I created a repository with details about my PC-FX subcode analysis, including instructions on how I went about it and the Python program I wrote to scan the subcode. Here is a link to the repository - maybe it's useful for other systems' games too.

My speculation on why indexes exist inside of data tracks - I don't believe that they are explicilty used, but may have been added as part of the mastering process. That is, several independently-coded sections are appended, and may have been assigned indexes at that point.

I was using a program called "CD Manipulator" to extract the subcode, but I did get a small variance on a CD+G disc, as compared to a prior rip with other software (not as many pregaps), so there is probably still some room for learning more.

Only one game (Pachio-kun) has an additional index (besides pre-gap and index 1) in AUDIO - Pachio-kun. And that is close enough to the end of the track that I don't think it's used.

Looking at CD subcode use on PC-FX games, and I found a few interesting things:.1) Quite a few timing marks have errors (100 or more per disc), so the subcode-Q CRC is actually quite important. 2) Around 50% of PC-FX games use subindexes inside of the data tracks (!).

It's not their first overhaul, but I think it has much more (negative) impact than others in the past. It is also interesting to note that in the past they have almost always done these overhauls at the very end of an economic cycle/bubble, and often have to walk them back.

Air Canada announced an overhaul of their frequent flier plan today (effective 2026) which makes it about 3 times more difficult to earn points and 2 to 4 times more difficult to earn status, if flying long-haul between North America and Asia.

Reading the latest update from Termdriver, I was thinking "if displays are cheap, why don't we start putting them on everything ?".So maybe I'll think about making a PC-FX backup cart with ePaper to display what games are on it and how much space remains.

I won't be attending this year, but I thought I'd post about Hackaday Supercon's discount advanced ticket sales here. I had fun attending last year, and met some really interesting people.
