			<description><![CDATA[<p>Hi. Discovered this site properly (may have been on before, but didn&#039;t understand its purpose) whilst trying to get my CD image working for the European copy of MediEvil 2 on DuckStation. I noticed, after burning my copy of Castlevania: Symphony of the Night, that the hash key doesn&#039;t match. I think the reason being is because my PAL version is from the Collector&#039;s Edition, which doesn&#039;t appear to have been added. Hopefully it&#039;s an easy process, but I wanted to sign up to add my copy.</p>]]></description>
