Hi all,

I'll hope these infos can help you if you want to check your ISO files.
They're all filesizes and MD5 for all (8) DVD, and I precise, for me they're working on my PC without any problem.

dyn-somni2d1.iso : label is Spectrasonics Omnisphere - filesize = 7.14 GB / 7,677,655,040 bytes - MD5 = FA677461A8C2649DBEF5715FCF504ACE
Note: this ISO comes from D1 PROPER.

dyn-somni2d2.iso : label is Omnisphere B - filesize = 7.02 GB / 7,542,341,632 bytes - MD5 = B6807C0A147F4E7D052A9027ABFAF93E
dyn-somni2d3.iso : label is Omnisphere C - filesize = 7.31 GB / 7,856,029,696 bytes - MD5 = C06602BFE57EF54A277E439DD0EB1101
dyn-somni2d4.iso : label is Omnisphere D - filesize = 7.07 GB / 7,594,868,736 bytes - MD5 = CEFD59BA4D068E6C6E1213829575231E
dyn-somni2d5.iso : label is Omnisphere E - filesize = 6.93 GB / 7,447,347,200 bytes - MD5 = 81A12AF1167DEFF132508A40D3D0855B
dyn-somni2d6.iso : label is Omnisphere F - filesize = 6.43 GB / 6,905,659,392 bytes - MD5 = 2484771C45A4504190FCF259267953A7
dyn-somni2d7.iso : label is Omnisphere G - filesize = 6.52 GB / 7,011,270,656 bytes - MD5 = 112C0F16821ED10C54C75A85DB1E3006
dyn-somni2d8.iso : label is Omnisphere H - filesize = 6.91 GB / 7,422,574,592 bytes - MD5 = 19327053F28672543640DFA3547F720A

If the filesizes (in bytes) don't match => ISO is corrupted! (don't waste your time, ignore following steps, download and/or extract again, maybe by using another software to extract archive)
If the filesizes (in bytes) match => check the MD5!!!!

If MD5 don't match => ISO is corrupted! (download and/or extract again, blabla)
If MD5 match, your ISO is good.

On Windows 7 x64 I'm using SummerProperties (x64) to obtain CRC-16/CRC-32/MD5/SHA-1 for any file I want. Download it (it's free), install it, right click (on any small file first), Properties, select Checksums tab. Click "Configure" button, uncheck all except "MD5", check "Use upper case...". Click OK / OK to close entirely the Properties dialog box. Now you can right click on iso file, Properties, select Checksums tab, wait... (check progress bar) when finished, it's MD5 hash is displayed.

For MacOS X (I don't have Mac sorry) but I've read you can use md5sum (google it) to do this.

D8 reposted as PROPER have the same filesize and MD5 (I don't have downloaded D7 PROPER nor D6 PROPER, but sure they can help Mac users).

On PC/Windows: mounting all 8 DVD at the same time can cause troubles (reported by many users, see also my discussion with Focusrite). Mount only one ISO at time (when asked by the installer).

 

Thanks mate. This is really helpful, cause I have to redownload it all, at least now I can check hash upon download.
Now, there is only to hope the ripping was done properly by DYNAMiCS
I say this, because the first boxed library rip I received initially, had 7 on 8 discs completely messed, no even need to hash,
filesize was much smaller than expected for some discs.

PS: for MD5 on Mac just open Terminal.app and use this command:

Code:

md5 path/to/your/filename.extension

 

I have downloaded three different versions of DVD8, from three different sources: all three are strictly identical! The problem about initial release for DVD6 to DVD8 was the archiver used to compress ISOs (or to uncompress them). Also I've read (somewhere) zip-parts are not identical between providers (I've downloaded only from ul.to because I've a premium account on ul provider)

On Windows platform, using 7-Zip works fine (of course after fixing filenames for 3 parts for DVD6).

Since this afternoon I'm using my own "robot" to test (automatically) all Ominsphere 2 patches and multis (work as keyboard macro on separate PC notebook with SSD), it selects next patch in list every 20 seconds, and so on (until end of list). All patches are passed without loading error. Now it's working on multis (load next multi every minute to be sure)... *yes* I know, I'm mad guy...

Thanks for the tip about md5 command line on OSX. md5 is natively implemented?

 

I downloaded everything from torrent (DYNAMICS release) and used R2R keygen from AudioZ. Works flawesly so far.


By the way the torrent DYNAMICS releases CD 1-8 are ISO files (no rar). I had no corrupted files.

 

In some posts, sfv are only for zip/rar parts (not for the content such iso image). It's true for D6/D7/D8 posted on AZ (I mean the first post), zip contain one iso file, and nothing else, believe me.

 

Guys use torrents

 

Ahahah great mate. I use the same method to check for custombombs while reversing, switching patches back and forth,
pushing buttons, and moving faders and knobs (automation is not the same). Saved a lot of time when I had to deal with FXpansion minefield

Of course it is *yes*
BTW I'm sure Windows have something native too, a guy was talking me about protections using API calls for crypto-hashing needs on Win *yes*

EDIT: Yes, there is something native

 

first disc for me did not match, so redownloaded again & now working. Thanks for your efforts docam28.

 

I use Hashtab

http://implbits.com/

 

Yes.I second that!!!

 

Hashtab is the successor of SummerProperties (abandoned). They're ton of tools for hashes.

 

You must download FICV in order to use it, IMO it's not a "native" (aka integrated in OS) command-line utility. But useful to create hash files (or to check using existing hash file), however. As you've said, copylefter, it's something native for this I'm giving +1 to you *yes*

FXpansion minefield =

Anecdote about CRC32 collisions: I've saw two different ISO files with same CRC32! really, Flight Simulator X Pro Edition DVD 1 and DVD 2.

 

Un ok lol. I thought it wasn't a 3rd party cli tool. So I was wrong ahah, it's not native at all.
But there should be something, if it's available via system call when coding (CryptoAPI if I recall well) I guess there's also a cli implementation.
Sorry, I'm too noob at win, I just found that article googling

 

It's not a problem copylefter, your knowledge about Windows are better than mine about MacOS X. On Win OS, unless you install an addon, Windows doesn't have CLI for hashes. CryptoAPI (also called CAPI) was designed by "Bill Company" initially to secure applications. It's an API, like any API it offers functions (primitives) to developpers.

 

Thank you docam28. I was searching everywhere to fix my issues. Kept getting errors when trying to use updater and then I tried copying and pasting manually, ignoring the errors with the update, you name it. Saw this thread yesterday and proceeded to check my discs. Lo and behold the MD5 for 3 of my discs didn't match yours even though they were all the correct size. Downloaded said discs, MD5 matched, and installed. No problems or hitches and everything works flawlessly! Can't thank you and R2R enough!

 

Sure CRC32 is an obsolete hashing method, and about mentioned dics above, it was a will of the publisher to add required padding datas in order to force CRC32s. Now they're enforced hashing methods like SHA-256.
