I have several dumps of PC games from the late 90s and early 2000s that are in the Redump.org database, but not available on Myrient or Archive.org. The games are from the POWER DoLLS series of really cool strategy games. Some are on Myrient and Archive, but some aren’t.

Most are CD images that are a data track followed by audio tracks. If I mount them with Daemon Tools and dump them with the Redump.org MPU tool, I can get several of the games to spit out a valid 1st track (data), but then none of the following audio tracks are valid according to the Redump database.

This makes me think the track offsets or pregaps or something like that are off and the dumps are actually good. Anyone have any insight?

TL;DR: I have dumps of PC games from the POWER DoLLS series that are in the Redump.org database but not on Myrient or Archive.org. Most are CD images with a data track followed by audio tracks. Using Daemon Tools and the Redump.org MPU tool, I can get valid data tracks, but the audio tracks don’t validate. I suspect the issue is with track offsets or pregaps, not the actual dumps. Looking for advice.
