Well it's not a surprise if Windows doesn't recognize it since that's common for CD-i.

>after pressing the button " .... proceed to dump anyway" immediately a fault tone and does absolutely nothing

Do you have the correct drive letter selected? One of our other members just bought this disc as well, so we will keep you updated on how it works for him. I'll keep an eye out for a cheap USA copy as well on ebay.

Thanks for reporting this, for whatever coincidence a lot of CDi research is coming together at roughly this moment of time (I just bought about 90 CDi discs and a friend bought more), so all this kind of info is very helpful.

Fireball says this bug must be fixed http://forum.redump.org/topic/22563/phi … mos-quest/

DIC is dumping scrambled now, previously it did not dump scrambled (Dimo's Quest Europe).

This bug exists since sometime before 20190326, whenever DIC stopped outputting to SCM.

Good question. All VCDs have that CDI folder and are.multitrack. CD-i Digital Video is single track.

Possible to update DIC so Fireball will add CD-i Ready dumps? He says current DIC dumps are not compatible with redump because you two disagree or something.

Hi Deev Eedeez! Thanks for swinging by. I've been making progress on our CDi lists, but they're still not yet complete... so I'd say dump em all!

A redump Mod should reply to you soonish with an account registration. Glad to have another CDi guy on the team.

>However, if I ordered the game from the US, I would still get to choose the artwork?
No, the USA packaging variant had been distributed to USA-based webshops. I would have to import from a European seller if I wanted the European packaging.

>And anyone from anywhere could order any artwork variation? So I fail to see why it should get (USA) region then.
You would have to import it. So the second sentence is an incorrect premise.

>you can order some of them in EU/USA/Japan packaging but they will all be manufactured in the same place, so i guess the home region would take precendent then or as User7 says, 'world'

I really don't understand how this differs from say PC pressed games that might be sent around the world or to different, specific countries.

>So the barcode is Dutch
Same with many Action Replays. Same barcode worldwide, different executeables.

>, the disc was made in Germany.
All PS2 made in Austria, unless you agree all PS2 should be marked as Austrian region, this argument is inconsistent.

>Is this a European release exported to the US, albeit with different packaging?
This package was ONLY sold in USA. So no, it wasn't a "European release" since it was never released in Europe.

I was discussing with Jackal a point of what region should be assigned to entries.

I believe country of manufacturing is a bad way to assign region, example:
https://www.ebay.es/itm/274285642923
"Assembled in Germany" manufactured in Germany, yet Distributed only in Spain. Should this be Germany or Spain? I would think the answer is simple - Spain.

There are countless other examples of games being manufactured in one location, but distributed specifically in others, and they are correctly given the Distribution region.

---

An example of contention:
http://redump.org/disc/72412/
This is a USA-exclusive packaging, it was never released in Europe this way - period. Since the disc is region free it likely matches content with the other regional packages. So it would make sense to me mark region as USA (or even possibly World if we want to get ahead of ourselves assume all regions match).

However it's marked as Europe? Why? Because it was manufactured there? If manufacturing was the deciding factor of region, we should mark all PS2 discs as "Austria" region, as that's where they're made. "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Irish Edition" region? It should be Austria of course (according to this bad logic).

I rest my case. Jackal asked me to post this for your feedback - what is the rule for regions, where they're made or where they're distributed?

There's no gameplay difference between cd+g and iktv, it seems like a very arbitrary decision to keep one but not the other.

>need some additional examination about whether they only play Video CDs or have some basic interactivity as well.

So basically they could have the same game-play functionality of CD-Gs?

I think I'll pass, if no one is going to define rules that universally apply, I'm not going to waste my money to see the category get nuked over a change of heart.

That's the broader question. Is "just karaoke" (iKTV / CD-G, etc) a "game" / should we dat it here?

My vote is yes. But I got a feeling it will be up to iRobot. Either way there is no gameplay functionality difference between iKTV and CD-G karaoke, so the decision should be the same on both.

Fireball pointed out a couple video game-related CD-Gs http://redump.org/disc/23529/ http://redump.org/disc/31953/

They need the subs to properly function, so redump should either add the subs for download or include in the dat.
