Maybe you could post that, I might learn something tongue

Did you mean you have lots of original media or lots of ROMs/ISOs? Redump doesn't accept third party dumps I'm afraid.

I have tested decrypting+extarc the wud of one kiosk disc with the a disc key dumped from another kiosk and it appears to work.
I think more research is required, but if they keys produced from a disc overlap with they keys produced by another disc, I think they should be removed from the database and put somewhere central (the wiki or a thread, for example).

Maybe ryanrocks462 or Crediar can help.

Bumping this. These would be great to have!

Maybe two people could be credited for a single dump.
Or a new "thanks to" field could be added.

So DIC wouldn't provide any extra data like it does for CDs?

The dumping guide for DVD-Video says you should use ISOBuster, but the dumping guide for other DVDs says to use Disc Image Creator, so...?

I do definitely prefer revisions, or "start at v1.00" versions to "v1.20, v1.21" etc, but if the former isn't available, isn't it better to have the latter than have nothing? Unless there is a better way to differentiate them, like edition.

The versions might look silly be because of all the other stuff tacked on tongue

Okay. Well I guess you agree with me about Nintendo discs then.

Could you link to these TOSECISO names and explain what is wrong with them?

What I (in regards to Nintendo discs) and Egen (in regards to PC discs) are saying is that the version should be visible in the name because it is very useful info. The game doesn't necessarily have to have any other version.

I was suggesting that for Nintendo discs, the revision is always displayed.
I don't have any experience with PC discs, so I won't comment on that.

You are correct about No-Intro.

No-Intro mostly covers systems that use revisions, so most of the "versions" do start at "v1.00".

Another reason I want this is because for a long time I assumed that v1.01 was undumped, but in reality it was simply called New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Japan), rather than New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Japan) (v1.01). It was confusing, and others may also be confused by it, especially if they are used to No-Intro's naming and believe the Redump follows the No-Intro naming.

This isn't necessarily something that should apply to non-Nintendo discs, as they often don't (hardly ever?) start at "v1.00", whereas Nintendo discs usually do, and instances like New Super Mario Bros. Wii are an exception.

"(v1.01)" tells me that its not "(v1.02)", which is undumped but does exist. And even if it wasn't confirmed to exist, it still might exist.

Why do I need to tell what the version is? I don't understand the question.

"I don't see the point"
I gave a point in my first post tongue

Suggestion: State the version in the dat name even if there is only one version
E.g. New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Japan) should be New Super Mario Bros. Wii (Japan) (v1.01) even though there is no other version

Currently it is quite confusing. I can't actually tell that it is v1.1 without opening the ISO (e.g. in Dolphin) to check.

This is how No-Intro does it, and doesn't Redump follow No-Intro naming convention? Maybe I misunderstand how strictly Redump follows it though.

Using this tutorial you can play and explore the filesystem of demos on Wii U kiosk update discs.

  • Copy the unreleased special version of DiscU (the author does not want it to be distributed) to the folder containing your .wud and run the following in a windows command line: discu game.key game.wud with game.key and game.wud being replaced if necessary.

  • The files will be extracted from the wud's filesystem

  • Navigate through these folders: [name of extracted wud file without the extension] > ["GM" followed by a title id] > install

  • Enter the folder of the demo software you want to look at.

  • Extract the filesystem from the app files by using cdecrypt. Copy cdecrypt (and any dlls required to be in the same directory as the exe) to the folder containing the .app files. Then in a windows command line run cdecrypt title.tmd title.tik

  • You can now explore the filesystem of the demo and run it in cemu

Oh, I see. To get the size reduction I have to use an archive tool, but this makes it easier for the archive tool to compress the ISO.

When compressing Metroid Prime (Korea), it just gives out a file of the same size, unlike nNASOS.

Are you Voodooween on No-Intro? If so, could you send me a message there or here?
