psxt001z "MyGameTitle (Track 1).bin"''' or '''psxt001z "MyGameTitle (Track 01).bin"'''. Copy the text output from the terminal into a txt file to be submitted with the logs. This command checks for the EXE Date. Some discs with irregular exe's (such as GameShark discs) will require a [[PSX Date and EDC Check on Discs with Non-Standard EXE|different method]].
* For PS1 PAL discs only, run the following command to check for libcrypt copy protection '''psxt001z --libcrypt "MyGameTitle.sub" > libcrypt.txt''', then '''psxt001z --libcryptdrvfast d > libcryptdrv.log''' where d is the disc drive letter.
===DVD-ROM===
Now you have all the tools, are all setup and ready to begin dumping. Launch the native Windows app "Command Prompt" (Start menu > Windows System > Command Prompt).
* Open the DiscImageCreator folder you downloaded and unzipped (note: in the example "DiscImageCreator_20180127" is the name of the example folder / release version, please update according to the version you have), go into the "Release_ANSI" subfolder, and copy the directory location. For example "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"
* It's time to navigate to this directory inside of the Command Prompt app. Type in "cd" followed by your Release_ANSI directory location in quotes, for example:
'''cd "C:\Users\YOUR_COMPUTER_USERNAME\Downloads\DiscImageCreator_20180127\Release_ANSI"'''
* Now you will type the code in the Command Prompt to dump the disc. For example: '''DiscImageCreator.exe dvd d MyGameTitle_Dump1.iso 8''' This command should be changed for your specifics, "d" is the dvd disc drive location, and "8" is the max read speed on the example DVD drive model. You can Google your DVD drive model to find out it's max read speed, but 8 should be safe otherwise. Dump the game twice, "MyGameTitle_Dump1.iso" and "MyGameTitle_Dump2.iso", changing the title to suit your needs.

==Game Copy Protection==

Some (mostly PC computer) games use copyright protection that requires additional commands at the end. If you are unsure when to use these, [[Scanning for Copy Protection Guide|Scan for Copy Protection]] or consult this thread[http://forum.redump.org/topic/10483/discimagecreator/].
* /nl is for LibCrypt (some PSX PAL discs, just run on all PSX discs to keep it simple)
* /ns for SecuROM (some PC games)
* /sf for for PC copy protections that can be detected. This can also be used for reading unlicensed PS2 discs, but use with caution since it can cause excessive read times.
* /ss for other PC protections with c2 errors.
* Do not mix the modes, use the correct one for the disc you are dumping.
SecuROM data is in the subintention .txt (when /ns parameter is used and the disc is in fact SecuROM-protected) and should be included with submitted dump info when this protection is used.

==Collecting Information about your Disc==

It is recommended to use [https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/wiki/MPF-Check MPF.Check] to assist with generating submission info. Otherwise, create a separate file based on [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Submission_Template Submission Template] to fill in the following information:

* '''Game title''': Most obvious, is located everywhere. Please include subtitle.
* '''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)].
* '''Game languages''': Start the game and look for "Language" menu in options.
* '''Version''':
** For PlayStation 1 games, leave this blank.
** For PlayStation 2 (CD) games, find the file on your disc named "SYSTEM.CNF" and open in Notepad app, "VER" = version number.
** For PC games, the game version is either located in files like INI, CONFIG, README and or can (only) be obtained from in-game main menu.
* '''Edition''': Some games were re-released in different packages, for example, "Platinum", "Greatest Hits", "PlayStation 2 the Best" series. If game was released in original package, post edition as "Original".
* '''Media''': Should be "CD" for all dumps. Prototypes would likely be "CD-R".
* '''Barcode''': Submit the numbers from under the barcode: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Article_Number EAN] / [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code UPC] code, usually printed on the back cover of the packaging or disc case. If there are multiple barcodes present (e.g. on outer sleeve/inner jewel case) then add all of these and comma separate them. Please submit exactly as printed on the item. [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/599357686332784671/1146139502272843836/RedumpBarcodeExamples.jpg Examples]
* '''log files''': DiscImageCreator will generate .txt, .dat, .cue, .c2, .ccd, .sub files. psxt001z and edccchk output text copied from the terminal should be submitted as well. Attach these files to your post when submitting. Also generated, but should NOT be submitted to redump are .bin, .img, .scm files. The .bin files are your game. Files .scm and .img files are another copy of your game in deprecated formats - these can be deleted.
* '''Serial number''': Usually printed on disc itself.
* '''Ring code info''': stamped on the inner ring. Check both sides for any ringcodes (small stamps may require magnifying glass to see). For PlayStation discs with black dye, use [http://forum.redump.org/post/56100/#p56100 this] method to obtain any hidden ringcodes if possible.
* PC CD-ROM GAMES ONLY: It's possible when dumping a PC Game that DIC will out put a file ending in "_SubIntention.txt". Copy and paste the contents of this file into your submission. If it doesn't exist, then do nothing.
* '''Primary Volume Descriptor (PVD)''': Not all discs have this, most will though.
** Open IsoBuster app.
** File > Open Image File.
** In the left hand side of the app, right click on "Session 1" > Sector View.
** In the box at the top input "16".
** Scoll down and highlight lines 0320 - 0370 > click on the notepad-looking icon (when your mouse hovers over it, it says "Copy").
** Paste this info into your submission, it's the "PVD" info. Here's an example of how it should look:
0320 : 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 32 30 30 200

==Overview==

'''What is Redump.org and what is your goal?'''

:[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 computer game discs. Redump.org also provides [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Dumping_Guides 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.

'''Why is it called Redump?'''

: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].

'''Isn't dumping games illegal?'''

: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.

'''What do you provide on this site?'''

: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.

'''What's the purpose of this information?'''

: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.

'''Why preserve game discs?'''

: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.

'''What sets Redump.org apart from other projects that have similar goals?'''

: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.

'''Why are "verifications" necessary and/or helpful to the project? Isn't one dump good enough?'''
:Verifications are vital in verifying that the information in the database is accurate, and that a dump is reproduceable by another person using the same tools and methods. An existing dump could be erroneous due to a variety of factors, including user error, hardware and software issues, and more. Furthermore, even when someone is doing everything correctly and has adequate software and hardware, there is a chance that their dump could be incorrect, due to the way data sectors on a disc are read and validated (especially Compact Discs). In most cases, the data will be read and verified successfully, but the process of reading data is not infallible, so there are times when a second dump of the same disc could provide differing information. Verifications help to identify and correct some of these issues.

