EDCRE provides a solution to update EDC/EEC data to match any patching done to a data track of a CD image. This allows PSX games with EDC Protection to be patched and hacked successfully with programs such as PS1 DemoSwap Patcher and APrip using a clever workaround turned on by default. EDCRE is not limited to EDC Protected PSX games however, just specify the -z argument to enforce all sectors to be checked and fixed with updated EDC/EEC data if needed.

Do you know how effective this patcher is in comparison to APrip?

EDCRE enables you to use aprip on edc protected games successfully when burning raw. EDC protected games require runnning edcre after any tocperfect or aprip patches are made to the disc image.

As for the compatibility with EDC protected games, it's 100% for all the ones I've found. APrip can also successfully patch the cd image of all the EDC protected games IIRC (and International already has bypasses for them from aprip gs codes).
