Surface scan Xbox/Xbox360/PS2/Dreamcast discs?

[Koleman]

Hi, I work at a new video game store (www.gameoncanada.com).

I was wondering if there was a way to be able to scan the video game discs we get in for trade to see if there are any read errors?

I have tried with my Nero tool kit, but it only shows the DVD-Rom portion of the disc, not the actual data on it.

I know that the xbox/360use a proprietary file system, and that Dreamcast use GD-Roms (I am not sure of the PS2 disc structure) but is there any way to get software to just do a surface scan to see how well it reads the pits and valleys?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

From what I understand, XBox reads the discs from the outside in.

Wouldn't DVDInfo Pro do it?

You can more or less check the disc if you have a modded console, with a dashboard that has an ftp server (like EVOX).

You also need to have it networked with a PC...

1. start up your xbox without a disc.
2. use a pc ftp client and connect to your xbox.
3. copy all the disc's files to your pc..

If all the files read out fine, the disc SHOULD be okay...

It's the only way i've found... the xbox discs are incompatible with a pc drive
