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.

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!

Sorry, I shortened the printed serial, it does have -STD. Here's the links (can't be viewed without logging in).

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).

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.

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.

I don't think any of the reprints have been dumped for redump.

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.

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

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 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.

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

I've extracted all the PS1 serials mentioned in the PS2 bios (SCPH-10000)

The serials, titles and dump status are listed in the csv file attached.