'''Does Redump.org 'own' the content we contribute to the database?'''

:No, the metadata that is contributed to and stored on Redump.org, is considered publicly available information to be used however people see fit - whether you are a researcher, academic, organization, or simply an individual verifying the data for your own media.

==Technical Questions==

'''What is optical media?'''

: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.
Redump

'''Why do I need special hardware to dump [x] media for redump?'''

:Discs, particularly CD-ROMs, are somewhat complicated and have data on them that can't be read by just any drive or software, including data that is required for certain games to function properly (e.g. copy protected games). The drives we recommend are capable of reading more information than most standard drives, which helps us to preserve a more complete digital image of the media, for posterity. Additionally, the drives we've listed as compatible, have undergone significant testing by hundreds of contributors, over many years, with tens of thousands of discs, enabling us to provide reliable hashes and in many cases, verified hashes, which fulfills the main purpose of this project.

'''Why do I need special software to dump [x] media for Redump?'''

:The dumping programs that are we use are tailored to trying to get as much information out of a disc as possible. A lot of discs are even designed to make it harder to get an accurate copy. The primary dumping tools we support on desktop systems are '''Redumper''' and '''DiscImageCreator'''. Both have periodic official releases through their own GitHub repos as well as being included with the MPF frontend. Only official releases through one of these two sources are allowed for submission as we need some reasonable degree of confidence that the outputs are accurate. For systems that are not supported (e.g. some Linux distros or BSDs in general), please check with a staff member before submitting using a custom build.

'''What is a pressed disc?'''

:"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.

'''Is it true that some data on a disc can't be accurately copied?'''

: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.

==Contributing Questions==

'''I want to contribute, but where do I start?'''

: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.redump.org/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 Guides]]''' for how to contribute in this way.

'''What discs are accepted?'''

:Pressed optical media discs that contain video game data or video game related materials or multimedia, are accepted into the Redump database:
* All console and computer-based video games.
* All video game Demos, Betas, Unlicensed, Promos and Press discs.
* Bonus discs in Limited/Collector's editions, and Bundled discs (discs bundled with video games, magazines, etc.):
**Standard movies are not accepted, but if the bundled movie is based on an IP that's predominantly video game based, it may be accepted. Non-movie content is generally acceptable but mod discretion will be used in any case deemed too out of scope for the project.
*Additionally, other optical media discs for certain video game or multimedia systems no longer in production (such as CD-i and FM Towns), are also accepted into the Redump database.
For the following systems we only accept video games and video game related content:
* IBM PC Compatible
* Mac Compatible
* Audio CDs
* DVD-Video
* BD-Video
* HD DVD-Video
* Video CDs (non CD-i)
* Universal Media Discs (UMDs)

:Burned recordable discs (CD-Rs, DVD-Rs, etc) are accepted as well when they contain prerelease content or if they were released in this form by their publisher. These still must be video game related in their content.

:If you have any questions about whether your disc is eligible, please post your question in the [http://forum.redump.org/topic/63134/disc-eligibility-questions/ forum].

'''What do you mean by "video game related?"'''

:This is difficult to define exactly. The core content of the item should be coverage of, material for, samples of video games, etc. Here are some good examples of directly video game related content:

* (PC) Press Kit discs for video games, demos, promotional materials on discs, etc.
* (DVD-Video) Promotional DVDs highlighting demos, trailers or gameplay for video games. DVD-Video Interactive games (dedicated games which can be played using only DVD-Video hardware).
* (Audio CD) Video game soundtracks, compilations, etc.

Please note: movies and tv shows based on video games, drawing inspiration from them, or with video game "themes" are not eligible for redump. This includes but is not limited to movies like Pixels, Mario and Zelda cartoons, etc.

If you have a question about whether your item is eligible, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].

'''Should I dump discs containing a computer application?'''

: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].

'''Should I dump bootleg discs?'''

: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].

'''Should I dump operating system discs?'''

:Generally, no. We are not accepting information about operating system discs unless the disc is used in a system no longer in production, such as as FMT, PC-98, or X68000. For example: [http://redump.org/disc/15004/ http://redump.org/disc/15004/] and [http://redump.org/disc/12542/ http://redump.org/disc/12542/]. See the above item about what discs are accepted for more detail. Operating system discs for IBM-PC / MAC, are specifically not accepted.

'''Should I dump ___ discs?'''

:If you can't find the answer here for a particular type of disc, please consult the [http://forum.redump.org/ forum].

'''How do I know if my disc is already in the database?'''

:If you have already dumped your disc:

* The best way to find out if your disc is in the database, is to use the "Quick search" feature, which is in the upper-right portion of [http://redump.org/ redump.org]. Enter the MD5 or SHA-1 hash information in your search, and if the disc is in the database, it will populate that page.

:If you have not yet dumped your disc:

* You can check the [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Discs_not_yet_dumped missing lists] on our wiki to see if your disc is listed. However, since the missing lists aren't always 100% up-to-date, we recommend always searching for your disc using the "Quick search" feature on [http://redump.org/ redump.org]. You can search by Title, Foreign title, or Disc Serial to see if the disc is listed. Please note: even if you get a result, it is always worth dumping your specific disc to see if it matches any or is a revision / new disc.

==Overview==

'''What is Redump.org and what is your goal?'''

:[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 computer game discs. Redump.org also provides [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Dumping_Guides 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.

'''Why is it called Redump?'''

* [https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases MPF.Check] - not required but can make filling submission info easier.

==Dumping==
===Using a Windows Computer===
Dumping discs with redumper can be extremely straightforward.
* Put your disc in a drive.
* Open the "Command Prompt" app.
* CD to the folder containing your redumper binary and execute <code>redumper</code>. The program will detect and dump the disc, running through all of the appropriate steps, and output all of the files to an autogenerated name.
* Next submit your dump to redump, see the "Submitting your Dump" section below.

===Using a macOS Computer===
First Time Setup:
*Open up Terminal and:
**Copy and paste "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine ", then drag and drop your redumper subfolder "bin", populating a command as such: "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/redumper/redumper-b658-macos-arm64/bin/"
**Repeat the same with your "lib" subfolder, populating a command as such: "xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/redumper/redumper-b658-macos-arm64/lib/"
Dumping:
*Double click the "redumper" file and your dump will populate into your Macintosh HD -> Users -> [your username]
Notes:
*If you get the following pop-up "The disk you attached was not readable by this computer." click "Ignore".

