Redump DATs are rolling release.. finding a specific DAT file is just luck. You can of course just edit the DAT file to exclude any entries with an added date after the date you are looking for.

Is there source for the new tool you've just linked?

Even if it doesn't look like it's doing anything while it scans for values of 3C, it's working
It would be nice to get an update as to where it's up to in the list of commands (even just "No sectors returned from 3C 08 __", i.e. a message every time a whole chunk of 256 commands were checked with nothing returned), so I can tell that *some* progress is happening and it isn't some hardware issue causing it to freeze.

Re: Why is this marked as Rev 1? (13 replies, posted in General discussion)
I can confirm that PlayStation games in Asia, bought new in-person sealed retail from a reputable store, can have "SAMPLE * LOANED" stamped on the disc despite all packaging and labels looking identical to normal retail copies. I can only assume that this is because they are selling excess first-print discs originally meant as promos/samples for reviewers/testers/stores/etc. That, by definition, makes them the "original" revision of a retail game.

Re: I bought 5 copies of Mario Party 8 Japanese (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
The ringcodes are useful, thanks!
It's safe to say that if Rev 0/1 were released to retail, they were manufactured before 2007-07-16 and likely released in limited quantities. Still can't rule it out, and there's also the chance that they still exist as preprod discs but didn't sell at retail

Re: I bought 5 copies of Mario Party 8 Japanese (6 replies, posted in General discussion)
This is some good analysis. Based on the manufacturing date and lotcheck, it certainly is possible that there were no retail releases of Rev 0/1, or that they were released to retail in very limited numbers.
From a quick look on online at a handful of pics with visible ringcodes, I also only found Rev 2. I have in the past looked at ringcodes when purchasing in-person, which may be the way forward when searching for these in order to prevent owning the biggest Mario Kart 8 collection

Is the order of serials untouched in these files? I wonder if we can deduce some information based on the serials initial ordering e.g. if these were grouped based on some criteria in the firmware.
Sorry, the forum is bad at letting me know when there are replies.
The orders should be untouched yes, I just used the strings/grep commands and piped them out into a text file, so they're in byte order.

I've trawled through all known PS2 BIOS's and found a total of 784 mentioned serials, approximately 567 of which are PS1 and the remainder PS2. A few of the serials are not dumped and have unknown titles.

Some interesting finds by searching through the Sony Bravia TV BIOS (PAL and NTSC-J have the same set of serials)
Overall there are 241 serials mentioned, and most of them are PS2 serials (maybe the bravia edition had comaptibility issues..?)
Two undumped and un-wiki'd serials: SLPM-60222 and SLPM-60223 (Exciting Pro Wres 5 Taikenban: https://muuseo.com/veru/items/178
One undumped serial that is listed on pcsx2 wiki as possibly cancelled: SLPS-20390 https://wiki.pcsx2.net/Hissatsu_Pachinko_Station_V9
