Still hoping that someday the regions will be in the datfile (as system) so I won't have to edit it every time.
Also wondering if people are interested in seperating the datfile per region, so if you are and you like this datfile, then let me know.
If enough people are interested I will continue to update the datfile.

Here is the datfile for PSX games US only.

This is why it may be easy to add the regions in the system part of the dat file. Since the dat file is generated automatically this shouldn't be difficult. This way you can select any region (system) and still remain with 1 dat file. Editing the datfile by hand would be way to much work, especially with a new datfile comming out just about every day...

Is there a way to split the datfile in 3 sections, US EU and J?
Or is it maybe possible you add these regions as systems in the dat so we can do it ourselves is clrmamepro?

I enlarged the file to the required size.
Then fixed it with psxt001z

psxt001z by Dremora, v0.20 beta 13 "LibCrypt"

File: 1.bin
Size (bytes):   729736224 (OK)
Size (sectors): 310262 (OK)
EDC in Form 2 sectors: YES
System area: US EDC

Checking data...
Sector 310261: Sync (fixed), Header (fixed)

Subheaders count:
00 00 08 00: 31248
00 00 09 00: 1
00 00 20 00: 151
00 00 89 00: 11
      Other: 278851

Form 1 sectors: 190544
Form 2 sectors: 119718
"Bad" headers: 0

Checking postgap...
Postgap type: Form 2

Sector 310259: Form 2 Subheader (fixed), Form 2 EDC (fixed)
Sector 310260: Form 2 Subheader (fixed), Form 2 EDC (fixed)
Sector 310261: Form 2 Subheader (fixed), Form 2 EDC (fixed)

Still the file is not recognizen as a correct dump....

When using --fix in psxt001z the error is not fixed. So how can I do it?

Enlarging the file only added empty bytes at the end. I found an image that is correct and compared it to one that was missing 2352 bytes.
The bytes were missing at the end.

This is what they contained

The oi is the part that 'counts up'. Should be possible to make an auto fix for these kind of errors no?

I scanned the images with cdmage and they all check out fine.

With psxt001z I get the following

File: nfs r+t.bin
Size (bytes):   640141488
From image:     640143840
Size (sectors): 272169
From image:     272170
EDC in Form 2 sectors: NO
ID: SLUS-00204
Date: 1996-02-15
System area: US NoEDC

Strangely enough it says filesize 640141488 (which is the actual size)
But at "From Image" it says 640143840 (wich is the correct dump size)

Any suggestions?

I have several images downloaded from the internet that are 2352 bytes to small. I tried enlarging them to the required size, but still they are not correct. Anyone here that know how to fix these images?
