Missing ECC 'signature/watermark' in last sectors of the disc #3
Description
This affects at least the following games, but most likely there are more:
- Capcom Generation 5
- Gaia Seed
- The Misadventures of Tron Bonne
- Panzer Bandit
- Resident Evil 2 Dualshock Edition (both discs)
- Castlevania: Symphony of the Night
- Soukuu no Tsubasa Gotha World
The issue is likely purely cosmetic, and makes the extracted BIN file fail the checksum vs redump, but as the last sector on these games is always empty the ECC data should not actually matter whether playing in emulator or by burning to disc. Which means these dumps are fully playable, just fail the verification step.
Should investigate anyway, it's an interesting mystery what data the publishers put in this area of the disc, and why it's on so few discs. And perhaps it could be extracted from the EBOOT as well if we look hard enough...
