I dumped my second copy of Suikogaiden, EVERY info matches with the other dump save for the internal ring code

1st copy inner ring serial: IFPI 455C (re-checked)

2nd (the one I dumped this morning) copy inner serial: IFPI 4570


Furthermore I checked the factory write offset for both copies with the D8 command with both my Plextor drives (single track disc): +1

Please update the dump info!
1 question: if one dumper dumps 2 copies of the same game the dot in the DB entry is green even with 1 dumper name?

Info updated. Yes the dump is green if the dumps come from 2 or more different physical discs.

IFPI serials arent' needed, AFAIK they're simply production numbers (not revision info), so they're different for every single disc. I don't know if PSX games have any meaningful ring serials, I only found this IFPI serials on my few PSX discs. If you find any non-IFPI code, please add it.

Anyway, ring info for PceCD, Saturn e MegaCD is important! Only PSX isn't.

Understood! Every PSX disc I have has only the IFPI serial, nothing more on the ring!
So from now on, I'll stop checking them!
As a side effect, many of my recent PSX dumps have the IFPI serial in the "inner ring serial" info. I think they should be deleted then!

Yes I will delete these IFPIs.

But check the rings anyway, if you find only the usual IFPI then you can skip it.
