			<content type="html"><![CDATA[<p>Hi there! I&#039;m in the process of cleaning up and ordering my PS2 games backup files, so I&#039;ve been building some powershell scripts to help me with that.</p><p>For tha reason redump.org has been really helpful so far, but I&#039;ve come into a problem. I want to have some sort of local database with game&#039;s information. So far I&#039;ve started building it up by hand, but I&#039;ve discovered that I can download this file:</p><p>redump.org/datfile/ps2/</p><p>However I&#039;ve come into a problem with it. In my database I have each element categorized by:<br />CRC32 |GameID | RedumpID | Name | (PAL vs NTSC vs NTSC-J) | Languages | Version</p><p>Using the datfile available, I can automatically build up a great part of my DB, however there are a few inconveniences:</p><ul><li><p>In that file games are missing their ID (<strong>SLES-XXXX</strong> and such). This is a big deal for me</p></li><li><p>In that file there is no RedumpID (the number in redump.org/disc/<strong>XXXXX</strong>) this is not a big deal, however</p></li><li><p>Also, as a minor inconvenience, the fields &quot;PAL vs NTSC vs NTSC-J&quot;, the Languages list and versions are embedded in the game&#039;s name. I can extract them with a few scripts that separates the parenthesis, matches them to a few patterns and such. It&#039;s possible but it&#039;s a hassle. I can live without this, but if I can download your db where that information would be easy to retrieve, that would be awesome.</p></li></ul><p>So in short, the Game ID is a big deal for me, however there are a few other stuff that would be great to have too, so is there a way to get it?</p><p>While searching in the forum I stumbled upon this thread:<br /><a href="http://forum.redump.org/topic/19889/is-there-a-api-to-check-hash-against-your-database/">http://forum.redump.org/topic/19889/is- … -database/</a><br /></p><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>this is how a game name look in normal file</p><p>Actua Soccer (E) (v1.0) [SLES-00014]</p><p>and this is how it look in no-intro file</p><p>Actua Soccer (Europe) (En,Fr,Es,It,Nl,Sv,Da,Fi) (v1.0)</p></blockquote></div><div class="quotebox"><blockquote><p>Actually what i was thinking is that user download 1 dat from here</p><p><a href="http://redump.org/datfile/psx/">http://redump.org/datfile/psx/</a></p><p>then the second one from here</p><p><a href="http://redump.org/datfile/no-intro/psx/">http://redump.org/datfile/no-intro/psx/</a></p></blockquote></div><p>I could do it with this info if it still was available, however there&#039;s only ONE possible download now, and in fact I&#039;m interested in doing that with PS2 games, not PSX.</p>]]></content>
