<r><QUOTE author="diego-rbb-93"><s>[quote=diego-rbb-93]</s>More than 10000 Sony Playstation 1 discs... 10653 being concrete, 4791 of them coming from Asia<br/>
<br/>
That astonishing number is about to be defeated, as Sadikyo is adding soon near 50 discs from PS2 japan... So the actual 10609 discs ...

<t>Take a look at the ringcode on the back (ask the seller for a photo if necessary), the main part of the ID (the BPSS number on American PS3 discs) should match if it's already dumped. Sometimes the trailing digit differs (e.g. 1/2/3) along with the SID codes but this isn't part of the main ID.<br ...

<t>Depends on where the game was issued and if the text is actually changed IMO. Sonic Colors (US) vs. Sonic Colours (PAL region) is another example.<br/>
<br/>
Technically it shouldn't be too hard to implement as long as there is a word list to tell the search engine to display all word variants ...

<r>Speaking of barcodes...<br/>
<br/>
If a PAL version game is not for retail release and contains "not for sale" or similar text in place of a barcode, a 7-digit number in the form of a product ID may still exist on the spine under the serial number, or on the disc itself (especially with demo ...

But... does it only affect "silver" CDs or are discs with full labels just as susceptible? PS1 games (especially Platinum versions) are some of the worst for getting the slightest scratch on the top side and ruining a disc, even if the black side is mint.

IR light should show up with all digital imaging devices. Even a crappy old PS2 EyeToy can be used with a TV remote pointed towards the CD, I have done so before!

<r>FIFA 99 needed the ringcode anyway, it's worth verifying. <IMG src="https://forum.redump.info/img/smilies/smile.png"><s>[img]</s><URL url="https://forum.redump.info/img/smilies/smile.png"><LINK_TEXT text="img/smilies/smile.png">https://forum.redump.info/img/smilies/smile.png</LINK_TEXT></URL><e ...

If you mean the PSX discs, it's just a regular old non-LED flashlight (white LEDs can't get through the disc layer, same with CFLs, due to the bluish light they put out).

<t>Ring codes are more useful than the SLUS/SLES etc. numbers actually. Some games have the exact same PlayStation ID number between versions while the matrix is completely different due to being a different pressing. The SID codes and toolstamps are fairly unimportant however as these change during ...

<r>All they need is a flashlight to be able to read them. Yes, getting photos or scans of them is slightly more difficult but in most cases just double checking the ringcodes is good enough, most people can be trusted that what they have typed will be identical to what's on the disc.<br/>

Oh ...
