Dumping disc by EA failes with read error

[eku]

The following CDs WUP-P-AF3P and WUP-P-ANSP from EA unexpectedly abort with never-ending read errors. The CDs are clean and do not show any unusual scratches. WUP-P-ALZP was easy to dump. Needless to say, all three games can be played without any problems.

Is it a bug in wudd or could EA use copy protection?

If discs play fine but they fail to dump, they have some kind scratches in parts of the disc without any actual game data. Try to clean the disc anyway.

Tip: When you see the read-error screen, you can eject the disc, clean it, insert it back again until it reads fine. Skipping sectors it's only recommend if it really has no chance to read.

In my experience clean already "clean" disc help in many cases, even if it takes a few attempts

That did it. Thanks for the hint.

While I was faced with disc errors the desire arose for the following options:

• Besides A and B, a possibility to abort in case of errors.
• An option to skip all future errors.
• The possibility to abort the process and continue at any time, i.e. to record the progress and to dump only the sectors that have not yet been dumped the next time.
• In case of errors or completion, a haptic feedback, e.g. vibration (see NUSpli).
