MCCBounceEnable VS DiscImageCreator

Are you on PC? You can use https://github.com/Daylonz/MCCBounceEnable to set the tick rate back to 30.

Well, it’s possible for Halo 2. I can only guess that there’s just no interest in applying it to Halo 3 as that game never had super bounces, but maybe that repo could provide clues. You can attach Cheat Engine to the game and try to hunt for the right values, but it will take a while.

It did, however, the original bounces can easily be enabled with the help from a small program.

First I found this: https://github.com/Daylonz/MCCBounceEnable which simply crashes my game when enabled, so that's out (currently hoping it's creator adds me on discord so I can ask about it)

I can recommend https://github.com/saramibreak/DiscImageCreator . It handles all kinds of weird formats and copy protections, and it's open source! You can use https://github.com/SabreTools/MPF as the frontend if you like.

DiscImageCreator for making a complete backup (if drive is supported, otherwise use Alcohol 120%), and MakeMKV for ripping the video files from the DVD or ISO image. WinCDEmu is useful for mounting and as an alternative for creating an ISO image.

Aaru and DiscImageCreator are the best tools available for proper preservation of weird copy protected discs. They may or may not support your drive properly, though.

Why not use DiscImageCreator? It's command line, open source, has among the best handling of copy protected discs (especially game discs), and also collects a bunch of other data about the disc that can potentially be useful for archival purposes (subchannel data, pressing offset information, etc.).

Try DiscImageCreator. It's a command line tool with lots of options including how many read retries to do, etc. There's also a GUI called MPF (Media Preservation Frontend) available.
