[redump.org] PSX (Japan) 2010 Winter update

0. ABOUT redump.org is a disc preservation 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 PC game discs. Redump.org also provides 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. They currently have more than 16500 (~5100 PSX) disc entries present in their database. http://redump.org/ By submitting information about missing discs to the redump.org database, you would be helping to achieve this greater common goal. If you have original black CDs not listed in the PSX database or even listed ones, please go that extra mile and learn about their dumping methods. Their guides on how to dump discs properly can be found here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Dumping-Guides If you need more help, you can also visit redump.org's forum: http://forum.redump.org/ redump.org does not provide copyrighted material nor do they condone software piracy.

UNCOMPRESS The discs have been packed using PakkISO which works just like torrentzip. Simply put, PakkISO is the torrentzip of disc based games. It will create exact archives of matching files. It runs the data tracks through ECM, and then compresses with 7z. Audio tracks are compressed using the Monkey Audio lossless format (APE). This results in a much higher compression ratio compared to torrentzip. You can choose from several programs to use for decompression. They all are included in this torrent within 'important.zip'. 1.1. PakkISO shell integration *RECOMMENDED* (PakkISO-0.4-setup.exe).[1] To unpack a single game, right-click the game's folder and select 'UnpakkISO'. To unpack a group of games, right-click the folder containing ALL game's folders to be processed, and select 'UnpakkISO (Batch)'. The process will be automated. To pack a single game, right-click the game's folder and select 'PakkISO'. To pack a group of games, right-click the folder containing ALL game's folders to be processed, and select 'PakkISO (Batch)'. The process will be automated. 1.2. PakkISO (PakkISO-0.4-non-install.zip).[1] To unpack a game, simply drag and drop the game's folder into unpakkIso.exe. To pack a game, simply drag and drop the game's folder into pakkIso.exe. 1.3. redumpExtractor (redumpExtractor_exe.zip or redumpExtractor.zip).[2] Simple and intuitive GUI program. More information: http://thejbnet.com/progs/re/ After successful decompression you should have one cue sheet file and one or several binary files. [1] Archives will be deleted after decompression; raw files after compression, i.e. content is transformed from compressed to decompressed state or vice versa. So it is preferable to make a copy of directory you want to work with and use that copy instead of source. [2] External programs needed for this application are available in 'PakkISO-0.4-non-install.zip'. 2. PLAY To play on real hardware (console), first you need to burn the image(s) to a disc. Using your favorite disc recording software and good quality blank media: load the '.cue' file and burn.[1] Make sure your console is capable of playing backups. The best way to play the games included in this collection on emulators is by mounting them on a virtual drive (Daemon Tools/Alcohol). Once you have the disc mounted, just open the emulator and 'Open>CD-ROM via SPTI...' (Xebra) or 'Insert CD drive' (pSX). http://www.daemon-tools.cc/eng/products/dtLite http://drhell.web.fc2.com/ps1/index.html http://psxemulator.gazaxian.com/ [1] Please do not use Alcohol for recording, it is known to have problems with cue sheet parsing and therefore will produce incorrect copies (virtual drive function works fine though). Prefered programs are: ImgBurn *RECOMMENDED*, BlindWrite, CDRWIN. http://www.imgburn.com/ 3. AUDIT Included with torrent within 'important.zip' are several '.dat' files to verify downloaded files, update from previous torrent or audit your collection. Use them with 'RomCenter', 'clrmamepro' or other similar ROM managers. http://www.romcenter.com/ http://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/
