Description
Description
Neo Geo CD disc can not be dumped.
Expected behavior
CUE/BIN file to be successfully dumped.
Actual behavior
Passing 5% of the progression the dump aborts with a failure.
Steps to reproduce the bug
- Insert a Neo Geo CD disk
- Launch retroarch
- Dump the CD
- Wait for the crash around 5%
Bisect Results
I dumped several SegaCD/MegaCD games without any issue.
All my Neo Geo CD games are failing around 5% and the disk surface isn't to be blamed.
A DD of the disk doesn't report any issue, nor ripping the audio session.