===Using a Linux Computer===
[to be written]

===Additional Parameters===

redumper has a number of additional parameters which can be of assistance to advanced users. A full list of these can be viewed by executing <code>redumper --help</code>. Here's a list of the more commonly-used parameters and their functionalities as follows:

* <code>--verbose</code> - enables verbose output, useful for checking for any errors or warnings during the dumping process
* <code>--drive=VALUE</code> - select which drive should be used for dumping
* <code>--speed=VALUE</code> - specify a drive read speed. Can be useful for dumping damaged discs
* <code>--retries=VALUE</code> - specify how many times redumper should try to reread a sector with an SCSI/C2 error. '''Please note''' that even successful retries are not a guarantee of a good dump - any disc with errors should be dumped twice and matching hashes obtained prior to submission
* <code>--image-path=VALUE</code> - specify a directory into which dump/log files should be output
* <code>--image-name=VALUE</code> - specify a name for the dump/log files
* <code>--correct-offset-shift</code> - For an offset shift in the disc, somewhat rarely occurs with Philips CD-i and Video CD discs. Discs dumped with this flag should be added as "Fixed" dumps.

===Irregular Disc Types===

Specific instructions for dumping irregular disc types.

'''PS2 Unlicensed Discs Requiring Trim''': Often needed when part of a disc label covers the data[https://ia800508.us.archive.org/30/items/psi2playstationinteractivemagazine-coverdiscscans/19%20-%202%20Disc%20Side%20A.png], or when a Mini-CD has a full-sized TOC.
# Determine the end-of-readability area on the disc by attempting a normal dump. For this disc linked above (and likely similar discs), the area of readability ended around sector 89900.
# Delete your error dump.
# Determine a nearby number that won't touch the sectors affected by readability. For example, if the readability ends around 89900, then use 89000.
# redump with the following command utilizing the number you determined, example: <code>redumper --lba-end=89000</code>
# Trim the output .scram with the following command: <code>redumper protection split --image-name=[scram file name WITHOUT the ".scram" extension] --iso9660-trim</code>
# Run <code>redumper hash info --image-name=[name of files without extension]</code>
# The output bin should be correct, presuming no unintentional c2 errors exist. You should only have the intentional c2 errors near the start of the disc.

==Collecting Information about your Disc==

Much of the required technical information such as Primary Volume Descriptor, write offset, etc. will be available in the .log file output by redumper during the dumping process. Some additional elements which are required are outlined below.
It is recommended to use [https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/wiki/MPF-Check MPF.Check] to assist with generating submission info. Otherwise, create a separate file based on [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Submission_Template Submission Template] to fill in the following information:

'''Title''': The main title of the game. If there are multiple variants of the game title given, the in-game title should take precedence. Additional titles (e.g. on the box, spine, etc.) can be added in comments using the <nowiki>[T:ALT]</nowiki> tag.

If titles in multiple languages are present, the English title should take precedence. Titles in other languages can be added to comments using the <nowiki>[T:ALTF]</nowiki> tag.

Titles in non-Latin alphabets should be romanised. For Cyrillic, this should be done using the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GOST_7.79-2000#GOST_7.79_System_B GOST 7.79-2000] system. For Japanese titles, a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_romanization modified Hepburn romanization] system is used, but there are some additional complexities.

'''Foreign Title (Non-latin)''': Titles in non-Latin alphabets can be provided as-is for this field

'''Disc Number / Letter''': If the disc is explicitly numbered or lettered (1, 2, A, B, etc.) then provide this information here. If a disc is labelled e.g. "Disc 1 of 2", it is only necessary to provide the number 1.

'''Disc Title''': If the disc is explicitly given a title such as "Install Disc" or "Bonus DVD" then include this information here.

'''System''': Please select the appropriate system from the list of [[System_list|System Names]]

'''Category''': Select as appropriate from the following list:
* Add-Ons
* Applications
* Audio
* Bonus Discs
* Coverdiscs
* Demos
* Educational
* Games
* Multimedia
* Preproduction
* Video

'''Region''': The region in which the disc was primarily available for sale. This could be an individual country (Japan) or a broader regional designation (Europe). Use of the "World" region should be avoided - this is only added in exceptional circumstances where multiple matching dumps from all major regions are known.

'''Languages''': These should be languages which are explicitly available in game. For PC, if multiple languages are offered during installation, it should be verified that the game is playable in each of these. If you are not sure, leave this field blank.

'''Disc Serial''': Any serial number which is printed ''on the disc itself''. Note that serial numbers printed on cases, sleeves, inlays etc. should not be included here.

'''Ringcode Information''': Follow the [[Ring Code Guide]]

'''Barcode''': Submit the numbers from under the barcode: [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Article_Number EAN] / [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_Product_Code UPC] code, usually printed on the back cover of the packaging or disc case. If there are multiple barcodes present (e.g. on outer sleeve/inner jewel case) then add all of these and comma separate them. Please submit exactly as printed on the item. [https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/599357686332784671/1146139502272843836/RedumpBarcodeExamples.jpg Examples]

'''Error Count''': This information can be found in the .img_EccEdc.txt file generated during the dumping process. If it reads "[NO ERROR] User data vs. ecc/edc match all" then enter 0 here, otherwise enter the number given after "Total errors:"

'''Comments''': Any other relevant information that doesn't belong in a specified field goes here. Please see the list of [[Special Site Codes]] for some of the types of information that can be added here.

'''Contents''': Completely optional, but if the disc contains any interesting contents other than the main game (demos, trailers, manuals, etc.) then this can be noted here.

'''Version''': Any obvious version information should be included here. For the following systems there are standard methods to find the version:
* Sony PlayStation 2 - use the VER tag in SYSTEM.CNF
* Sony PlayStation 3 - use the VERSION tag from PARAM.SFO
* Sony PlayStation 4 - use the VERSION tag from PARAM.SFO
For IBM PC, version information can be found in many places. For preference, any version information displayed in-game should be used - this can often be found on title screens, menus, or credit sequences. If this is not available, other sources such as readme files, .ini files or installers can be searched.

