 This dumping guide is for: This dumping guide is for:
  
-  * Any CD format, including (but not limited to): console games, Audio CD, and PC games (supports dumping games with the following copy protection: SecuRom 3, CDS100, CDS200, Label Gate, XCP). +  * Any CD format, including (but not limited to): most console games, PC games, Audio CDs and Video CDs. If when dumping an Audio CD with Aaru you get a message that says the lead-out could not be crossed, then the disc needs to be tried on another drive or retried again later when 6.0 is released. Version 6.0 of Aaru is currently very unstable and SHOULD NOT be used unless you know exactly what you are doing.  
-  * DVD based formats including: PlayStation 2 (see also: PlayStation 2 Betas with Read Issues), Xbox original, Xbox 360, PC games on DVD-Rom, DVD-Video. Incompatible discs include DVD-Audio. +  * DVD based formats including: PlayStation 2, PC games on DVD-ROM, and DVD-Video. Incompatible discs include DVD-Audio. DiscImageCreator also covers [[discs:microsoft|Xbox original, and Xbox 360]]. 
-  * Blu-Ray / BD-Rom: PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PlayStation 3 (partial, no decryption key extraction). BD-Video dumping is supported, but see also BD-Video Key Extraction.  +  * Blu-Ray / BD-Rom: [[discs:sony|PlayStation 3 (partial, no decryption key extraction)]]. Redumper also supports discs for later [[discs:sony|PlayStation]] consoles.

 ===== Recommendations ===== ===== Recommendations =====
  
-Our recommended tool for dumping discs is [[https://aaru.app|Aaru]]. With Aaru you get a deduped and compressed image which is built for preservation purposes, and can be converted to many other formats for different uses cases.+Hit Save's recommendation for dumping discs is [[https://github.com/aaru-dps/aaru/|Aaru]], while Redump.org's recommendation is [[https://github.com/superg/redumper|redumper]] (preferred) or [[https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator|DiscImageCreator]] (secondary). Redump usually doesn't accept dumps made with tools other than redumper or DiscImageCreator. Please also note that Redump.org does not accept Audio CDs dumped with DiscImageCreator.  Only the redumper tool is accepted for that.
  
-However, if you are dumping a disc to submit to redump.org they currently only support DiscImageCreator dumps. We recommend using [[https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF|MPF]] as the frontend for that.+Hit Save and Redump.org recommend using [[https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF|Media Preservation Frontend (MPF)]], which is a front-end tool prepackaged with Aaru, redumper, and DiscImageCreator.
  
 ===== Methods ===== ===== Methods =====
  
-  - Aaru - command line +  - [[discs:general#mpf_with_aaru|MPF with Aaru]] 
-  - MPF (formerly DICUI) - graphical UI for Aaru and DiscImageCreator+  - [[discs:general#mpf_with_redumper|MPF with redumper]] 
 +  - [[discs:general#aaru_-_command_line|Aaru - command line]]
  
-==== Method 1 ====+==== MPF with Aaru ==== 
 + 
 +  * Download and install [[https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF|Media Preservation Frontend (MPF)]]. 
 +  * Go to Tools->Options 
 +  * Set Aaru as your "Dumping Program" 
 +  {{:discs:pasted:20210816-231111.png}} 
 +  * Click "Scan for disks" to refresh the UI with details about the disc you're about to dump 
 +  * You are now ready to dump with Aaru. Click "Start Dumping" 
 +  {{:discs:pasted:20210816-234820.png}} 
 + 
 + 
 +==== MPF with redumper ==== 
 + 
 +Same process as Aaru, but you don't need to change the dumping program from the default. Please see the [[http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Disc_Dumping_Guide_(MPF)|Redump.org general disc dumping guide]]. 
 + 
 +==== Aaru - command line ====
  
 Download and install/unzip [[https://aaru.app|Aaru]] for your supported system here: [[https://github.com/aaru-dps/Aaru/releases]]. Download and install/unzip [[https://aaru.app|Aaru]] for your supported system here: [[https://github.com/aaru-dps/Aaru/releases]].
  
-For now, **use version 5.2 until 5.3 LTS** comes out. **__Do not use any 6.0 pre-releases!__**+For now, **use version 5.3 LTS**. **__Do not use any 6.0 pre-releases!__**
  
-Aaru has its own image format that's deduped and compressed, and can be converted into a myriad of other compatible formats. It stores every aspect of the disc, so we recommend using this for preservation purposes and then you can convert your resulting image to another format for other uses.+To run Aaru using the command line, you put your disc in your compatible drive, and run the following command (with d: being your DVD drive and e: being an external drive you use for storing dumps):
  
-To run Aaru using the command line you simply put your PS2 DVD in your compatible drive, and run the following command (with d: being your DVD drive and e: being an external drive you use for storing dumps): +<code batch> 
- +aaru media dump d: e:\GAMENAME.aaruf
-<code -> +
-aaru media dump d: e:\GAMENAME_PS2.aaruf+
 </code> </code>
  
-To verify your dump against other existing dumps, you can then look into the resulting GAMENAME_PS2.cicm.xml to find all information needed such as size, hashes, etc. Make sure you look at the right set of information, for PS2 hashes on redump for instance they share information about "Tracks", not the whole image.+You can see the hashes for individual elements of the dump in the resulting ''GAMENAME.cicm.xml''.
  
-So look into your GAMENAME_PS2.cicm.xml file and you will find something similar to this, and then you can verify against other existing hashes:+For example:
  
-<code ->+<code xml>
     <Track>     <Track>
-      <Image format="BINARY">GAMENAME_PS2.aaruf</Image>+      <Image format="BINARY">GAMENAME.aaruf</Image>
       <Size>3602317312</Size>       <Size>3602317312</Size>
