This page does not allow for changing any options, but is merely a source of information for the available CD and DVD drives. By selecting a drive in the drop down list at the top CDGFix 3 Super will display the capabilities for the drive.
CD-R: Indicates whether the selected drive can read CD-R media.
CD-RW: Indicates whether the selected drive can read CD-RW media.
Supports digital ripping: Indicates whether the selected drive supports ripping tracks on digital form. This is a requirement for CDGFix 3 Super to be able to load tracks from a CDG disc. SuperCDG DVDs however can be read independently of this capability.
Raw R-W sub-channel data: Indicates whether the selected drive can return sub-channel data during ripping. Sub-channel data is where the graphics are stored on CDG discs. If this option is not supported the drive only return the music without the graphics. Note that this option is sometimes reported incorrectly by the drive as not supported even if it is. In such cases CDGFix 3 Super will issue a warning, but still let you try to rip the CDG disc.
De-interleaved and error corrected R-W data: Indicates whether the selected drive has built-in de-interleave and Error correction (Reed Solomon). Error correction is used to protect the graphics when the drive fails to read all data correctly due to scratches or other problems. If the drive does not support hardware error correction the returned data may be corrupted, resulting in bad spots and other garbage in the graphics. However, CDGFix 3 Super has built-in support for software de-interleave and Reed Solomon error correction that takes over if the drive can't do this. As a result, and opposed to most other CDG ripping tools, CDGFix 3 Super is able to rip error free graphics from all drives that can return sub-channels, independently of the drive's own capabilities.
Maximum speed: Identifies the maximum reading speed of the selected drive.
Current speed: Identifies the currently set reading speed of the selected drive. The reading speed is set by the last program that accessed the drive.
