My Pioneer drive doesn't support C2 error codes, so I have to specify --drive-sector-order=DATA_SUB on the command line every time. It'd be much more convenient if there was a dropdown for the sector order alongside the existing BE_CDDA option.

Alternatively, a way to specify misc extra params to always get added on to the command line would also be nice.

I'm sorry, but for the primary use of this frontend, having this be a configurable option for most people would make thins more difficult. Having configurable extra params is possible in the future, but it is not currently being looked at. I will mark this as "help wanted" if anyone is willing to do the second option.

The current options for BE_CDDA and GENERIC contradicts the reason for not having DATA_SUB as an option. In fact, BE_CDDA and GENERIC options have already caused issues for redump in the past due to users previously ticking them then later using a different drive. I suggest the sector order be hidden behind an advanced options / non-redump mode warning, alongside read method and generic drive type.

Of course, I'll also implement this, not just suggest it.
