Hello, thanks for your submission!

This is a verification of http://redump.org/disc/5199/
as the hashes match the entry, even if barcode etc is different.
I've moved the thread to the appropriate section.

Do you have a scanner? Sometimes I find scanning the disc and then zooming in helps with readability

It may be a good idea to put this info on the wiki rather than a forum thread.
If you don't have an account already, you can request one from Sadikyo

Be aware there's a 2MB(?) limit on file uploads, if it exceeds that it won't upload.
In those cases you'll either need to create split zips or upload to an external host (mega.nz, google drive, archive.org etc)

1: We look at the disc and packaging as a whole.

2: The distinction between US - Canada - and USA, Canada region discs is tenuous at best, we don't have clear definitions for those, *especially* for PC. I cannot give you a flat answer without looking at each item individually.

3: Edness is correct here, leave a comment.

4: Edness is correct here, use <tab>, though 3 spaces is also acceptable.

NUON should be in edition as there are NUON and non-NUON releases of these movies.
I'd suggest Widescreen (NUON-Enhanced) or similar.

This is a reminder post that Discord is changing how file linking works.

Discord external links will expire 24 hours from creation starting before the end of this year (2023).

Please do not link to logs or embed images or anything else using Discord external links.

It is possible to still use Discord links if you *archive* them through the Wayback Machine first, and then use the WM link.

File hosting alternatives include:

  • Archive.org

  • Dropbox

  • Mega

  • Google Drive

  • or any other host that does not expire files

If you're looking for specific information in those dats, it's better to just ask outright what you're looking for.

I hate that the PM notification is so easy to miss, glad everything worked out at least.

If you have questions about the new dumps form submission process feel free to ask here. Or if you want a more direct line of communication with the community, you can join the VGPC Discord linked on the Redump Wiki.

Unfortunately, Redump is a place for only physical disc dumps, not extractions or conversions from digital releases. No-Intro (https://no-intro.org/) may be interested in it, however, if they do not already have it datted in some manner.

Redump has a general stance of recording stuff verbatim, as they are on the disc/packaging.

You can download all barcodes here: http://www.redump.org/barcodes
And then filter out all spaces, dashes, and other extra characters.

we cannot, that's something only the site admin (iRobot) can do, who is MIA.

Yes they're eligible and plenty are already in the database.

Another similar case, the promo likely has a retail release which hasn't been dumped yet.

No, it's not possible.
Staff don't have access of that level to the site and the dats.
Only iRobot would be able to do that and he only appears once a year if that.

The date used may have to vary by system, as some systems don't have an easily identifiable executable, and some systems don't have a PVD. The date on labels can be wildly off from the actual content date as well.

Right now the system is to put the earliest known Beta as (Beta 1) and later ones as (Beta 2) (Beta 3) etc in chronological order.

In my opinion, I would keep the Beta numbering but add an additional tag at the end for date, similar to the (Rerelease) (19990101) system used for IBM PC (We do not use dashes here).

Just grab the latest firmware from the links here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … patibility

Edit: And yes, you can use a USB adapter fine, just make sure it has external power.

Staff has requested the site owner to do this many times to no avail.

Yeah that's what spurred this change, I suggested putting iKTV stuff in the TKS dat, but Fireball wasn't keen on that and said to just use the iKTV dat.

It's either this or Kiss-Site and iKTV get removed entirely, and put into the VCD dat with (Kiss-Site) and (iKTV) added to the end. Which I consider much worse than what we have now.

We cannot create new dats, it's important to emphasize that and remind people of our lack of power on the site because of our incompetent site admin.

My personal opinion on the matter:
Yes, Karaoke should be datted by Redump. It's a bit of a grey area but if we don't dat it, it'll likely be lost.
I feel iKTV and Kiss-Site should remain separate as they're dedicated discs for specific systems (Even if they're playable on other devices).
Karaoke should be a category in my opinion, like Games, Video, Add-Ons, etc.

Please don't take the above as permission to submit bulk fixes for languages in comments, we're overwhelmed as it is and my computer is out of commission at the moment so I can't easily process stuff.

If we manage to clean out verifications, then maybe we can start focusing on less important stuff. Feel free to submit the regional dialects in the comments of new dumps/verifications in the meantime however.

Multisession requires one of the 7xx model plextors listed on the drive compatibility list.
