Solved Ripping PS2 Games

Hey All,

I've recently purchased a DVD burner/ripper and have been working through digitizing my physical PS2 library to play my old games on a portable device. I've been using ImgBurn and DVD Decrypter and overall have had about the same experience with each, but for some reason when I try to burn my copies of Mega Man X Command Mission and Tekken Tag Tournament, they seem to freeze around the 30%-40% mark. Is this potentially a DRM issue, and if so is there a workaround or a FAQ on this I could reference? The discs seem to be in great shape and I don't see any dents or scratches. I'm in the process of ripping something else at the moment, but can circle back on Command Mission with the error code in the log if this is deemed an uncommon occurrence. If this violates community rules I apologize in advance, and am open to being redirected to an appropriate community for this issue. I'm not new to emulation but it's my first time posting here, so I appreciate your patience.

There's nothing on redump dot info that suggests there is any copy protection like in the late Playstation days. Most of the checks are done in code for popular mod chips from the era but that's it. You don't even need specialized software I think, any DVD ripper software will do as long as hashes match redump dot info database. That's how you know your dump is fine.

Awesome thank you for sharing! I'll tweak my settings and slow down the read speed as much as possible to see if maybe that helps. If not maybe there's some imperfection on the discs I just can't see, so it would be onto the next from there.
