Help, 2 different ring codes but matching hashes for same game.

Post by TonkaTruck »

Hi,

First off i am totally new to all this, but i have 2 copies of The Sims 3 Late Night Expansion pack for PC https://redump.info/disc/101936/

Both redumper dumps have the same hash, but the ring codes are wildly different. 

One copy is boxed, with manual etc, the other was just a loose disc in a plastic sleeve.   Not sure if i have a pirated one or what.

Attached is a scaled down combined scan of the ring codes.  The left hand ring matches the current dat and codes and is the fully boxed disc.  The right hand one is the loose disc version, with a wildly different ring code. 

Can anyone offer any insight as to why this might be?

This is expected and normal. One seems to be the Australian version.
You would submit them both as separate verifications.

Thanks for that Deterous.   I will dump them both when my first verification dump is ok, still learning processes here. 

Some follow up questions for you or anyone else if i can, so i don't funk things up to much.

I edited my first verification dump as i realized i had not flashed my lg to the ribshark firmware, and added -[FIXED]- to post.  Hopefully i wont need to do something like that again, but what is best practice for such events?

Also, i read to wait until your first dump goes through before adding more, will i get any form of notification of a new or verify dump is processed and ok?

Sorry for making a mess of the forums, new to all this, and want to get the process down so i can just get on with dumping and no waffle Image

Thanks for flashing with the firmware. You have dumper status now so feel free to submit more (See my comment on your post if you haven't already: /viewtopic.php?p=103426#p103426 )
