Why not do so with the disc number?
Some discs do:
http://redump.org/disc/109304/
...
http://redump.org/disc/109315/
---
But some do not:
http://redump.org/disc/115000/
...
http://redump.org/disc/115009/
It may be how they are printed on-disc. I think it is currently inconsistent.
See also: http://redump.org/disc/78652/ which has (Disc X), due to Roman Numerals.
(Track 01) occurs for games with 10 or more tracks, to ensure they will be ordered correctly.
For games with fewer than 10 tracks, there is no need for the leading zero.
Thanks. No iPhone but several old phones lying around - will have to keep trying.
I recommend using OpenCamera app in Android for this purpose: https://play.google.com/store/apps/deta … &gl=US
If you have an iphone (or other phone with a sufficiently powerful flash/camera), use an app that allows for taking video with the flash on. At the right angle, you can see the ringcodes like in the image attached. It can take a bit of trial-and-error to get the exact angle, but I've found it to be the easiest way.
Submit disc 1 and 2 as verifications, and disc 3 as a new disc.
It sounds like you have a Wii with homebrew. CleanRip is safe to use, it is used by many people here.
CleanRip provides more reliable DVD reading than "dvd dumper" and outputs a log file. That way we can be sure the hashes are correct.
You can get cleanrip here:
https://github.com/emukidid/cleanrip/releases/tag/2.2.0
If you'd like to contribute, the easiest way is to please make an account on the forum then dump the disc with CleanRip on a Wii and post the CleanRip dumpinfo.txt and .bca files to the forum. You will also need to post the ringcodes on the back of the disc, more info is here: http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … ii_Console
If you have any questions about the process, just let us know.
1. Region is defined as the place the game was sold/marketed for/available in, not the regional restrictions of a console (e.g. PSX). Some PSX PAL discs were only sold in specific regions (e.g. Sweden, France as you've said), and did not receive Europe-wide releases, so are listed on redump by the more specific region identifier. An example would be http://redump.org/disc/6858/ which is the European release but only had English language available. http://redump.org/disc/18697/ is the French release with only French language, so is labelled as France in redump. Another example: There are a few Korea-region PSX discs that run on NTSC-J consoles that were only sold in Korea: http://redump.org/discs/system/psx/region/K
2. EXE date is the file date for the executable file on the disc, not exactly the disc the CD was printed but it gives some indication. The PVD date is another indicator as to which disc is "newer". Where revisions are clear, redump labels them as you've mentioned. In the case of Armored Core (USA), the EXE date is identical and the Reprint's PVD date is not valid, it is not a clear revision. Reprint is labelled as "EDC: Yes" which is my guess as to the difference between the disc dumps, it is likely the actual game content is the same, however I am not 100% sure on this. So for these alt/rerelease/reprint versions, so it is up to you.
3. You can view a single category in redump with http://redump.org/discs/system/psx/category/Games or you can filter the redump PSX dat by category using your dat tool of choice.
For the purposes of verifying your own dumps, if you get the same hash as redump on any drive, you can be confident the dump is good. For redump, only the drives listed on the wiki are acceptable. All other drives have a variety of feature support, and redump does not recommend anything in particular.
Interesting!
You also mentioned on github that IRDs were "useful for decrypting ISOs after they have been dumped on a PC blu-ray drive". I didn't know that, actually so far I only used the key directly with the old command-line tool PS3Dec.
So do you plan on adding ISO decryption functionality to IRDKit ?
I made that comment in reference to RPCS3's mention of IRD files here: https://rpcs3.net/quickstart
But, it shouldn't be too difficult to add decryption to the tool, perhaps in the next version!
I've released a toolkit for creating PS3 IRD files, and other features.
https://github.com/Deterous/LibIRD/releases/
It is command-line only and requires .NET 8 installed.
