I was verifying Oni (USA) and ran into something unusual. The size in the database didn't match the size of my dump although my hash calc values were identical.

When I include the size of a game I usually right click the bin file and use the one labeled (Size on Disc) it looks like IpseDixit used the size option instead. For most games the Size & Size on Disc match each other but this game they are different.

Image Size: 740,675,376 bytes (Size)
Image Size: 740,675,584 bytes (Size on Disc)

Should I be using Size or Size on Disc when submitting entry's?

If it is the size option then the database entry for Oni is correct.

It's the "size" value that should be used. I think that the "size on disc" depends of the file system and cluster size...
That's why i think that Clrmame should be used always, even for single track discs...
