Here's a list of software updates Redump.org is in need of:

  • Implement https/ssl

  • Update Wiki software

  • Document XML input fields for DICUI / Implement XML upload to avoid unnecessary filling out of field information to reduce human error.

I agree with user7/dizzzy's suggestions.

Also, I want a (USA, Australia) region added. There are NUMEROUS Maxis PC games that were dumped in the USA and Australia that are incorrectly listed as "World". This is completely unacceptable. I have a USA copy of Marble Drop that matches, http://redump.org/disc/6064/, and I deliberately haven't posted a verification for it because you guys would change it to "World".

Implementing https is so easy. Just put the site behind Cloudflare and turn it on. It's free and provides a lot of other benefits.

Additionally: ringcodes that do not contain SID codes are not necessarily bad (if the disc itself does not have the codes on it, which a few do not), so should not automatically have yellow status.

+1!

I have another suggestion: Is it possible extend the "My Dumps" page to allow downloading a .dat file that only contains the user's owned discs/dumps?

I'm a bit late to this party (*waves n00b flag*) but I wholeheartedly second this suggestion. Plain HTTP is super easy to sniff, either while it transits the internet or when a user is sharing an unencrypted network (e.g. coffee shop wifi).

Having your traffic sniffed is not such a big deal if all they got was the site content (oh no, somebody might be able to see the forum posts!), but a malicious person sniffing the traffic can get the PHP session keys (allowing them to masquerade as a user) or even user passwords if the attacker gets a chance to eavesdrop on the login activity.


This might a known issue that's being worked on and if so, sorry for blabbing on about it lol. Just wanted to give my $0.02 on the matter. Cloudflare and/or Let's Encrypt make setting up SSL much simpler than it used to be smile

Add "Press Kit" to Common editions/releases checkbox for PC. No point in me having to type it out for the thousandth time.

"Sega Titan Video" should be removed as it's just cartridges from what I can find.

"Tao iKTV" is just VCD and should be removed from the list too.

I added those systems on request from F1ReB4LL, I guess he had some example discs when he made a request.

Sport Fishing 2 is on CD (CHD in MAME).
Some sources say the same about Sports Fishing, others claim that it was on LD.

Does seem like some of these features, like SSL, have been missing for a long time. I'm a software engineer/web dev kinda guy. I know I'm new here but I'd be willing to help out with implementing some of these things.

The site admin has been ignoring all user/staff requests, it won't happen.

Damn, that's a shame. Also somewhat worrying, a database like this being under the control of a person who isn't communicating.

Yeah, it's definitely a frustrating experience for everyone, but we're doing the best we can given the current situation. And the data is being backed up by multiple people regularly just in case, so that's not an issue.

wonder why is not yet possible to download PS1 Libcrypt LSD package instead of SBI. I think that could be easily implemented feature for the redump community.
