 ===== 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://aaru.app|Aaru]].
  
-However, if you are dumping a disc to submit to redump.org they currently only support DiscImageCreator dumps.+Redump.org's recommendation is [[https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator|DiscImageCreator]], and if you want to submit a dump to redump, they don't accept dumps made with other tools in most circumstances.
  
-We recommend using [[https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF|Media Preservation Frontend (MPF)]] as the frontend for both approaches, as it comes prepackaged with both Aaru, DiscImageCreator, and DD.+Hit Save and Redump.org 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.

-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 -> <code ->
-aaru media dump d: e:\GAMENAME_PS2.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_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 ->
     <Track>     <Track>
-      <Image format="BINARY">GAMENAME_PS2.aaruf</Image>+      <Image format="BINARY">GAMENAME.aaruf</Image>
