I just saw the disc dumping functionality in RetroArch. Decided to try to play a game from the disk and found that it ran incredibly slow. The game was Gran Turismo 1 and the intro ran slower than it should have. Dumping the disc to an image worked, though it too took quite a while to read.
What kind of read routines are being used? Is there a way of tinkering with some settings here?
Also, how are the filenames derived? My Gran Turismo disc is named “cdrom-200608-193306”, which doesn’t ring any bells in my head.
I’m very intrigued and curious as to how this is working now and where it’s going to go. Will there be a database of cds that get matched to game names? (Edit: Scanning the downloads folder added it to a PlayStation playlist with the right name, so that answers that question.)
Any more info you can give me on this will be appreciated.
Thanks!
