Describe the issue
Hi @CosmicScale
I have a full raw dump and the corresponding HDD_ID.bin from an original Japanese PS2 HDD unit that I believe will be useful for the preservation and development of the project.
This unit came from a Japanese SCPH-20400 (external enclosure) and is the SCPH-20401 model (40GB Maxtor).
Hardware Details:
Model: SCPH-20401
HDD: Maxtor D540X-4D (4D040H2)
Mfg Date: 24-APR-2002
Dump Method: HDD Raw Copy Tool (Raw .img)
ID Method: Extracted via PowerShell/sg3_utils (HDD_ID.bin included)
Contents found via IsoBuster:
I’ve explored the image and it contains several interesting partitions, including some rare updates/patches:
__sysconf, __system, __common, __contents
Nobunaga's Ambition Online (PP.SLPM-65197.KOEI.NOBUON and the rare patch partition PC.SLPM-65197.KOEI.NOBUONPATCHB)
Shin Sangoku Musou 3 / Dynasty Warriors 4 (PP.SLPM-65248.KOEI.SM3)
Tetra Master (PP.SLPS-20200.0002.TETRAMASTER)
Janhourou (PP.SLPS-20200.0003.JANHOUROU)
PlayOnline Viewer (PP.SLPS-20200.1000.POLVIEWER)
Final Fantasy XI (PP.SLPS-25200.0001.FFXI)

Also, if you find anything particularly rare or useful within these files, please let me know—I’d love to hear about it!