'''Edition/Release''': If a game is part of a particular named edition or special release (e.g. Limited Edition, Platinum Hits, etc.) then this information should be included here. For bonus discs bundled with a particular game (e.g. bonus DVDs or soundtrack CDs), the edition is always "<nowiki>[SYSTEM]</nowiki> Game Bundle"

'''Copy Protection''': [https://github.com/mnadareski/BurnOutSharp BurnOutSharp], although built as a Windows application, should be usable under compatibility layers such as WINE on other operating systems. Any copy protection information it detects should be included here.

=== Track 0/A hashes ===
On certain occasions, redumper will detect and dump additional data in the disc lead-in / lead-out and create Track 0/00 and/or Track A/AA files. Hashes for these should be included as part of your submission for pure Audio CDs - for other disc types, including Enhanced CDs, these can be excluded at present.

When submitting file hashes for your dump, please note that the redump database does not yet support these track numbers. You should manually extract these from the "dat:" section of the log and include them in the comments section instead.

=== Universal Hash ===
Universal Hash information will be generated for all discs. This should be included in your submission only for discs which consist entirely of audio tracks (primarily Audio CDs but there are some other examples such as GameShark updates which are mastered as audio).

GD-ROM Dumping Guide

2025-10-15T17:38:12Z

Darksabre76: /* Submitting your dump info */

'''GD-Rom''' (pressed) and '''GD-R''' (recordable) dumping guide.

GD discs were used by the Sega Dreamcast, Sega NAOMI, Sega NAOMI 2, Sega Chihiro, and Triforce arcade systems.

The discs contain two distinct areas, a Low Density Area ("LD Area") and a High Density Area ("HD Area"), physically separated by a ring. You'll need to dump both areas of the disc, which requires different drives and different methods.

Note: Some GD-ROMs may NOT dump with these methods, and require a TOSEC-style SD Card dump for the HD Area which then has to be "fixed" to meet redump spec. If the game is a single track in the HD Area, the TOSEC-style dump will be equal to a redump dump for HD Area, but the LD Area will still need dumping. See [[GD-ROM SD Card Dumping Guide]].

==LD Area (GD-ROM / GD-R)==
===Tools===
* An optical drive listed in [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: CD]]
* A Windows, Linux, or macOS computer
* [https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases MPF application] (includes Redumper)

===Dumping===
The LD Area is formatted like a standard CD-ROM, so should be dumped using the standard [[Disc Dumping Guide (MPF)]] with a CD-ROM compatible drive. The CD-ROM profile should be selected in MPF.

==HD Area: swapless method (GD-ROM)==
===Tools===
* An optical drive listed in [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: GD-ROM]]
* A Windows computer
* [https://archive.org/download/dcdumper-swapless-ice/DCDumper_ice.zip DCDumper & ice apps]

===Dumping===
* In command line, '''cd''' (change directory) to the "DCDumper_ice" folder.
* Run '''dcdumper [DriveLetter] -c446261 -df -ft -t0 -p20'''.
* It will take several "PASS"es to get all matches - this is fine. Sometimes there is no progress for 30mins, but if you need to stop and restart the dumping process, it will continue where it left off. Just make sure you don't delete progress if you have to stop it.
* When the HD Area dump completes, you need to convert it to its final form. Run '''ice.exe dense.bin 44990 > gamename.txt'''. This will produce a bunch of files starting with "Track 03" and going as high as however many tracks were on the HD section of the disc (as little as 1, as many as 98).

If dcdumper fails to run with an error complaining about MSVCP100.DLL being missing, install the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999 Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)] to fix this.

==HD Area: swap disc method==
===Tools===
* An optical drive listed in [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility: GD-ROM]]
* A Windows computer
* [https://archive.org/download/dcdumper-ice-startstop/DCDumper_ice_startstop.zip DCDumper, ice, startstop applications]
* [[Audio Trap Disc]]

===Dumping===
Dumping the HD Area can take over an hour sometimes, during which your drive may make scary noises. Stopping your drive to allow it to cool down before continuing the dump later can help with ease of dumping.
To dump the HD Area of the GD-ROM, a Swap Disc technique can be used.
There are two ways to do the Swap Disc technique:
* '''Prepare a Drive for Top Removal''' [https://youtu.be/RfCc7nsTUoo as seen in this video tutorial]. Afterwards, set the top back onto the drive with screws removed, which allows for easy top removal. Make sure your drive lid is replaced perfectly, as putting your drive lid on unevenly can lead to the dump failing partially into the dumping process.
* '''Pin Eject''': Push the tray back into the drive quickly so the spindle will catch.

====Method 1: DCDumper (preferred for GD-ROM dumping)====
A video tutorial for this dumping method can be seen [https://youtu.be/N3wPQOqHJr8 here].

This method is the more reliable method for dumping GD-ROMs because:
* The recommended TSST drives read GD-ROMs best. They do not support /c2 error correction, but...
* DCDumper dumps disc segments multiple times and compares hashes for QC, and does not rely on /c2 error correction.

Dumping:
* Insert the audio trap disc into the drive.
* In command line, '''cd''' (change directory) to the "DCDumper_ice_startstop" folder.
* Run '''startstop [DriveLetter] 1'''.
* Remove the top off the drive.
* Insert the GD-ROM and put the drive top back on.
* Run '''dcdumper [DriveLetter] -c446261 -df -ft -t0 -p20'''.
* It will take several "PASS"es to get all matches - this is fine. Sometimes there is no progress for 30mins, but if you need to stop and restart the dumping process, it will continue where it left off. Just make sure you don't delete progress if you have to stop it.
* When the HD Area dump completes, you need to convert it to its final form. Run '''ice.exe dense.bin 44990 > gamename.txt'''. This will produce a bunch of files starting with "Track 03" and going as high as however many tracks were on the HD section of the disc (as little as 1, as many as 98).

If dcdumper fails to run with an error complaining about MSVCP100.DLL being missing, install the [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=26999 Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable Package (x86)] to fix this.

====Method 2: DiscImageCreator (preferred for GD-R dumping)====
This method is more reliable for GD-Rs because:
* GD-Rs do not read on the TSST drives that work so well with GD-ROMs.
* c2 error re-reading is very useful. Since DiscImageCreator can use /c2 error correction, dumping with a compatible Plextor model is preferred.

