Invalid Files when scanning
ryanliii opened this issue · comments
Hi there! I ran into an issue after the disc was scanned and got 5 invalid files. I'm hoping this doesn't cause an issue later down the road, so when I go to re-scan discs it doesn't let me. I'm trying to avoid going through the whole read process again and I'm just wondering if this is a common issue and what normal troubleshooting steps are.
What do you mean by "disc was scanned and got 5 invalid files"? There's no validation on the initial scan, only during the dumping process.
Also asking for help without providing the relevant log is basically a guarantee to not receive any useful response. In general, having explicit errors means either 1) disc is scratched / has unreadable sectors, or 2) relevant IRD file is wrong or 3) you have extremely rare disc print that doesn't match with existing IRD file.
Firstly, I want to say thank you for creating such a great tool. Very useful and essential to enjoying these games again. Second, my apologies for not adding the relevant information. Below is the log file and a link to a screenshot similar to what I encountered, but it said "5 invalid files" instead of "33 invalid files".

From what it looks like, the dump was completed successfully. To revise my question, I guess it would be, "Would re-dumping the disc result in a valid dump?"
Since the disc doesn't have a single scratch on it, I'm assuming it was probably the result of just an unreadable sector?
What you posted is nothing but initial disc detection, there's no dumping involved and no errors.
Interesting. That was the only thing in the log file but the disc was fully dumped. I was able to sort of boot the game. What about the screenshot? Does that look normal? If you don’t want to click on the link I’ll describe what it shows:
I successfully goes through the steps
- PS3 Game Disc Detected
- select a disc key file
- decrypt and copy files
but then on the final step I see
x 5 invalid files
Again, if you say it’s an unreadable sector then it’s an unreadable sector, but I just wanted to be sure since I didn’t see any documentation on encountering this.
I already said that without a proper log it's impossible to say if it's a read errors or something else. If you can't find proper log, then you'll have to redump and try to reproduce the problem.
