Neo Geo CD dump fails after 5% for every disc
Description
Neo Geo CD disc can not be dumped.
Expected behavior
CUE/BIN file to be successfully dumped.
Actual behavior
Passing 5% of the progression the dump aborts with a failure.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Insert a Neo Geo CD disk
- Launch retroarch
- Dump the CD
- Wait for the crash around 5%
Bisect Results
I dumped several SegaCD/MegaCD games without any issue. All my Neo Geo CD games are failing around 5% and the disk surface isn't to be blamed. A DD of the disk doesn't report any issue, nor ripping the audio session.
Version/Commit
- RetroArch: 1.17.0 / ad8975cb5a
Environment information
- OS: Linux
- Compiler: GCC 13.2.1
I checked with a random example but could not reproduce. Can you get a RetroArch log of it happening? Also, is the .cue created before the crash happens, and if so, does it contain anything?

Yes, the cue and a bin are created then it crashes. How can I retrieve a log of the error?
Just tried with KOF97, the dump went steadily up to 10%, stalled then crashed. The disc is pristine, no scratch visible. 5.0K Feb 24 13:48 cdrom-240224-134827.cue 80M Feb 24 13:50 'cdrom-240224-134827 (Track 01).bin'
if I use abcde then I can rip the whole 45 audio tracks without any issue.
I swapped the dvd disk drive for another (a BD drive this time) and the result is the same (albeit faster). logs: [INFO] [CDROM]: Starting disc dump... [INFO] [CDROM]: Dumping track 1... [INFO] [CDROM]: Dump finished. If I run the dump then it fails as it can't find the second track.
Can you list the contents of the .cue file? It is a simple text file. And how big is track01 dump exactly?
So far I am unable to reproduce, based on the redump .cue the disk is certainly not usual - for one thing, it has 99 indexes in the first track while normally there are max. 2, but that should not matter too much (even though RetroArch dump will not preserve those). Maybe there is also something off-standard with the track size as well.
Just tried with "Super Sidekicks 2", it stopped at 7% Track 1 is 46MB big. Cue indicates 15 bin tracks. It's like for my NeoGeoCD games it only dump the first track.
Can you please put here the exact contents of the created .cue file (it is a simple text file, any text editor should be able to show it), and the exact size of the created .bin file (in bytes - unfortunately "46MB", "80M" is a rounded value, not useful for locating the problem).

Sure thing. Here is another attempt, this time with KOF94. Stopped at 5% ls -l cdrom-240302-174009* 39146688 Mar 2 17:41 'cdrom-240302-174009 (Track 01).bin' 2513 Mar 2 17:40 cdrom-240302-174009.cue

Sorry to say, I tried with multiple approaches, but could not replicate the issue, dump was always going through. Maybe it is something with original Neo Geo CDs, but I do not have any of those nearby. Let's leave the issue open, maybe someone else can pick it up.
Indeed, so far only these discs showed that issue. SegaCD, MegaCD, Saturn discs? Flawless dumps.
Let's hope someone can confirm if they get the same issue with the originals and with the same build I use.
