You can Dump some of your Discs as a contribution.
If you're Dumps are okay, the mods/admins will invite you

Re: [Discussion] XBOX 1 / 360 dumping instructions (11 replies, posted in General discussion)
thx usurper.
Enker: Wait for the fixed version of freecell before dumping any games. No dumps are being set to green status as of now.
From so far I have read, xbox (1) should be okay now. If it is okay, I will have two xbox(1) Discs to confirm.

Re: Datfiles and parent/clone relationships (15 replies, posted in General discussion)
I have one example:
Elder Scrolls, The - Morrowind
All Morrowind Standalone Versions should be merged as a set.
All Bloodmoon Addon Versions should be merged as a set.
All Tribunal Addon Versions should be mergend as a set.
All Morrowind GOTY Version should be merged as a set (Includes Morrowind, Bloodmoon, Tribunal).
Another Example:
Deus Ex Standard Edition should be merged together with Deus Ex GOTY Edition as a set.
Why: The GOTY Edition has no further Expansion Packs, no DLC, and no new content. It's just patched to the newest official Version and has some additional Bug Fixes.
http://deusex.wikia.com/wiki/Deus_Ex:_G … ar_Edition
I think it's to decide individually

Re: Datfiles and parent/clone relationships (15 replies, posted in General discussion)
I think the solution with the id is a good one 
I would just suggest one extra:
In the Database we could use id names.
example:
<game name="Tekken Tag Tournament (Europe) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) (v2.00)">
<group id="00556">
I would suggest to build in a search field.
For example:
You want submit a Game and don't know the group id.
You type in the name: *Tekken
You get all results to "Tekken" and and see which Titles with Tekken have which group id and just take the id that fits to the group.
I know, you can check the Discs manually too 
But that's more comfortable. I just don't know, if this will get into high server loads???

Re: Datfiles and parent/clone relationships (15 replies, posted in General discussion)
I think we should go with jamjam's sugestions, since he allry work longer on this merged Sets and do many experimentations.
He has allry some experience and know where the problems are

Re: Datfiles and parent/clone relationships (15 replies, posted in General discussion)
Yes, I know.
But you will need to tag the <generic name=""/> line with a name.
You could use here numbers too, but I think it's easier just to use a title .
Some Games have in different Region different titles. It wouldn't make a matter, but I think it's easier to maintain this dat, if you decide to use a title of the game. As editor you could get confuse, if somebody edited the relation with a japanese title and you have edited the relation if the US title and wonder, that the datfile manager doesn't find a relationship between them . Just one idea

Re: Datfiles and parent/clone relationships (15 replies, posted in General discussion)
My suggestion:
I would suggest, the <generic name=""> tag should relate to a specific Region order.
For example: USA > Europe > Japan > Spain > France > Germany > Italian etc...
Multi-Disc Games, like Final Fantasy should merge all together to keep it easy and maximal compression.
Editing: Editing should allways be done by some specific users.
I think the editing stuff can be done by two users. One user can allways edit the relationship between Games. Another User can check it and tick if it is okay or not.
An overview would be very nice, where the editors can see, which Games allrdy have a <generic name=""> relation tag and which games haven't one and this overview should show, if the relation was allrdy checked by the other editor.

Topic: XBoX360 Name Tagging something is missing (1 replies, posted in General discussion)
Hi Guys,
I think we should add an important Information to the Name Tagging on XBoX360 ISOS.
The Wave is in my Opinion an important Information for the Preservation.
It's included in the Redump.org Database, but missing in the Dat file??? If I rebuild Images with it.
My Idea would to tag this Information in the Naming:
Ace Combat 6: Fires of Liberation (WAVE Version) (Region) (Languages)
What do you think about that?
How much effort would this take to implement???

Topic: Prodect Disc??? Useless Protection??? (1 replies, posted in General discussion)
Hi,
I found this Protection of one of my Disc's.
I wonder, the Protection is installed on my System (Windows 7/64bit), but it has no effect.
I just needed to install the Game and can it now even start without the Original Disc or mounting the Dump!!!???
I have Dump the Game just with isobuster and it works.
This Protection seems to be useless???

