Can things without redump or ring info be in database? (Page 1 of 2)

Those would be appropriate for the wiki lists

I don't know who you'd have to bug to get them added though...

Do you mean those many group release dumps?

I am assuming you do mean it, right?
The answer would be a NO!

Dumps without any ring info whatsoever makes up about 90% of the PlayStation 1 list due to the dark CD backs (you need a flashlight to be able to read them).

I gather redump doesn't subscribe to the "bad dump is better than no dump" line of thinking?

No dump is better than bad or fake dump.

There is no reasoning of any kind for the other that makes sense for preservation.

Isn't that a card for NintendoDS ?

If someone cannot get hold of the real disc, then no.

No-Intro is not about preservation, they are about wares. When it comes to scene releases they mutilate them, so again no preservation there.

Yes it is, because you can be sure of a good dump, and the 2nd good dump will be the same and the third and fourth.

And no, were not just listing "good dumps" we go that step further, we get the original follow the dumping guides and produce hopefully a good dump, the only time we even get to find out when we have a dump in the db that is bad is when someone comes along with the same disc dumps it expecting to find a certain value for the dump, and comes across something different, then the moderators set about finding out which dump is bad (if any) or whether their is actually an (Alt) version that is also a good dump.

No probs

We don't like being anything other than nice to newbies, but if you want to rattle are cages asking for scene release intergration, because some rare Zelda game, we haven't dumped, is only available in scene format, that's no worries, to most normal people, as we know one day it will come along, and the quickest way for it to come along is for someone who is madly in love with the E3 Zelda Demo, seriously, is to go out and buy it, to dump for redump, of course.

Having a change of faith, to our whole religion, over 1 silly demo, never in a zillion Zelda years.

In other words it would be easier to buy the rare demo that you desire and dump it properly for redump, rather than even mention scene releases, and what we should do, its what you should do, buy and dump the games you think should be @ redump, not the other way around.

I personally have no interest in Zelda, but if it fell into my lap I would dump it anyway, what I like is shoot-em-ups, and their are loads redump need dumping, but I wouldn't want to see redump add scene releases because I know 9/10 cats hate them, so rather than ask for scene dumps, I would prefer to go and buy the games and do it the proper way. Even if it is harder to do that, due to $$$, that is the proper way.

Your best bet is to make lists of games you would like to see dumped and hope someone thinks the same way as you, and then goes out and buys what is on your list to have them added to redump. I would see no one complaining over that approach.

Sorry if I sound blunt and to the point, but that's the way it is.

Sound case closed, no hard feelings, its hard to answer some ones difficult question, not to upset them at the same time, and still make your self as clear as can be, I hope we have done this, just made it clear why we don't want scene stuff adding. As I said, no hard feeling, just trying to answer your difficult question, without it taking forever.

I'm trying to dump my Wii Sports (Europe) (v1.01) disc with CleanRip, but I have come across some problems. This is what I did:

• Load cleanrip

• Try to use USB, but it doesn't detect it

• Use two SD cards instead. But it doesn't create a log and only creates four chunks.

is this normal? What should I do?
