Redump < HOT × Review >

Before a disc image is certified and assigned a "verified" status in the master database, the exact same cryptographic hashes (usually MD5, SHA-1, and CRC32) must be submitted by at least two different users using entirely different physical copies of the disc and separate optical drives. When two distinct physical discs yield identical cryptographic hashes across different hardware setups, the community can mathematically guarantee that the dump is a perfect replica of the factory-pressed master. The Strict Technical Dumping Protocol

Redump is a comprehensive effort to accurately re-rip and verify the data on optical media, such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. The project aims to create a reliable database of media information, providing a valuable resource for collectors, researchers, and the gaming community. redump

Not all drives are equal. Some, like the Optiarc AD-7200S, are legendary for their ability to read damaged discs perfectly. Before a disc image is certified and assigned
