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.

What does this mean in human language and is it good to submit to redump or is the disc bad?

xD

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.

Dont post rom links.

Thanks! <3 <3

>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.

Ditto with some E3 (a USA event) marked as Europe:
http://redump.org/disc/58185/
http://redump.org/disc/58184/
http://redump.org/disc/70199/
http://redump.org/disc/57767/

>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.

I was chatting with Fireball about Karaoke and whether that would fit in here at Redump. While the Kiss-Site has video game functionality (scoring), iKTV and CD-G do not. So if iKTV should be in redump then so should CD-G, they both lack any kind of additional video game functionality (then it goes without saying, that if one of the two should NOT be in redump, then the other one shouldn't either).

Wikipedia: "Karaoke is a type of dining interactive entertainment or video game developed in Japan in which an amateur singer sings along with recorded music (a music video) using a microphone."

IMO this is enough to qualify for me. Thoughts on allowing Karaoke CD-G entries or removing iktv? Executive decision iRobot?

I recently built out the iKTV miss list http://wiki.redump.org/index.php?title=Tao_iKTV_CD
and noticed many discs are super cheap on eBay. So I'd like some clarification on this before I buy any for Redump.
