The other DB dumps use O-chan, and it can go either way, so I went for consistency.
I couldn't find it officially written as Ohchan, except in this saturn header.
We don't use those for naming either.

Thanks for the image! I'd say that's enough proof for Oh-chan. I'll update the titles now.
Thanks ![]()

We (and No-Intro) use modified Hepburn system, but we replace the symbols with macrons, like ō, to "ou" so they could be used as filenames. お is "o" in hiragana, "ー" indicates a long vowel, proper modified Hepburn writing would be "Ō-chan", but we convert it to Ou-chan due to reasons stated above. Google translate shows "O ̄", though, (but proper "Ō" for オー), I don't know the difference, most likely just a way to distinct katakana and hiragana romanizations.

The only possible exception for now is http://redump.org/disc/33327/ since the main title itself is in romanized form - http://media2.vgarchive.org/boxart/12660-500m.jpg

redump.org db is mixed traditional Hepburn and modified Hepburn.(not 'he' but 'e') (not 'wo' but 'o')
example

By the way...

be mixed obsolete romanization (not 'dzu' but 'zu')
example
http://redump.org/disc/26468/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hepburn_ro … consonants
be mixed that spelling is wrong (not 'ch' but 'tch')

Yes, I know, these all should be fixed. axisleon often submits incorrect romanizations, btw.
PSX and PS2 jap names are in poor state, they are full of obvious errors. http://redump.org/disc/7926/ or http://redump.org/disc/23841/ -- Pro Wres/Prowres, but there's no "wrestling" (レスリング). Or http://redump.org/disc/15169/ -- there's no "Sono", how could it appear at all? I don't know, maybe axisleon does.

Yes, I know about "dzu", the problem is that even Google Translate says "dzu", I guess many submitters just copy-paste from there. Even No-Intro's Sega PICO dat has 1 "dzu" by mistake. Also should be fixed.

Not "cch", but "tch" you mean. Agree, also should be fixed. http://www.nintendoage.com/index.cfm?Fu … gID=102780 -- Pinotchia like here, not Pinocchia like http://redump.org/disc/5911/ , etc.

Me too.. Because I haven't ever known that redump.org has adopted modified Hepburn. And I haven't ever known romanizations in detail...
the problem is that even Google Translate says "dzu", I guess many submitters just copy-paste from there. Even No-Intro's Sega PICO dat has 1 "dzu" by mistake.
Hmmm... I see.
Not "cch", but "tch" you mean.
oops, you are right.
Accordingly, I think it is necessary for admin or moderator to inform about romanizations to submitter.