Dumping:
* Insert the audio trap disc into the drive.
* In command line, '''cd''' (change directory) to the folder containing "DiscImageCreator.exe".
* Run '''DiscImageCreator.exe stop [DriveLetter]'''.
* Remove the top off the drive.
* Insert the GD disc and run: '''DiscImageCreator.exe close [DriveLetter]'''.
* Then run the dumping command: '''DiscImageCreator.exe gd [DriveLetter] foo.bin [DriveSpeed(0-72)] /c2''' (Note #1: " /c2" is only for use with compatible Plextors. Note #2: Adding the command "/be pack" may[http://forum.redump.org/post/105799/#p105799] be helpful when dumping GD-Rs.)
* Dump multiple times until you get an error-free dump (check the Command Prompt output after DiscImageCreator finishes dumping).

Note for GD-R dumping:
* 1x, 4x, 8x read speeds can be helpful or even necessary when dumping GD-Rs. Try starting with 8x, and if that speed doesn't work, try another.
* If you have issues where the drive locks up partway through, disabling cache flushes helps: '''DiscImageCreator.exe gd [DriveLetter] foo.bin 8 /c2 /f 600000'''.

Here are example submissions: [http://forum.redump.org/topic/45492/addeddc-nfl-2k1-usa/] [http://forum.redump.org/post/105798/#p105798]

We'll presume you've used Disc Image Creator for your dump in both LD and HD Areas.

Open your "!submissionInfo.txt" files from both your LD and HD Area dumps. Copy in the additional track information from your HD Area !submissionInfo.txt file into your LD Area !submissionInfo.txt file in three sections:
* "DAT"
* "Cuesheet". When combining Cuesheet data for LD and HD Areas, paste "REM SINGLE-DENSITY AREA" at the top of the cuesheet, and "REM HIGH-DENSITY AREA" in a new line after the LD Area cuesheet into, then finally the HD Area cuesheet text.
* "Write Offset". For determining write offset for HD Area of a DCDumper + ice.exe dump, open the .txt file output by Ice:
** Combined offset = Disc offset + Drive offset.
** Kreon drives used for DC dumping have a +6 offset.
** Calculation for Disc Offset: [Example Combined Offset of +30] - [(Any Kreon Model) Drive Offset of +6] = [Disc Offset of +24].
** Offsets for GD-ROMs are formatted in entries as follows: [LD Area disc offset]|[HD Area disc offset].

Fill in Ring Code data and any relevant Comments. Post on the Redump "New Dumps" subforum.

* Blu-Ray / BD-Rom including: PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X, and [[PlayStation 3 Dumping Guide|PlayStation 3 (partial, no decryption key extraction)]]. BD-Video dumping is supported, but see also [[BD-Video Key Extraction]]. For BD-R, dump using discimagecreator with the /avdp option.

For all other formats see [[Dumping Guides]].

If you have any questions about the process or need assistance, please reach out in the forum or in the [https://discord.gg/AHTfxQV VGPC Discord].

==Tools==
* Windows computer (MacOS and Linux users should follow the [[Dumping Guide (redumper CLI)|redumper CLI Guide]]).
* [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility|Compatible disc drive]] ('''Required''').
*Software:
** [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685 Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC] - Needed for DiscImageCreator only
** [https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases/latest MPF] '''(download the "MPF.UI..." zip file)'''
*** If you don't see the MPF.UI download, press the link that says "Show all XX assets" under the release, where '''XX''' will be a number like 22
*** If you have a Redump account, you can configure Tools → Options → Login Info.

==Dumping==

'''Please note''' it is highly recommended to dump any new discs twice and verify that they have matching hashes.

* Insert your disc into the drive.
* In the MPF app folder, double click on '''MPF.exe''' to launch the app.
* MPF will scan your disc drive upon launch and attempt to classify the System/Media (correct if necessary). If it doesn't, click the "Scan" button.
* '''System/Media Type''': Should auto-fill, if not: Choose the system name for your disc, then the media type.
* '''Output Path''': This lists the path and filename for your dump. You can click Browse to change this, or rename the file directly in the text box.
* '''Drive Letter''': Should auto-fill, but if you have multiple disc drives then select the one you wish to dump with.
* '''Drive Speed''': Default value is fine. (Advanced: Select the drive speed you wish to dump with).
* '''Dumping Program''': Default value is fine.
* '''Parameters''': Default value is fine.
* '''Scan for protection''': Ignore this button (protection scanning will occur during dumping).
* '''Start Dumping''': Click to start dumping. A separate window will pop-up displaying the progress of your dump. When the process is finished, the window will close and an 'Eject' dialog will appear informing you it is safe to eject the disc. Click "OK" and the Disc Information window appears, leading us to our next step, collecting information (below).

==Collecting Information about your Disc==
After your dump is complete, the next step is to fill in information about your disc in the 'Disc Information' window. There are many sections here, but not all of them are relevant for each disc. We'll cover below the required elements and most common ones.
For more specific / advanced issues related to specific systems, you can review the [[Moderation Guides by System]] (typically for experienced dumpers).
* '''Common Info''': This tab is for general information about your disc
** '''Title''': Enter the main title of the game or disc (ex: Final Fantasy VII)
** '''Foreign Title (Non-Latin)''': If it is a non-USA or non-English disc, include that title here (ex: ファイナルファンタジーⅦ)
** '''Disc Number / Letter''': If part of a multi-disc set, include the disc number here (ex: 1, 2, 3, A, B, C)
** '''Disc Title''': If part of a multi-disc set, include the identifying disc title here (ex: Install Disc, Play Disc)
** '''Category''': Select the category that represents your disc/content (ex: Games, Demos, Audio, Video, etc.)
** '''Region''': Select the region for your disc (ex: USA, Japan, Europe, etc.)
** '''Languages''': (Optional) Select the actual playable languages available for the disc. Leave this empty if you haven't actually tested the languages, in-game.
** '''Serial''': Enter the serial/identification code on the disc label, if any (ex: SLPS 00700, SCUS 97472)
** '''Barcode''': Enter the numbers under the barcode (EAN/UPC/etc.), usually on the back cover. If multiple barcodes, enter each one separated by a comma. Enter exactly as printed on the item (ex: 7 22674 10017 5)
** '''Version''': (Optional) Some systems will auto-populate this. For PC games, enter the version number if you have confirmed in-game or on the disc (ex: 1.00, v2.2.5, etc.)
** '''Edition''': Enter the main release / edition for the game. If it is the standard original retail release, this would typically be "Original." Some other examples are Demo, Greatest Hits, Platinum, PlayStation 2 the Best, etc.

