==== Tool option 3 - Ootake ====


You may use a hex editor of your choice.
Ootake is a PC Engine/Turbografx emulator, it includes support for dumping the code tracks from the disc. Ootake requires the user to dump the system card bios from a real Turbografx before it will allow you to dump the tracks.

Under Linux you are required to use dumpcd when extracting your code track. Provided below are the dumpcd sources.

If you are using Linux you will need to compile the dumpcd code yourself. This code can be found here: [http://gracesdisposal.bpweb.net/LOOM/ISO%20TOOLS/DUMPCD%20SOURCE%20LINUX/ here.]

If everything goes well then you should have a file called ‘CODE_02.ISO’ in your dumpcd directory.  
If everything goes well then you should have a file called ‘CODE_02.ISO’ in your dumpcd directory.  
You should check this file for an md5 matching: ''40015B9D4B6A88C623BBC8AB2693A152.''  
If you are extracting the English version, the md5 should be: ''40015B9D4B6A88C623BBC8AB2693A152''.
The Japanese version's md5 is ''A2281C014DFED8C4FF7B2C098EB79500''.

=== Using TurboRip ===


Rip the code track using TurboRip which should output an iso file for the code track
Run a command prompt and navigate it to the directory containing TurboRip.exe.
Then load up the code iso then load the iso up in your favourite hex editor and
Run TurboRip.exe and it will prompt you to enter the CD-ROM device you want to use.
strip from byte 614800 until the end of the file, This should all be null data.
Choose your device using the correct parameter.
The disc TOC should be recognised as Loom(U) or Loom(J) and extraction will begin.


Save the file and then check its md5 against : ''40015B9D4B6A88C623BBC8AB2693A152.''
If this has been successful there should be a number of files in your TurboRip directory.
You will need the iso file for track 2.


Check its md5 against ''10432E01B7F133F24AB7550614943FB3'' for the English version and ''BBF72CAEB6659F56C20FFF53B55DD8C0'' for the Japanese version.
