  • WIP release (version here)

  • .NET Core 3.1 running on (Operating System)

Describe the issue
A clear and concise description of what the bug is.
While MPF can execute DiscImageCreator to dump the low density, it seems to have an issue handling the output from the high density. DiscImageCreator doesn't output .ccd files for dumps made with the gd command, but MPF expects them when packing files and creating the submission files. When DIC finishes dumping, the program doesn't see the missing files and doesn't bother to pack anything or spawn the submission info window. This issue does not occur when dumping the LD area with "CD-ROM".

DiscImageCreator has finished!
Running any additional tools... see log for output!
No external tools needed!
Gathering submission information... please wait!
There were files missing from the output:
D:\Sazpaimon\Dumps\2022\Sonic Adventure LE 6-3-99\Dump 1\HD\Sonic Adventure LE 6-3-99.ccd

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. To dump the HD of a GD-ROM, set System/Media type to Sega Dreamcast, and the box on the right to GD-ROM.
  2. Click Start Dumping.
  3. Once the dump finishes, this occurs

Expected behavior
The submission window should appear to enter information and MPF should pack the logs into a zip file.

Additional context
Here are the logs and files DIC currently generates now (excluding the .scm/.img/.bin files.
