Hi, as stated in the title, I'd like to register so I can contribute a PS2 disc dump data.

The disc in question is "[SLUS-20946]Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (v3.00)" but with an executable date of 2005-07-20 (1 day prior to the date of your 3.00 dump). This dump comes from the digital release of the game for the PS3 under the PS2 Classics line of games.

The dump was made by me, using my own copy of the game. Now, this being a digital release, I'm not sure if you'll accept it or if this is the place for it. The only argument I have in favour of having this dump in here is that when checking my PS2 Classics dump of Bully, the ISO is an exact match with yours, which lead me to believe that the GTA SA dump I have may as well come from a valid "real" disc, but not necessarily a released one.

Just to add more info, here are some of the other differences between the 3.00 release and my 3.00 dump (left: my dump, right: redump checked disc dump):

From what I can tell, the disc image present in the digital release is a pre release build, but of the final game. I checked each of the files inside of both disc images and they are all identical except for a new file present at the root of the disc inside my dump called 'VERSION.TXT' with the following contents:

################################################
# version.txt                                  #
# sets the version number on non-master builds #
################################################

[VERSION_NUMBER]
17

Unfortunately, Redump is a place for only physical disc dumps, not extractions or conversions from digital releases. No-Intro (https://no-intro.org/) may be interested in it, however, if they do not already have it datted in some manner.