* '''Additional Info''': This tab is for additional comments / ID numbers. Most are optional and/or don't apply to each disc. If your item has an ISBN or specific publisher ID (SEGA ID code, Konami ID, etc.) you can include it here.

* '''Contents''': This tab is also optional. You can list the contents if you've verified them in the disc's content. For example, a list of demos on a compilation disc. Or a list of song titles on an audio disc.

* '''Ringcodes''': This tab is for entering the ring code information, as presented physically on your disc. This information is usually on the data side of the disc near the center/hole. If you need assistance, please use the [[Ring Code Guide]]. Optionally: You can include ring code scans or pictures in your submission.

* '''Read-Only Info''': This tab displays information automatically detected by the program. You do not have to enter anything here.

Once you have entered all the information about your disc, click the 'Accept' button and everything will be saved to a file in your dump's folder called !submissionInfo.txt, which you can use to submit your disc to redump.org!

==Submitting Info to Redump.org database==
Copy and paste the contents of the filled out !Submissioninfo.txt file from your output onto the [http://forum.redump.org/forum/11/new-dumps/ New Dumps] forum or [http://forum.redump.org/forum/16/verifications/ Verifications] forum.

Zip and Upload all output files EXCEPT .bin, .iso, .scm, and/or .scram files and include them with your submission. Attachment to forum submission post or include a download link (Google Drive, Dropbox, mega.nz, etc).
(If using MPF, it should automatically zip the log files we need for you).

For "Dumper" status users submitting a New Disc through the [http://redump.org/newdisc/ New Disc form], link to the logs in the "Comments" section of your submission.

Disc Dumping Guide (MPF)

2025-07-25T01:14:05Z

Darksabre76: /* Tools */

'''This dumping guide is for:'''
* Any CD format, including (but not limited to): console games, PC games, audio CDs and video CDs. Some CD-Rs with errors need extra steps (see: [[Dumping CD-Rs with Errors in the End Sectors]]).
* DVD based formats including: PlayStation 2, Xbox original, Xbox 360, PC games on DVD-Rom, DVD-Video.
* Blu-Ray / BD-Rom including: PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series X, and [[PlayStation 3 Dumping Guide|PlayStation 3 (partial, no decryption key extraction)]]. BD-Video dumping is supported, but see also [[BD-Video Key Extraction]]. For BD-R, dump using discimagecreator with the /avdp option.

For all other formats see [[Dumping Guides]].

If you have any questions about the process or need assistance, please reach out in the forum or in the [https://discord.gg/AHTfxQV VGPC Discord].

==Tools==
* Windows computer (MacOS and Linux users should follow the [[Dumping Guide (redumper CLI)|redumper CLI Guide]]).
* [[Optical Disc Drive Compatibility|Compatible disc drive]] ('''Required''').
*Software:
** [https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=52685 Microsoft Visual C++ 2015 Redistributable Update 3 RC] - Needed for DiscImageCreator only
** [https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF/releases MPF] '''(download the "MPF.UI..." zip file)'''
***'''Note:''' If you have a Redump account, you can configure Tools → Options → Login Info.

==Dumping==

'''Please note''' it is highly recommended to dump any new discs twice and verify that they have matching hashes.

* Insert your disc into the drive.
* In the MPF app folder, double click on '''MPF.exe''' to launch the app.
* MPF will scan your disc drive upon launch and attempt to classify the System/Media (correct if necessary). If it doesn't, click the "Scan" button.
* '''System/Media Type''': Should auto-fill, if not: Choose the system name for your disc, then the media type.
* '''Output Path''': This lists the path and filename for your dump. You can click Browse to change this, or rename the file directly in the text box.
* '''Drive Letter''': Should auto-fill, but if you have multiple disc drives then select the one you wish to dump with.
* '''Drive Speed''': Default value is fine. (Advanced: Select the drive speed you wish to dump with).
* '''Dumping Program''': Default value is fine.
* '''Parameters''': Default value is fine.
* '''Scan for protection''': Ignore this button (protection scanning will occur during dumping).
* '''Start Dumping''': Click to start dumping. A separate window will pop-up displaying the progress of your dump. When the process is finished, the window will close and an 'Eject' dialog will appear informing you it is safe to eject the disc. Click "OK" and the Disc Information window appears, leading us to our next step, collecting information (below).

==Collecting Information about your Disc==
After your dump is complete, the next step is to fill in information about your disc in the 'Disc Information' window. There are many sections here, but not all of them are relevant for each disc. We'll cover below the required elements and most common ones.
For more specific / advanced issues related to specific systems, you can review the [[Moderation Guides by System]] (typically for experienced dumpers).
* '''Common Info''': This tab is for general information about your disc
** '''Title''': Enter the main title of the game or disc (ex: Final Fantasy VII)
** '''Foreign Title (Non-Latin)''': If it is a non-USA or non-English disc, include that title here (ex: ファイナルファンタジーⅦ)
** '''Disc Number / Letter''': If part of a multi-disc set, include the disc number here (ex: 1, 2, 3, A, B, C)
** '''Disc Title''': If part of a multi-disc set, include the identifying disc title here (ex: Install Disc, Play Disc)
** '''Category''': Select the category that represents your disc/content (ex: Games, Demos, Audio, Video, etc.)
** '''Region''': Select the region for your disc (ex: USA, Japan, Europe, etc.)
** '''Languages''': (Optional) Select the actual playable languages available for the disc. Leave this empty if you haven't actually tested the languages, in-game.
** '''Serial''': Enter the serial/identification code on the disc label, if any (ex: SLPS 00700, SCUS 97472)
** '''Barcode''': Enter the numbers under the barcode (EAN/UPC/etc.), usually on the back cover. If multiple barcodes, enter each one separated by a comma. Enter exactly as printed on the item (ex: 7 22674 10017 5)
** '''Version''': (Optional) Some systems will auto-populate this. For PC games, enter the version number if you have confirmed in-game or on the disc (ex: 1.00, v2.2.5, etc.)
** '''Edition''': Enter the main release / edition for the game. If it is the standard original retail release, this would typically be "Original." Some other examples are Demo, Greatest Hits, Platinum, PlayStation 2 the Best, etc.

