PSX miss list

yes sir i agree. that is pretty much consensus when you are dealing with thousands of titles. but these lists should help anyone who needs a reference when going to the game store.

it must have been a lot of work, so props for that
but it isn't a good idea generally, imho

first of all redumps aren't any less welcome than new entries
secondly as mentioned, it's subset from an incomplete list by itself
finally - serials, what i see as a huge problem with redump.org

it doesn't explain further than that, but basically you'd get Japanese list different from the rest -
it would have all multiple releases listed when Europe and USA would not,
they'd list only single entry for each title (with a few exceptions), right?
this is a huge diversity.
it means re-release for Europe, USA = original, when it's dumped - you remove original from the list
but for Japan you'd remove only this exact re-release

serials currently are messed up on redump.org (imho)
you'd get serials from exe name (mastering artifact) on the same level as Sony's assigned
so when you find serial in db, it desn't really mean - game with such assigned serial
(which your list is based upon) have been dumped

so, to have consistency, imho, it would be far better then to have an list with Title -> Edition relation,
or solely Titles - getting rid of serials at all, if you'd need one,
but i do not see such necessity at all

when building the lists me and AK-47 (who put together PAL and NTSC-US) sets went through the database and removed every serial from the list that is present on the database including entries that list multple serials (because the data is the same).

@themabus, i believe the PAL and NTSC-U lists are serial specific as well, a different user made them but i'm under the impression he did them based on serials.

this list is obviously more geared to collectors who are trying to hunt down games to complete the redump set for the purposes of a full, verified set.

many of the reprint games with diff serials will have the same data/version #, but this way we can make sure we have at least one of every serial in case they are different versions.

definitely not perfect lists, we knew these obstacles when we started making them.

@themabus: when the number of titles shrink on the list i hope to do a better list with more details. but right now thats not an option.

i see what you mean and it is a good point. since people collect based on serial number however i think this is a good start. also it would take a lot of research to track down how many editions each title has then take just as much time to add that info. we are talking about what? 5000+ titles? lol
