I have an ar disc. will dump that and try out if your idea works,
since codes the normal way won't for some reason (usblgx always fails to find the gct file, although the path is properly set in the settings and the gct is correctly named after the game id) forget that part I just forgot to set a hooktype... I feel stupid
. will report back after I've done so.
Edit: Too bad, cleanrip and also usblgx don't like the disc and give an error after the first couple of seconds. Will try to find another way to dump / obtain the iso
Edit 2: After some reading the error seems to occur because cleanrip and usblgx expect a gamecube image to be 1.35gb. on most gamecube discs the empty space is filled with garbage data, which is not the case on the ar disc. I tried to open the approximately 30 kb big iso image I got with wii scrubber, which identifies it as an empty wii image. using wiimms iso tools to verify the image gives an error about wrong / unexpected file type. will still try to load the image with dios mios and see how it goes.
Edit 3: As expected, no success so far since dios mios only code dumps when you throw the ar iso at it. Also I just read that datel disc can't be dumped the normal way since they contain bad sectors just before the data to stop the dumping process. Anyone know a work around for this? Or is the only possible way one of those special LG drives that can rip wii and gc discs (which I don't have sadly)?
