I have a drive on the list, PS3 Disc Dumper and the ird files for the games im trying to dump.

When i put any PS3 disk in the the drive it shows up as a blank BD disc in Windows Explorer. But PS3 Disc Dumper does nothing, and detects nothing. :/

I know nothing about dumping ps3 games on the pc, but they're encrypted with the secure ID iirc. you can dump them on the system, and it shouldn't be a problem. managunz can check ird or you can do it manually with ps3 flow builder, I think is the name.

I know the drive works. It's in the list of drives that work for PS3 games. And I used to use it all the time for this purpose. I also tested it with other types of media today and it appears to be working fine. Really weird.
