 ===== Introduction =====
+{{wst>community_equipment_discs}}
 This dumping guide is for:
-  * Any CD format, including (but not limited to): most console games, Audio CD, and PC games. DiscImageCreator also supports dumping games with the following copy protection: SecuRom 3, CDS100, CDS200, Label Gate, XCP. 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.

 ===== Recommendations =====
-Hit Save's recommendation for dumping discs is [[https://github.com/aaru-dps/aaru/|Aaru]].
+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.
-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.
+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.
-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.
