I recently got a lot of playstation games and some are second copies of games I've already added to the db. Should I post verification dumps of these? On the one hand this will eliminate the chance of read errors, on the other the other two sources of errors (me and my drives) are the same.

Normally the dumps are verified "good" when dump information is provided by two different dumpers. This is probably the best method in discovering different release versions of the same game and/or correcting database submission errors. This should also prevent the user errors. Just on a small note - data read errors will usually always produce a different track checksum with each bad dump you make - this is why we dump the track twice before submitting to rule this out.

However, feel free to redump any titles; and if you notice any errors or ammendments that need to be made to the database entry just submit your findings on the forum. wink

Thanks, makes sense. I'll check 'em and report any differences.