* '''Additional Info''': This tab is for additional comments / ID numbers. Most are optional and/or don't apply to each disc. If your item has an ISBN or specific publisher ID (SEGA ID code, Konami ID, etc.) you can include it here.

* '''Contents''': This tab is also optional. You can list the contents if you've verified them in the disc's content. For example, a list of demos on a compilation disc. Or a list of song titles on an audio disc.

* '''Ringcodes''': This tab is for entering the ring code information, as presented physically on your disc. This information is usually on the data side of the disc near the center/hole. If you need assistance, please use the [[Ring Code Guide]]. Optionally: You can include ring code scans or pictures in your submission.

* '''Read-Only Info''': This tab displays information automatically detected by the program. You do not have to enter anything here.

Once you have entered all the information about your disc, click the 'Accept' button and everything will be saved to a file in your dump's folder called !submissionInfo.txt, which you can use to submit your disc to redump.org!

==Submitting Info to Redump.org database==
Copy and paste the contents of the filled out !Submissioninfo.txt file from your output onto the [http://forum.redump.org/forum/11/new-dumps/ New Dumps] forum or [http://forum.redump.org/forum/16/verifications/ Verifications] forum.

Zip and Upload all output files EXCEPT .bin, .iso, .scm, and/or .scram files and include them with your submission. Attachment to forum submission post or include a download link (Google Drive, Dropbox, mega.nz, etc).
(If using MPF, it should automatically zip the log files we need for you).

HD DVD-Video Moderation Guide

2025-06-19T16:17:49Z

Darksabre76: /* General Eligibility Criteria */

== General Notes ==

*Can have AACS protection up to AACS 4 (Maybe higher but unlikely)

*Hash PFI/DMI and put in comments (unknown if needed but just in case)

*Warner Bros discs have high defect rate, recommend dumping twice, reconstruction from multiple discs may be necessary.

=== Drives ===

Drives tested with matching dumps:

*Xbox 360 HD-DVD Drive
*LG GGC-H20L

Untested drives listed [http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=DiscImageCreator:_Optical_Disc_Drive_Compatibility#HD_DVD-ROM here]

== General Eligibility Criteria ==

Most HD-DVD-Video discs that are eligible for Redump include game-related video (promotional, game coverage, etc), and in most cases, the '''Category should be "Video"'''. However, there are some other cases:

* HD-DVD Movies with game demos are allowed. -> (Demos for PS3, PC, etc -- NOT Flash games) --- '''Category for these should be "Demos"'''

* HD-DVD Games are allowed, but games must be the primary content of the disc and be interactive. --- '''Category for these should be "Games"'''

* Interactive driving theory test / highway code etc. instructional videos are not eligible.

* Movies and TV shows based on video games, drawing inspiration from them, or with video game "themes" are '''not eligible''' for redump. This includes but is not limited to movies like Pixels, Mario and Zelda cartoons, etc.

== Languages ==

As a general rule, the consideration for whether a language should be added to the field relies on whether the user can access the main content of the disc in that language (i.e. watch a film the whole way through, play all levels of an interactive HD-DVD-Video).

In most cases, this will mean that all audio and subtitle languages available should be added to the field, however there may be some nuanced cases where a different approach is required - for example where certain subtitles/languages are only available for certain features or titles e.g. http://redump.org/disc/80741/

==Editions / Datfile versions==
Where a HD-DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a game, the edition and datfile version should always be set to "X Game Bundle".

If the disc is bundled with a release of the game for more than one system (see e.g. http://redump.org/disc/81769/), then the '''Edition''' field should represent each individual system (PS3 Game Bundle, PS4 Game Bundle), while the '''Datfile Version''' field should use the single term "Multisystem Game Bundle"

Please note that where a HD-DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a book or magazine, the edition may be set as "Book Bundle" / "Magazine Bundle", but the datfile version should be left blank.

Pre-Order Bonus discs, First-Print Bonus discs, and other similar types of discs/editions that are not always bundled, do not get a datfile modifier. Additionally, if multiple editions of a disc exist, but not ALL of them are bundles, there is no datfile modifier. For example, if a disc has an Original release and a PC Game Bundle release, there is no datfile modifier unless one is required due to a collision.

The following standardized terms are used:
* 3DO Game Bundle (3DO)
* 3DS Game Bundle (3DS)
* CD-i Game Bundle (CD-i)
* DC Game Bundle (Dreamcast)
* FMT Game Bundle (FM Towns)
* MCD Game Bundle (Mega CD / Sega CD)
* Multisystem Game Bundle (same disc verified as being bundled with the game for multiple systems)
* N64 Game Bundle (Nintendo 64)
* NDS Game Bundle (Nintendo DS)
* NSW Game Bundle (Nintendo Switch)
* PC Game Bundle (PC)
* PC-98 Game Bundle (PC-98)
* PS2 Game Bundle (PlayStation 2)
* PS3 Game Bundle (PlayStation 3)
* PS4 Game Bundle (PlayStation 4)
* PS5 Game Bundle (PlayStation 5)
* PSP Game Bundle (PlayStation Portable)
* PSV Game Bundle (PlayStation Vita)
* PSX Game Bundle (PlayStation)
* QIS Game Bundle (Bandai Playdia Quick Interactive System)
* SFC Game Bundle (Super Famicom / SNES)
* SMD Game Bundle (Genesis / Mega Drive)
* SS Game Bundle (Saturn)
* Wii Game Bundle (Wii)
* Wii U Game Bundle (Wii U)
* Xbox Game Bundle (Xbox)
* Xbox 360 Game Bundle (Xbox 360)
* Xbox One Game Bundle (Xbox One)

* Interactive driving theory test / highway code etc. instructional DVDs are not eligible.

* Nuon-enhanced DVDs are eligible and should be placed under DVD-Video with a note in comments clarifying that they are Nuon-enhanced

== Languages ==

As a general rule, the consideration for whether a language should be added to the field relies on whether the user can access the main content of the disc in that language (i.e. watch a film the whole way through, play all levels of an interactive DVD-Video).

== Note regarding DVD-Video hybrid discs ==

There are a number of cases where a disc is mastered as a DVD-Video but contains content for another eligible system. In this case, you should consider the "primary purpose" or intended platform for the disc. Is it

(a) Primarily intended to be played in any DVD-Video compatible device (including standalone DVD players), and as a bonus has some content which is compatible with another platform (e.g. PC/Mac)?

