Description

When comparing an image converted from a DICF image, DIC says that some sectors are different. The image I tested ended up having thirteen sectors different according to the compare command after being converted to both MDS and DICF. This doesn't happen when converting from MDS.

Exact command line used:

.\DiscImageChef.exe convert-image ".\ROMETWBI.dicf" ".\ROMETWBI.mds" -f
.\DiscImageChef.exe compare ".\ROMETWBI.dicf" ".\ROMETWBI.mds"

Output of command execution with debug output enabled

.\DiscImageChef.exe convert-image ".\ROMETWBI.dicf" ".\ROMETWBI.mds" -f
