Some Kiosk Discs (Cat-R) aren't dumping #10

Thanks for your awesome software :)

I'm preserving Kiosk discs with redump.org and we have recently dumped a dozen Kiosk discs perfectly with a Kiosk unit.

However, there are a couple discs that just would not dump and wudump froze up. Between myself and someone else, we tested two different copies of the August 2014 kiosk disc (GPK, DEMO CAT-I AUG '14 USA-PT / 100147/ 100148 - DISC, CAT-I RTL AUG '14 USA-PT) and it would not complete (mine stalling at 15% dumped).

Is this something Wudump could update fix? Thanks again :)

wudump is just a main loop that calls part of IOSU (basically part of the wiiu operating system) to get a block from a disc and tries to do so until that call does not return any error, meaning that really I cannot change anything as there really is no code to begin with to change, its all official nintendo code, as to why for some consoles/discs problems seem to occur I have no idea sadly.

Thank you very much for your reply. Interesting that the discs will play fine - so they can be read by the console - except during the dumping phase.
