			<description><![CDATA[<div class="quotebox"><cite>zcal wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>So why should we label Street Fighter Zero 3 as such instead of &quot;Street Fighter Zero3&quot;?</p></blockquote></div><p>As all bibliographic database do, we standardize titles. Removing a space between ZERO and 3 is a stylization, which is retained in the foreign title like in this case, or sometimes as an alt title in the comments. Other common standardizations are removing stylized capitalization (ZERO -&gt; Zero, unless it is an acronym) and add punctuation (&#039;BIG TITLE&#039; followed by a &#039;small title&#039; on the next line becomes &#039;Big Title: Small Title&#039;). Generally follow this page for more about capitalization in main titles: <a href="http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Capitalization_Standards">http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … _Standards</a></p><p>As for the Virtual On example, I&#039;m not sure about this case, you&#039;d have to check the title on the disc/case (including spine), and also the in-game title. Often the in-game title screen is prioritized (not always).</p><div class="quotebox"><cite>zcal wrote:</cite><blockquote><p>So how do the structure of these names get decided in the first place?</p></blockquote></div><p>Redump mods have a guide we generally follow, mostly based on existing library standards. But the general idea is to remove &quot;stylization&quot; from the main title and follow proper title case and english rules. Except when the title is not english, in which case we follow romanization rules for each language. The foreign/alt title field is intended to be the title as-is, so you will often see e.g. the main title be &quot;Wipeout&quot; while the alt title is &quot;WipEout&quot;.</p><p>If there&#039;s a specific case you want to point out, make a fix thread with evidence (pics of disc/case/in-game). If it&#039;s just because of stylization, please don&#039;t make a fix thread.</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>I&#039;ve been wondering how names for dumps are decided, especially when they appear to conflict with the name given on the physical media.</p><p>Take Street Fighter Zero 3, for example.&nbsp; I have both the Saturn and PlayStation versions.&nbsp; On the discs themselves and on the case media, there is no space between &quot;Zero&quot; and &quot;3&quot;.&nbsp; In fact, you can even see in the header of the Saturn dump that the game name is listed as STREET FIGHTER ZERO3.</p><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/2494/">http://redump.org/disc/2494/</a></p><p>Contrast this with Street Fighter Zero 2, in which there is an explicit space between &quot;Zero&quot; and &quot;2&quot; on both the case media and in the disc header.</p><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/1459/">http://redump.org/disc/1459/</a></p><p>So why should we label Street Fighter Zero 3 as such instead of &quot;Street Fighter Zero3&quot;?</p><br /><p>Another such case would be Virtual On: Cyber Troopers.&nbsp; Both the case media and header hyphenate Virtual-On, yet in both the Japanese and North American database entries for the Saturn versions of the game, it&#039;s listed as &quot;Virtual On&quot;.&nbsp; The weird placement of &quot;Cyber Troopers&quot; on the disc and case media also makes it unclear whether this should precede the &quot;Virtual-On&quot; part of the title.</p><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/20396/">http://redump.org/disc/20396/</a><br /><a href="http://redump.org/disc/1625/">http://redump.org/disc/1625/</a></p><p>And to further this inconsistency, the followup game on the Dreamcast <em>is</em> listed as &quot;Virtual-On&quot;, following both the case media, disc media, and header.</p><p><a href="http://redump.org/disc/5915/">http://redump.org/disc/5915/</a></p><br /><p>So how do the structure of these names get decided in the first place?&nbsp; Is there any way for a pedantic guy like me to argue for changes to these names?</p>]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[<p>Thank you for the tool and thank you all for the workaround(s), to get it to work in 2026 <img src="http://forum.redump.org/img/smilies/smile.png" width="15" height="15" alt="smile" /></p><p>A note to the next poor soul trying to convert a modern .cue Redump ROM to a TOSEC one:<br />You need to use the .gdi files provided in the download section on the main page AND you need to make sure, that there is no .cue file in the source directory.</p><p>Otherwise the tool will just say &quot;Complete&quot; without doing anything - the .cue file seems to stop all operations, so it has to be removed beforehand.</p><p>This so far is the only application, that realy produces a matching TOSEC dump, from a redump set.<br />The other usual tools suggested online (like gdidrop, gdi-utils, etc.) don&#039;t produce TOSEC compatible ROMs.</p><p>I got a hint, that NKit is also able to do this conversion, I&#039;ll test it out and let you guys know here.<br />It seems to be a good candidate to make a mass conversion - the tool in this thread can only make one conversion at a time.</p>]]></description>
