Sure you can. When using DIC copy the data from the .dat file that it creates and copy it into the clrmamepro datafield!

Oh, it's the ClrMamePro field! Okay. Well, I'd had these ripped with IsoBuster, and had done the hashes myself with HashTab. Perhaps I can do a rip and get the way it formats the data, then use that as a template for the submissions.

Yes.

None of the more experienced dumpers use tools like Isobuster and EAC. We have DIC, CDToimg_D8, Subdump etc. We also have a tool for PS2 that gathers most of the information needed directly from the image.

Any chance you could provide a link for cdtoimg_d8, as old ones are not working?

Egen, for further submissions feel free to add additional information like ISBN or publisher specific IDs to your submissions.
For Sorcerous Stabber Orphen I've added the ISBN found at the backcover.

Additionally take care, that you picked the right Isobuster settings with regard to determinaing the EXE date... Just to double check since its not mentioned in any of our guides iirc. Proper settings mentioned here.

Last but not least we properly space multiple space with the [TAB] sign from your keyboard a.k.a. SLPS-25008  2 gos to SLPS-25008[Press TAB-Key here]2. But that just works in a text Editor and has been copy'n'pasted over to the submission form.

Alright, for some submissions I have additional identifier numbers (Crash Bandicoot has 4 of them or something!) but I did not think of ISBN. I must admit that for Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, I did not notice it. Quite inconspicuous.

The dates are actually double checked, and if I find one that does not match the database, triple checked. But so far, I haven't made any errors with dates (I have found errors though).

From now on I will copy and paste submissions with tab characters, because of course you can't insert tab characters via internet browser as the tab key will just jump to the next field. This is the kind of stuff I like to know. Thank you for further improving my submissions, my template is growing Image

GreyFox, what is the "tool for PS2 that gathers most of the information needed directly from the image"? This sounds interesting.

Egen it is a Python thing... You need to talk to iklio and see if he feels like sharing it...
