A discussion on flags, regions, and languages

[Edness]

I can't really speak much for 1) and 2), it can be better answered by someone else, but the general rule of thumb is to usually just set the region to where your particular disc came from.  If you bought it in the US, you set the region to that as well, however regions are also much more generalized for anything that isn't PC, e.g. USA region being the default for anything North America.  When verifications from other regions come in, the region can be adjusted with their submissions.  But as earlier - not really my place to speak on.  Anyway:


3)  You can mention it in the comments, but this actually applies to pretty much every PS2 (and PS1 for that matter) game disc pressed on a CD after 2007/2008.  See [PS2] Casper and the Ghostly Trio (Europe) (En,Pt,Sv,No,Da,Fi,Pl) as an example - the disc I've dumped has the blue tinted back, but RetroGamer's disc had a silver/untinted data side.  However I wouldn't say it's a super important note.


4)  Typing <tab> will convert them to tabs in !submissioninfo.txt.  I also had the same idea as you long ago to just use three spaces out of convenience, however, while tabs are converted to three spaces on both the forum and the entry pages, I was eventually informed that they were actually trimmed down to just one space when using the New Disc submission form, so using actual tabs is a must in that regard.  I suppose you could probably skip converting them to tabs for submissions that will go on the verifications forum.

1: We look at the disc and packaging as a whole.

2: The distinction between US - Canada - and USA, Canada region discs is tenuous at best, we don't have clear definitions for those, *especially* for PC. I cannot give you a flat answer without looking at each item individually.

3: Edness is correct here, leave a comment.

4: Edness is correct here, use <tab>, though 3 spaces is also acceptable.
