Well, I believe the db should have a standalone flag indicating the release for the particular region was dumped, but it shouldn't affect naming, "(Japan, Asia)" is incorrect, sorry.
My last reply:
The whole reason this became an issue for me was that there WAS an ASIA flag on the dump, but it was removed. I pointed this out, and was told that this is not how the rules work any more, and that ALL double-flagged ASIA/JP or ASIA/US etc. dumps were getting their ASIA flags removed (even though this reflects their actual release info and history of what was actually dumped). Loss of important metadata due to edits like these makes any attempts at actually even trying to complete an asian set all the harder.
This, along with renaming games to match their releases on other platforms, even though this is contradictory to the "new rules" that naming should be identical to what's on the disc, regardless of typos, regardless of current or past interpretation of the "new rules", now every dump will have to be inspected IF the goal would be to reverse any of the changes that had been done.
Let's throw out any arguments for or against the hyphens, the clear issue is that edits to the database were performed by one or more individuals to conform to a rule change that may or may not have been intended to have been interpreted that way. regardless, if these edits are considered correct, they love the database less accurate than it started. And that's not what I signed up for, a project that prided itself in capturing a ton of data for every release and making sure it was right at submission time, not changing it all the time so that it "looked better" or was more in key with what "SCENE" was doing. I thought Redump didn't follow scene rules, and was a project that prided itself in having original content.
Signing out.
