Hi, I've noticed some errors in dumps I submitted in the past:

http://redump.org/disc/9457/: The write offset must be -22, not +22
http://redump.org/disc/9377/: Should be sorted after "Große", not "Das"
http://redump.org/disc/7438/: Please change the region to Germany (the Play the Games collection was released in Germany only) and the ring code has to be "CINF0001 CD2 Slane Zero" (yes, I'm absolutely sure, I don't know why they made a typo on the original disc...)

That's it for now. I'll report further mistakes with my dumps in this topic in case I find any. Thanks a lot smile

Please sort Der Planer / Der Planer Extra after "Planer", not "Der". Oh, and while you're at it, could anyone please assign this disc to Asia as region? At least it doesn't appear in http://redump.org/discs/system/ps2/region/As/.

Thanks a lot smile (and I hope you don't mind that I posted this in a topic that's already been marked [FIXED]. It just seems so wasteful to open a new topic for such minor issues)

I've changed it to Planer + Der Planer Extra, Der (Germany), a slash means usually "or", a plus is more correct, lol

the other thing with sorting is a case where Dremora's instinct is needed  smile

or do you want a "&" instead of "+" ?

I don't really care. You could even omit "Der Planer Extra" from the title and move that information to the comments, I don't know. On the disc itself it just says "Der Planer", in the readme text files on the disc however it's spelled "DER PLANER & Der Planer Extra". The "&" might be closer to the original. It's really up to you how you want to treat this smile

okay, a plus sign is maybe more useful when there are more than two titles on a disc, i will replace "+" with "&" then smile

i've just solved the same problem with one of my own dumps by adding a "&" between both titles

Why has my last dump been changed from "skate." to "Skate"? The cover clearly says otherwise. If it's - as I assume - because of the non-standard capitalisation, why is for example kill.switch valid while "skate." isnt?

Yes i know its written in small letters and with a dot on the cover
I've checked the official site and they have other titles there as well "Skate 2" and "Skate 3", and are naming the first title "Skate"

p.s. we have said all titles have to begin with a capitalization anyway

Since when does it matter what a game is called on the internet rather than on the cover, on the disc, in the main screen and even in the Xbox dashboard (please excuse the crappy photos, I had to use my cellphone)?

I can understand that you want to begin every game in the DB with a capital letter (but please change kill.switch too then!), but imo the "." has to be there.

One more request:
Please change http://redump.org/disc/10051/ and http://redump.org/disc/10050/ to "MegaRace 2", for the sake of consistency with the other MegaRace entries smile

Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit should be changed to "Need for Speed III: Hot Pursuit".
Marc Ecko`s Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure should be changed to "Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure".
The Vortex: Quantum Gate II (Disc 1), Disc 2 and Disc 3 should probably be sorted under "Vortex", not "The".

Thanks again smile

Some more random findings:
http://redump.org/disc/3790/: The stuff in the comment section seems pretty redundant
http://redump.org/disc/1417/: I just chose this as an example for all the Pokémon games on the GameCube. Shouldn't the title contain only "standard" characters, i.e. be "Pokemon Box: Ruby & Sapphire" with "Pokémon Box: Ruby & Sapphire" being the subtitle? That's how it's being handled here at least, for example.
On a related note, http://redump.org/disc/9358/ is missing the accent over the e (or a subtitle containing the title with an é tongue).
http://redump.org/disc/6381/: I'm sure it has to be "Harley-Davidson Motorcycles: Race to the Rally"

Okay, thanks for fixing. I wonder why you haven't changed the Pokémon/Astérix stuff, though. Where's the difference between "Astérix" and "Pokémon"? Both are the correct titles for the games so they should either both be in the title or both be in the subtitle.

Oh, and it seems as if something went wrong with this dump: http://redump.org/disc/10079/

just open your eyes  wink  *kidding*
http://forum.redump.org/topic/5408/emuload-tank-racer/
he will (?) redump it, i have pm'ed him some time ago  tongue

About Pokémon/Astérix, there is just a problem with japanese titles they have their own spelling and when you write Pokemon in the main title there will be no place to add Pokémon as alt.title.

The search function works for both, so maybe we will have to change them all (later), i just don't see a reason to do it now, anyway thanks for looking  smile

http://redump.org/disc/9525/ has either wrong size or, more likely, is a DVD-9.
Also, either http://redump.org/disc/9712/ or http://redump.org/disc/3736/ should be changed to be consistent with each other.

First one it's a DVD9 and should be re-entered along with Layer Break info
Second one FIXED

Okay, thanks. It's not completely fixed, though, since the second "the" is capitalized in the EU dump but not in the US one. I don't know if "The Roses" is a fixed term so I don't know for sure how it's correct but I believe it has to be "the Roses" in both cases.
