Hey! I go to your site to check out the redbook audio section: https://minirevver.weebly.com/redboo...dio-music.html

Quick question, though: do any 3DO CDs actually work in a CD player? Because I've tried Super Street Fighter II Turbo, but it didn't. And I've tried an ISO of Sailor Moon S and autoplay didn't recognize it as an audio CD. Both of these games are listed on your 3DO section: https://minirevver.weebly.com/3do-cd-music.html

Thanks for your impressive archive!

(By the way, I'm in the process of trying to acquire a game that's on your 'check' list that hasn't been dumped yet in hopes to get its CD audio tracks. It's an FM Towns game.)

Hey Jedi Questmaster, good question.

When it comes to 3DO I'm gonna have to double check most of those later, that whole redbook project is WIP and more recent than the rest. The most detailed pages are PS1 and Saturn where I've downloaded and examined the discs, see the audio formats pages for those (I've checked them by mounting the iso and if it opens in WMP I mention that and if it has more than a warning message only). I also just realized the other day I can use jPSXdec on Saturn game discs though it's not designed for it.

For now, if it's a multiplat game where the other ports use redbook it's likely that's the case on 3DO too.

Nice, would appreciate if you can upload some footage or audio from it and provide audio format info!

I'll probably upload a YouTube video, seeing as there's no footage of this game.

I way overpayed for it, though. (You don't want to know how much (but you can probably find out easily).)

Also, I never really had intentions of dumping the game. I just wanted to rip the redbook (if it uses CD audio) and scan the artwork.

Oh wow, I had that game on SMS back in the day. Got it based on the cool dragon rider cover art but the game was basically unplayable. Probably better on PCs though as most CRPGs were then.

Edit:
Oh yeah, I started on the '90s page. Two years covered so far.

YT is being weird, actually had trouble re-finding some of the most popular ones when making the playlists and it had just been a couple of weeks. Also seems harder to find the most viewed video now, you gotta scroll further down almost every time.
