I also get the Error reading drive : Data error (cyclic redundancy check) error when i try to do file - start dump.  However, I can extract the files individually.  I am using a dvd that is 8.3gigs (braveheart 1 disc).  thanks for the prog it gave me a reason to open up an old dvdrom.

Is this correct? In the DB both games have the same number...

Don't know if this will help.  Tried this on a laptop and it worked.

1: Loaded DVD
2: Stopped drive.
3: Closed lid of laptop (Put in suspend)
4: Opened drive with paper clip
5: Swapped disc
6: Turned on laptop
7: Since ripper was already open (Leave it open when you suspend) began find magic number.  
8: Let if find the offset, and dumped iso.

xbox1a Thats an awesome idea , thanks for the info

I wonder that that would work on a Desktop that supports suspend mode.

[xbox1a]

Tek,

Theoretically, it should work on any platform that supports suspend.  I use xp pro with autosuspend upon lid closing.  On the desktop (haven't tried yet).  I would suppose that you should open ripper, load dvd, stop drive, then by setting the desktop to suspend with power button, go into suspend and open the drive via emergency eject and swap....

Like I said, haven't tried it yet, but it "should" work.....

Ok that's a good idea, but we must understand why it works on a laptop :

a laptop use a small and flat dvd drive, with the lens and the motor include in the tray. A PC dvd drive (5'1/4) is different: when the tray is closed, the lens and the motor move up under the DVD.

So when you close you PC drive pushing the tray with the hand, the optical bloc (lens + motor) does not move up, and you can NOT read the DVD. With a laptop, the optical bloc is already in the good place, so you can read the DVD.

Very nice trick !

I guess I didn't think about it that way... However, the pc drive is still gear driven with the lens bloc moving up and down as the drive slides in or out. When you use the emergency eject, you are bypassing the electric solenoid that releases the drive lock.  As long as you fully seat the drive back in the locked/closed position, it should bring the lens bloc back into the read position.  Of course, this would totally depend on the particular drive that you are using.  Perhaps if someone has time they could test and confirm.  If it does work on a pc drive, you certainly would be saving the time of cracking open a drive.....

hi,

the software sounds great... but it is possible to use these backups on the xbox360?
i cant read anything about it.

sorry for question...

[TWiST]

erikk there is this amazing thing called google...


So I have tried this with my laptop using the final fantasy XI OXM disc that I got with the mag and it says unknown game disc. So I opened and old dvd rom drive I had and did the swap method and it told me cyclic redundecy check. So I opened this BTC 8x dvd burner I have here, its relativley new, and alas I am getting teh cyclic redundency check error. Any ideas any1 ?

I just realized this is my first post, long time reader as my join date suggests, but first time poster!!  

Just to clarify I am not pushing the eject button I actualley dismanteled my drives...

Also just noticed a new version of WxRipper YAY!!!!!!! What amazing timing!!!!!

Update: So I got the 1.2 version and its working fine now using my BTC drive gonna go back and check the other drive and the laptop just outof curiosity, and I must say Gael360 your hard work is much appreciated I know what a bitch it is to code with dotnet sometimes and your tool really rocks, keep up the good work bro!!

Update: ok im using 1.2 and its working alot better, im using the Final Fantasy XI game disc NTSC and im using king arthur DVD which wndows recognizes in explorer as 7.4 gb's which is the biggest I have here (might be my problem) I go to add game to the database just to see what happens, and it says cyclic redundency check, but it did find the magic number for the Final Fantasy XI, so I swapped discs again to try to get the magic number for DOA4 and I got the same cyclic error, im gonna try to rip Final Fantasy and see what happens next.

Update: Ok this is intresting, if I open the drive or not or close WxRipper or not and I try it from my DVD and then to the DOA4 without even inserting the Final Fantasy disc it keeps finding the same magic number for Final Fantasy as if its Cacheing the magic number from teh previous use even after I close the program open the drive etc etc. Gonna try to reboot and im sure that will clear it but maybe a bug in the new version, just wanted to let Gael360 know whats up.

"One time again, the magic number depends from the size of the hotswap DVD, and only from it !"
that was on xboxhacker.net..

I do have the same problem with the cyclic error.. not sure why?