Re: Getting always different crc??? (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
Hmm... Okay that's real strange.
If I mount such a mds/mdf and dump this with isobuster, I get everytime the correct and same crc, but in this dump isn't the DPM anymore. So I think it's even useless to make a dat for this Stuff, because of the crc's.
It's going better with this as iso &bin.

Topic: Getting always different crc??? (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
Hello,
Since it is impossible to dump the newer Securom/etc. Protected Games with the usuall redump methods, I am trying a method out with Alcohol. (Some experimental for myself)
I know, you guys know the method, because I read often about that you need a mds and my Dumps working well, but the problem is I get everytime a Different crc Hash on the mds/mdf (both Files).
The Games running fine, but I don't know if this is normal, or if my Driver has any probs to make clear 1:1 Dumps??

I have tested superdump with rev 19 and dumped my Wii Sports Resort.
It`s one of the most dumped Games and my dump match the databse crc.

Re: Kreon flaw issue with SS.BIN (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
ahh okay.
I have tryed both methods. The Method in Tracker section and Jackals method.
I get with both methods the right crc from the game.iso dmi.bin and pfi.bin.
Just the SS.BIN give a different crc. Maybe you add the part with the SS.BIN to Jackals tut and write to this point
Attention : XBoX360 Only!!!
I have dump now the SS.BIN 5 times and I have changed the bytes, like in amaroks tutorial.
After I changed the bytes in the 5 SS.Bin, every SS.BIN had the same crc. Seems it work now fine.
Additional I have compared this changed bytes with a SSV2 SS.BIN (This is a SS.BIN dumped with a 0800 flashed XBox360 Drive) The bytes in the circles are similar to the SSV2 dumped similar to the changed ones in amaroks tutorial

Re: Kreon flaw issue with SS.BIN (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
hmmm.... I have now found this:
4.) Extracting DMI, PFI and SS
http://forum.redump.org/topic/5888/xbox … 62-method/
Now your dump is BASICALLY ready to be submitted. But wait, there is still some extra stuff we'd like you to provide us with. So, as a last step, extract the DMI, PFI and SS sectors. Don't ask me what exactly they do; as far as I know they're important in terms of preservation. To extract these sectors you'll need a tool named Schtrom360Xtract. Version 4.1 and above will do fine.
Again, things are a bit complicated. Start Schtrom, select your drive from the list, choose "pfi.bin", "dmi.bin" and "ss.bin" from the "Task" dropdown list and extract them successively. Next, determine the CRC32 of PFI.BIN and DMI.BIN. Not SS.BIN, though, it still needs a little extra care. You need to open it with a hex editor and replace the bytes in the circles (ONLY those bytes!) exactly as in this picture:
http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/116/ … ircled.png
Then you can calculate SS.BIN's CRC32 as well.
For the lazy ones among you, I've hacked together a small python script to do the SS.BIN conversion. You can find it here. You need Python to run the script; open the command line, go to Python's path, then type the following command:
python X:\path\to\ss.py Y:\path\to\ss.bin
The script then overwrites SS.BIN with the proper hex values. Oh, and it's been years since I wrote my last piece of code, so don't mock me for its crappiness tongue
And if you're even lazier, you can find an .exe version of the tool here. I've created it with py2exe, so you need to keep the extra crap that comes with it... But don't worry, there's no virus etc. in it. Usage is as simple as it gets -- just drag your ss.bin onto ss.exe and it converts it.
If this is the right method, Jackal have to add this small indormation to his Tutorial

Topic: Kreon flaw issue with SS.BIN (4 replies, posted in General discussion)
Hi Guys.
I have started to dump some XBox360 Games with my kreon.
I have read, the Kreon Drives have a issue with "reading the angles". But I didn`t know, what was mean with this!!!
I think I figured it out.
Take a XBox360 Game (Wave4 or higher, some Wave 3 Games have the same problem) and try to dump the SS.BIN. Check the CRC. Now dump the SS.BIN a second time and compare the CRC..... Everytime you dump the SS.BIN, you get a different CRC.
I have read, that you need a 0800 Flashed XBox360 Drive for this. The 0800 Method read this sector more then one time and should determinate a exact crc... (But I don`t know it exactly, because I couldn`t test it right now).
Maybe somebody have more info about this