(b) Primarily intended to deliver content for a specific console or computer platform (e.g. contains mostly PC demos), and as a bonus has some content which is compatible with a standalone DVD player?

Case (a), classify as DVD-Video; Case (b) classify as e.g. IBM PC

==Editions / Datfile versions==
Where a DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a game, the edition and datfile version should always be set to "X Game Bundle".

*How to retrieve AACS keys: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=BD-Video_Key_Extraction

*AACS keys output includes a "DiscId" which can be put in the comments as a replacement for PVD/EXE-Date. DiscID: YYYY.MM.DD

== General Eligibility Criteria ==

Most BD-Video discs that are eligible for Redump include game-related video (promotional, game coverage, etc), and in most cases, the '''Category should be "Video"'''. However, there are some other cases:

If the disc is bundled with a release of the game for more than one system (see e.g. http://redump.org/disc/81769/), then the '''Edition''' field should represent each individual system (PS3 Game Bundle, PS4 Game Bundle), while the '''Datfile Version''' field should use the single term "Multisystem Game Bundle"

Please note that where a HD-DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a book or magazine, the edition may be set as "Book Bundle" / "Magazine Bundle", but the datfile version should be left blank.

Pre-Order Bonus discs, First-Print Bonus discs, and other similar types of discs/editions that are not always bundled, do not get a datfile modifier. Additionally, if multiple editions of a disc exist, but not ALL of them are bundles, there is no datfile modifier. For example, if a disc has an Original release and a PC Game Bundle release, there is no datfile modifier unless one is required due to a collision.

The following standardized terms are used:
* 3DO Game Bundle (3DO)
* 3DS Game Bundle (3DS)
* CD-i Game Bundle (CD-i)
* DC Game Bundle (Dreamcast)
* FMT Game Bundle (FM Towns)
* MCD Game Bundle (Mega CD / Sega CD)
* Multisystem Game Bundle (same disc verified as being bundled with the game for multiple systems)
* N64 Game Bundle (Nintendo 64)
* NDS Game Bundle (Nintendo DS)
* NSW Game Bundle (Nintendo Switch)
* PC Game Bundle (PC)
* PC-98 Game Bundle (PC-98)
* PS2 Game Bundle (PlayStation 2)
* PS3 Game Bundle (PlayStation 3)
* PS4 Game Bundle (PlayStation 4)
* PS5 Game Bundle (PlayStation 5)
* PSP Game Bundle (PlayStation Portable)
* PSV Game Bundle (PlayStation Vita)
* PSX Game Bundle (PlayStation)
* QIS Game Bundle (Bandai Playdia Quick Interactive System)
* SFC Game Bundle (Super Famicom / SNES)
* SMD Game Bundle (Genesis / Mega Drive)
* SS Game Bundle (Saturn)
* Wii Game Bundle (Wii)
* Wii U Game Bundle (Wii U)

DVD-Video Moderation Guide

2025-06-19T15:45:49Z

Darksabre76: /* General Eligibility Criteria */

WIP

== General Eligibility Criteria ==

Most DVD-Video discs that are eligible for redump include game-related video (promotional, game coverage, etc), and in most cases, the '''Category should be "Video"'''. However, there are some other cases:

* DVD Movies with game demos are allowed. -> (Demos for PC, Xbox, etc -- NOT Flash games) --- '''Category for these should be "Demos"'''

* DVD Games allowed, must be the primary content of the disc and be interactive. --- '''Category for these should be "Games"'''

* Interactive driving theory test / highway code etc. instructional DVDs are not eligible.

* Nuon-enhanced DVDs are eligible and should be placed under DVD-Video with a note in comments clarifying that they are Nuon-enhanced

== Languages ==

As a general rule, the consideration for whether a language should be added to the field relies on whether the user can access the main content of the disc in that language (i.e. watch a film the whole way through, play all levels of an interactive DVD-Video).

In most cases, this will mean that all audio and subtitle languages available should be added to the field, however there may be some nuanced cases where a different approach is required - for example where certain subtitles/languages are only available for certain features or titles e.g. http://redump.org/disc/80741/

== Note regarding DVD-Video hybrid discs ==

There are a number of cases where a disc is mastered as a DVD-Video but contains content for another eligible system. In this case, you should consider the "primary purpose" or intended platform for the disc. Is it

(a) Primarily intended to be played in any DVD-Video compatible device (including standalone DVD players), and as a bonus has some content which is compatible with another platform (e.g. PC/Mac)?

(b) Primarily intended to deliver content for a specific console or computer platform (e.g. contains mostly PC demos), and as a bonus has some content which is compatible with a standalone DVD player?

Case (a), classify as DVD-Video; Case (b) classify as e.g. IBM PC

==Editions / Datfile versions==
Where a DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a game, the edition and datfile version should always be set to "X Game Bundle".

If the disc is bundled with a release of the game for more than one system (see e.g. http://redump.org/disc/81769/), then the '''Edition''' field should represent each individual system (PS3 Game Bundle, PS4 Game Bundle), while the '''Datfile Version''' field should use the single term "Multisystem Game Bundle"

Please note that where a DVD-Video disc is bundled as a bonus disc with a book or magazine, the edition may be set as "Book Bundle" / "Magazine Bundle", but the datfile version should be left blank.

Pre-Order Bonus discs, First-Print Bonus discs, and other similar types of discs/editions that are not always bundled, do not get a datfile modifier. Additionally, if multiple editions of a disc exist, but not ALL of them are bundles, there is no datfile modifier. For example, if a disc has an Original release and a PC Game Bundle release, there is no datfile modifier unless one is required due to a collision.

The following standardised terms are used:
* 3DO Game Bundle (3DO)
* 3DS Game Bundle (3DS)
* CD-i Game Bundle (CD-i)
* DC Game Bundle (Dreamcast)
* FMT Game Bundle (FM Towns)
* MCD Game Bundle (Mega CD / Sega CD)
* Multisystem Game Bundle (same disc verified as being bundled with the game for multiple systems)
* N64 Game Bundle (Nintendo 64)

* NSW Game Bundle (Nintendo Switch)
* PC Game Bundle (PC)
* PC-98 Game Bundle (PC-98)
