Wrote a tool for GDEmu users,for converting redump gdi format to general gdi format

Would like to know their title names.

 

Hi SONIC3D
is the pre-built only have windows 64bit?could you provide a 32bit version?
and i'm in trouble of access mega.nz
thanks

 

Fixed! previously i had tried in Nov, 2017 and didnt realize the software had been updated. fixed both of them

 

Good, nice to hear that.
Yes, once there were 2 critical bugs may cause Pattern II type disc failed to convert, and causes buffer be improperly used. i have fixed them recently.

 

Sorry, the GUI version is based on Electron project which has dropped support for x86 32bit architecture. Only x64 and IA32 are supported.
So currently only the command line version would be suitable for you. You need to go to #1 and follow the source code link and read the "Usage" section in ReadMe to get it work. In the 1st step of the usage, download the 32bit Node.js LTS runtime to adopt your OS environment.

 

UPDATE(As the topic post can no longer be edited):

I have found a special case in Pattern III disc layout that data tracks are split into track 3 and track 4 but no audio track between them.
The game discs using this layout are Shenmue II (Japan) disc 2 to disc 4.Maybe it's used by more games butI have no full GDI set in hand to verify.

I have updated the docs of gdi-utils repository (in my #1 post of this topic) to add this layout case. But my I have no time currently to update my code to support it. So please just be aware that the conversion result to these game discs would be wrong. I will update my tool soon to support this layout case.


BTW:
The dump result of httpd-ack is not proper in this case for the track 3. Similiar to the over dumped fact of the last audio track data in usual Pattern III disc layout, httpd-ack will add 225 sectors to the end of track 3 in this case. That's 75 sectors PreGap and 150 sectors of Pause data of track 4.

But these over dumped data would not affect GDEmu working at all. So don't worry if you are using TOSEC/TruRip images of these discs.

 

is this tool change audio tracks offsets from 0 in Redump images to Dreamcast native +684 like in Dumpcast/TOSEC dumps ?

 

Nope.
This tool is intended for converting redump image to ODE usable format. Not suitable for direct produce TOSEC dumps data. TOSEC/Trurip image should be dumped using dreamcast console.
Fix audio track offset may be added in future. But that may involve tail data addition operation on the last audio track. So the last audio track may still not same as the one dumped directly from optical drive on dreamcast console. Still not suitable to be used as a way for generating GD-ROM image for submitting to TOSEC/Trurip database.