A UI for this will be added within MPF eventually
Creating an IRD (with different options for providing keys):
irdkit create game.iso
irdkit create game.iso -k A125B2FF16B9B18D5C18B5630B501643
irdkit create game.iso -f game.key
irdkit create game.iso -l game.getkey.logIRDKit can also print info about IRDs (all fields) and ISOs (PS3_DISC.SFB and PARAM.SFO)
irdkit info game.iso
irdkit info game.irdIRDKit can also provide a comparison between two similar IRDs, showing the difference between the two:
irdkit diff game1.ird game2.irdImprovements over 3k3y ISOTools, Redump2IRD, and ManaGunZ:
Only requires a redump ISO. Does not require Disc Key/Disc ID/PIC. Pulls key from redump.org and generates ID/PIC.
Correctly hashes non-contiguous files
Produces reproducible IRDs, 1:1 correspondence with redump ISOs
Much faster for large ISOs, ISOs with many files
Create IRDs for an entire PS3 ISO set in one command
Sorry, I shortened the printed serial, it does have -STD. Here's the links (can't be viewed without logging in).
BCUS-98195 (BVSS-032970A1): http://redump.org/disc/48706/
BCUS-98182-MGS, BCUS-98182-STD (BVSS-020710A1): http://redump.org/disc/48705/
However please do make an account and contribute when an admin gets to making you an account! (Unfortunately Hotmail, Outlook, Gmail and Web.de may block emails from redump, so you may need to use a different email, protonmail is a free email that you can use if you need one).
If you are looking for the PS3 Welcome discs, they are in the BD-Video DAT as they are not actually PS3 discs. This DAT is not made public, hence you cannot find them by searching on redump.org without logging in.
redump.org currently has entries for BCUS 98156 (Ringcode BVSS-011760A1), BCUS-98182 (Ringcode BVSS-020710A1), BCUS-98195 (Ringcode BVSS-032970A1), BCUS-98213 (Ringcode BVDL-052280A1), and BCUS 98156R (Ringcode BVSS-017190A1).
If you have a different serial/ringcode, then it would be missing from redump. BCUS-98213 also needs verification.
It is of course appreciated that you wish to contribute to redump, you can still provide your logs (following the guide on the wiki) to verify these discs.
I have not used that specific drive model, but you will need to ensure it is a JB8 model and it will need to be flashed with specific firmware:
http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title= … T_firmware
This wiki page is still a work-in-progress, it currently suggests using the 3.02 firmware, but Ribshark's custom 3.10 firmware is now compatible with redumper and can be recommended for use.
Really? I don't see any fields in the DAT file for "date added" for any games listed. Also, this method doesn't seem to track when entries are removed or updated, hence why I'd like to compare older releases vs. new ones.
"Date added" field is in redump.org only. Yes, this makes it difficult to rebuild an old DAT, redump isn't flexible.
I still don't understand why you want a DAT from a specific date. If it's just information you want, you should be able to get it from redump.org itself (or ask directly), as the DATs don't contain anything that isn't visible in redump.org
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.
There was a tool written in the past that used to do just this, however the source was never released
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.
I don't think any of the reprints have been dumped for redump.
Shrek 2 on the Xbox has a different hash and seems to have a different mastering code.
What is the region and ringcode for your Shrek 2?
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.
Hello, you may find more people available to help with this on the (unofficial) VGPC discord: https://discord.gg/AHTfxQV
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 
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
Deterous wrote:I've attached a zip of a list of serials for each BIOS. It would be useful for knowing which consoles supports which game in terms of backwards compatibility, etc.
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.
With the new BIOS dat out recently, (115) (2022-12-12), I thought I'd just update this post that there are no new serials mentioned:
ps2-0170jd-20030206 lists the same serials as ps2-0170j-20030206
ps2-0190ad-20030623 lists the same serials as ps2-0190a-20030623
ps2-0190k-20030623 lists the same serials as ps2-0190h-20030623
ps2-0200ed-20040614 lists the same serials as ps2-0200e-20040614
ps2-0220jd-20050620 lists the same serials as ps2-0220j-20050620
ps2-0220jd-20060905 lists the same serials as ps2-0220j-20060905
