1: when I log in and select the dump I want to view, I've notice red x mark beside on the every dump name, why is that ?
2: why can't I see the other dump section like PSP, Wii ?
Thanks guy!

1) X and Checkmarks are basically just personal checklists. if you click the X it turns into a check mark. its a good way for users to track what dumps are in their collection (even if they didn't submit a dump or verify).
2) When you submit enough properly dumped game infos you'll get "Dumper" status and can see the newer systems.
Is there other way to become dumper ?
Not really, its called that for a reason.
You don't need to submit new dumps, or even that many - you can just submit a few verifications.
Sorry guys, but what is verifications ?

When a game is dumped and added to Redump, it's only been from a single disc so it's unconfirmed that the dump is 100% correct (though errors are highly unlikely, it is possible). Verifications verify a dump. When e.g. 5 people (who dumped from 5 different discs) get the same dump results, it's of course much more unlikely that the dump contains an error then when it's only from a single person/disc.
Plus, verifications often add more (meta)data about the disc. For example another barcode, another serial, or maybe another edition of the game that matches an existing entry.
