Goodness gracious, how cryptic. Not only is it historical usage, it's only for certain words. Jeez.

Thank you. When the whole internet has that same spelling, I knew I had to be missing something, I just couldn't see what it was. So when I said it's certainly not the  'u' in omou, I guess that's where I was wrong

Cool, and I'll list everything. We could certainly include voice-over information in the comments field if nothing else. So something like this?

BIOS Language support:
  English
  checked: English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, Portuguese

In-game Language option: Yes
  English, French, German, Italian, Spanish

In-game Voice option: Yes

Okay... so BIOS would be if the game supports a change of language through the BIOS setting, options menu text/speech would be if you can change those things via an options menu... what would be "selector" and "options menu main"?

Yokokuban translates as "preliminary version."

This website can be a valuable tool when it comes to getting Japanese text.

It has a pretty high accuracy, but sometimes it fails to understand a picture at all. Plugging that picture in, I got 98% accuracy, it only messed up the モ character, which is easy to get from

I also find it a little bit funny that we go through all this trouble to write stuff like serial numbers and ring codes "exactly as they appear" but then don't do this for titles

Nice additions GreyFox! Looks like you pretty much targeted CD-ROM games. I'm looking forward to when at least one version of every PS2 USA game has been dumped. I'll have to stop buying so many NTSC-J games at some point and pick up some of the last remaining few.

Of course I'm kind of new here so I don't expect to be given any special privileges so early, but I'm always available to help with PS2 if the staff wants it.

Here's a bit more missing Limited Edition info. I only searched my SLUS list for the word edition; I searched no SCUS numbers or games lists, so I'd imagine I'm leaving some out, but it's still a bit more.

Marc Ecko's Getting Up: Contents Under Pressure
- We have the "Making of" DVD that comes with the Limited Edition, but the game dump is only marked Original.
- The Limited Edition has a different serial number, SLUS 21294 vs. SLUS 21032.
EDIT: Dumped in a verification post somewhere and matches the original version according to GreyFox.

Tony Hawk's American Wasteland
- We have the Greatest Hits version, which mentions that the EXE serial is SLUS_212.95, which is the same as the Collector's Edition.
- The Collector's Edition does indeed have a different serial number, SLUS 21295 vs. SLUS 21208.
EDIT: Dumped in a verification post somewhere and matches the original version according to GreyFox.

The Sopranos: Road to Respect
- No mention of the Limited Edition is on the database.
- The Limited Edition has a different serial number, SLUS 21549 vs. SLUS 21388.

So, shrugface. It's something

Excellent, glad to know the PS2 USA list is coming closer to completion! These are the games GameFAQs lists in their USA list but are not really USA releases:

Aliens in the Attic
FIFA Soccer 13
Garfield: A Tale of Two Kitties
Gene Troopers
In the Groove 2
Jelly Belly: Ballistic Beans
M&M's Adventure
Robot Wars: Arenas of Destruction
World Racing 2
Worms Blast
Yamaha Supercross

I hope I didn't miss one. It feels kind of like I did since I had been deleting them previously without listing them, then made the list later, but I think I went back over well so hopefully I didn't miss any. As for games without an original dump, they are: (UPDATED AS OF 2017-09-10)

ATV Offroad Fury 3 [SCUS 97405]
Buzz! The Hollywood Quiz [SCUS 97633]
Buzz! The Mega Quiz [SCUS 97601]
Disney/Pixar Cars [SLUS 21151]
Freekstyle [SLUS 20367]
Hitman: Blood Money [SLUS 21108]
Hitman: Contracts [SLUS 20882]
Jaws Unleashed [SLUS 21062]
KOF: Maximum Impact [SLUS 20923]
LEGO Batman: The Videogame [SLUS 21785]
Metal Gear Solid 3: Subsistence [SLUS 21243]

Over the Hedge [SLUS 21300]
Pac-Man World 3 [SLUS 21219]
Scarface: The World Is Yours [SLUS 21111]
Shadow the Hedgehog [SLUS 21261]
Shin Megami Tensei Devil Summoner 2: Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon [SLUS 21845]
Shrek 2 [SLUS 20745] (claims to have an original dump, but only has a Greatest Hits serial number?)
Sonic Heroes [SLUS 20718]
Spy Hunter [SLUS 20056]
The Sims 2 [SLUS 21265]
Tony Hawk's Underground [SLUS 20731]
Toy Story 3 [SLUS 21931]
WWF SmackDown! Just Bring It [SLUS 20316]

- Some of these can probably be ignored, like Buzz! which aren't "original" version dumps because they are the "controller bundle" version dumps which are very rarely any different (actually I can't remember one that was ever different).

- Some of these come from limited editions, which occasionally contain additional content not found in the originals. I don't know if that's the case for any of the games mentioned here.

- Pac-Man World 3 is marked "original" but the serial number has P3 at the end which indicates it's part of the Pac-Man Power Pack. The Crash Bandicoot Action Pack shared this exact same behavior with serial numbers. The dumper probably bought a copy of Pac-Man World 3 that someone was selling separately even though it had originally come in the Power Pack, so it looked like an original release.

This list naturally excludes the 4 games which only have Greatest Hits releases:

Devil May Cry 3: Dante's Awakening - Special Edition [SLUS 21361GH]
Midnight Club 3: DUB Edition Remix [SLUS 21355GH]
Namco Museum 50th Anniversary [SLUS 20273GH]
Virtua Fighter 4: Evolution [SLUS 20616GH]

As well as the version of Silent Hill 2 sometimes referred to as "Director's Cut", which is really just a Greatest Hits release of the game that includes added content. So if you see these games and notice that we only have Greatest Hits releases dumped, that's why

Ah man, don't even remind me of the scanner thing, I bought a $270 scanner and the carriage stopped re-adjusting correctly within the first 5 scans. Returned it and bought a $90 scanner and holy crap, those were the worst scans I had ever seen. My problem is that I just can't find a quality Contact Image Sensor scanner. Charge-Coupled Device? Sure, but then enjoy having rainbow crap all over your disc scans. CCD can't scan that surface for beans, but any CIS scanner I buy is cursed. I'll try another scanner later on and I will get some scans up though (at least that's my hope).

In the meantime, I'm going to submit some verifications for discs like I was asked. I'm going to submit some with different edition, but the same hashes, so it's not a new entry but you can add the "Original" edition to the entry when I'm done

Well that's a shame, they'll never be complete/reliable that way. This looks like when the hyphen was added to every serial number, and now we have several thousand serial numbers to correct over time because we decided to do it that way for so long. And the longer it takes to add NULL information to ring codes, the more incomplete data that piles up... but maybe you won't decide to add that information at all.

I don't mean to impose, it just seems a shame to purposely exclude data. NULL isn't the absence of data, it's quite the opposite.

EDIT: Respectfully, this also makes the script that determines whether or not a ring code field is "incomplete or improperly formed" not only completely useless, but actually detrimental, because it will report this for ring code fields that are both complete and properly formed since, as acknowledged in another thread, the script behaves this way when there certain fields are absent of any data. If you had this NULL data, you would be filling those fields in properly and then the script, as well as anyone looking at the entry, would know that certain fields were not simply missed. But without doing this, the script is actually giving faulty reports about the reliability of data and so it is actually what is unreliable.

Oh, okay. I asked if I should add the null spots and the answer was that I should just leave them alone so I'm a bit confused now. But anyway, I included them in my recent dumps. Would somebody be kind enough to mark the missing spots in my Evergrace and Sorcerous Stabber Orphen dumps as NULL? It's everything else: toolstamp and all IFPI (SID) codes.
