 ===== Introduction ===== ===== Introduction =====
  
-This dumping guide is for:+{{wst>community_equipment_discs}}
  
-  * Any CD format, including (but not limited to): most console games, Audio CD, and PC games (supports dumping games with the following copy protection: SecuRom 3, CDS100, CDS200, Label Gate, XCP). +This dumping guide is for:
-  * 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. +
-  * 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. +
  
-For other systems and formats, please see the sidebar list.+  * 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, 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: [[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]]. Aaru produces a deduped and compressed image which is built for preservation purposes, and can be converted to many other formats for different use 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. +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.
- +
-We recommend using [[https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF|Media Preservation Frontend (MPF)]] as the frontend for both methods, as it comes prepackaged with both Aaru, DiscImageCreator, and DD.+

-For dump information added to redump.org, it is currently necessary to use DiscImageCreator. Please see [[http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Dumping_Guides|their dumping guides]] for more information about DiscImageCreator and how to submit information to the redump.org database.+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 has its own image format that's deduped and compressed, and can be converted into a myriad of other compatible formats. It stores almost every aspect of the disc, so we recommend using this tool 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 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): +<code batch>
- +
-<code ->+
 aaru media dump d: e:\GAMENAME.aaruf aaru media dump d: e:\GAMENAME.aaruf
 </code> </code>
  
-To verify your dump against other existing dumps, you can then look into the resulting GAMENAME.cicm.xml to find all information needed such as size, hashes, etc. Make sure you look at the right set of information - for multi-track hashes on redump.org, for instance, information is stored per "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.cicm.xml file and you will find something similar to this, which you can then verify against other existing hashes in databases such as redump.org:+For example:
  
-<code ->+<code xml>
     <Track>     <Track>
       <Image format="BINARY">GAMENAME.aaruf</Image>       <Image format="BINARY">GAMENAME.aaruf</Image>
