note: I'm a bit twisted about the GDI structure yet. I've dumped the following game:
Street Fighter 3 3Rd Strike (J) [T1209M]
I'm using the serial Dumpcats Tools. I'm not sure about if the gdi file is correct, since it don't run in nullDC here. there are some shots from the console, where you can see a lot of reading errors, and in the bios the gdi is recognized as a gd rom with 99 tracks, as shown in the shots below:
1. trying load by "normal boot" option:
2. trying "Hle GDROM boot":
the tracks structure:
Code: Select all
session 1
1 DATA 0 450 0M
2 AUDIO 450 738 1M
session 2
3 DATA 45000 504150 1032M
Code: Select all
track01.iso
track01.raw
track01.iso
Code: Select all
3
1 0 4 2048 track01.iso 0
2 450 0 2352 track01.raw 0
3 45000 4 2048 track01.iso 0
i've tested track02 using the isobuster method and the EAC method, but in the last one I didn't find any option to extract audio i raw format, only .wav format, so I've renamed the generated.wav file to .raw. both tracks shows the same errrors in nulldc, so I presume that the error isn't here.darcagn wrote: You should use ISOBuster.
Right click "Track 1" and select "Extract Track 01" and choose "Extract User Data." Select where to download it to and then let it start extracting. It will complain that the last 150 sectors are unreadable at the end of the track. Select "Replace with all zeroes," check "Always apply Selection," and click the "Selection" button. When it asks if you want to delete the file if the number of unreadable sectors was 150, select no. If it was more than 150 then it probably has misread some of the disc and is a bad dump. Rename "Track 01.tao" to "track01.iso"
Right click "Track 2" and select "Extract Track 02" and choose "Extract RAW data." Select where to download it to and let it start extracting. When it is done, rename "Track 02.bin" to "track02.raw"
And there you go, you've ripped track01 and track02 with ISOBuster.
If you want to do something of good enough quality to release, you should use EAC for track02, but for general purposes, ISOBuster should be fine.
