Dumping Datel unlicensed discs?

[toxic9]

I tried all the PC's I've got around here and no one runs Dolphin =/
I even tried on a very good ESXI server, and none of my VM's runs Dolphin.
I think the GPU's I have (phisical and virtual) doesn't meet the needs.
Here is a link to my Full size ISO. Do you have a PC to test where Dolphin tries to access the ISO?

Thanks for all your effort in helping!
It could be awesome if we can complete your CleanRip modded version to be able to dump all discs available.

Can you post the contents of the .skp file the modded cleanrip created for the disc?

Here they are!

<skipcrc crc100000="BAEE06DD" skipfill="00"/>
<skip start="01F00000" stop="4FFFFFFF"/>
<skip start="50100000" stop="570FFFFF"/>

According to the skip data it looks like it found additional data between 0x50000000 and 0x50100000 are you sure that data was all 0?

[toxic9]

Yes, the disc is filled with "A8" until the end.
When it was dumping the disc I remeber it had some difficult to pass over 85% or something... it stopped around that percentage and made lots of weird sounds... I did't touch anything, and after a while it continued to dump the rest of the disc. I don't think there is any data on that sectors. It should be a drive error or something that causes that gap on the skip data file.

[GreyRogue]

The 0x50000000 range is where most of my Datel discs have additional program data. Can you double check things? Private message sent.

[toxic9]

Oh my God! You're right! I'm so SORRY!!
I have so much dumps on my desktop and I also were confused! I sent you a wrong dump filled full size manually by me.
Actually I had not tried your CleanRip full size dump because I though it was similar to the others I have and I only compared the data between 0Mb and 31Mb!
I thought the rest was blank!

I checked the real full size dump and there was some data on that address! SO I run to burn the ISO... and it WORKED!
Thanks for the tips! Awesome!

I would like that you add the information about this disc to your datel.dat
Do you think it is interesting to make a "release"?

Great. Glad it worked. Is this the right name to use?
Datel SD Media Launcher (Europe)

Do you want me to add it, or do you want to submit a pull request to GitHub?

[toxic9]

That's the correct name of the disc.
This is the real "SD Media Launcher" disc, since the latest version, you open the DVD case and inside you find the Action Replay disc.

You can add it if you don't mind. I will be glad =)
If you add any nfo file or some adicional information, you can tell this is the "black&white" label disc, to not make confusion with AR pink disc inside SDML case.
Finally you can make a little reference to me =D
Ahaha!

Thank you so much. Your CleanRip mod is a great tool!

[GreyRogue]

Done. If you have any other Datel discs you'd like to add, just let me know.

Thanks =)

In fact I noticed on my tests that we just need to change a single value inside the code to get the American ISO. The game ID remains the same. But I don't have the American disc to confirm that.

Should I dump my Max Play Vol 1 using this method?

Should I dump my Max Play Vol 1 using this method?

I like being able to rip and verify all the discs I buy, so I'd like to see all the discs dumped (including the ones I've already done verified by others), but this is one is especially interesting to me. My AGP disc that has the 10 Max Play games on it, also had 9 other games hidden on the disc. I'd be curious to know if this one has them as well. I added a cheat to Nintendont that lets you play the hidden games, but if I knew more about how the individual game master codes work, I'd have made an Action Replay code for it.
Of course, I'll add it to the file if you post the info. Alternatively, feel free to take whatever you want from GitHub and merge into the official CleanRip if you'd rather do that. My changes are mostly just copy and paste from stuff you already did.

Yep, I'll merge them in to CleanRip with a few minor modifications soon.

Got a recent EUR Datel Action Replay disc:

Really hard even for the GameCube to be read... dumped with my Wii after 165 minutes... apploader version says 2.00; is this a "new entry" or a known dump ?

EDIT:
loaded in Dolphin with Audio LLE and Bios bypass disabled options and I get this screen:

but I cannot go anywhere from here (freeze ?); is this normal ?

[Sbeese]

Does anyone know if you can burn the latest EUR Datel SDML to a DVD-R and use that as the media launcher disc with an unmodded GameCube? I am currently using an SD Gecko in conjunction with the SD2SP2 no Xeon GC chip or anything. I know that you can only play backup disc through this method was just wondering if you had to have the mod installed for the SD media launcher backup.

[webhdx]

No you can't. You need modded console to run burned discs.

[Papy.G]

Can't SWISS just run burned discs?
You don't need a chip to run SWISS, so…

But getting good burns is another story.

[Sbeese]

I would still need some way to boot Swiss though.

The problem I’m having is that my Datel Action replay/SD media launcher disc is really unreliable and I have to keep cleaning it for it to work, which becomes very tedious. I saw on another forum that the datel discs are somewhat known to be bad quality and similar things have happened to others. So I just wanted to know if I could essentially just burn my own copies to keep myself from having to replace it every time it gets completely unreadable without having to mod the console. I’ve already had to buy two and the same problems keep occurring. I know it’s not the laser as my other discs work fine and read first try, no problems.

[Papy.G]

So you had better boot SWISS off an official Nintendo licenced game disk, they are far more reliable, and some are even much more cheap if you don't already have one (or don't have a spare memcard)!
As long as you can boot SWISS or any homebrew on your Cube, set up a couple Game Exploits and keep the SDML aside.
