Is it possible to see the total size of a collection somehow?
Like, say I wanted to know how big, collectively, all of the USA PS1 dumps are. Any way to do that? EDIT: I was terribly vague, I meant disk size, like bytes.
Also, is there any way to look for only Italian ones? You can filter for Europe, but specific countries?

Re: Out of curiosity
On any of the results pages (e.g. discs -> Sony Playstation), at the top it'll say "Displaying results 1 - 500 of 10449", so there are 10449 total discs in the collection. Filtering to America (https://redump.info/discs/system/psx/region/Am/) gives 1966 (one of which appears to be canadian, and the rest USA)
From /viewtopic.php?t=15174 … dump-uses/ and /viewtopic.php?p=39295#p39295 it looks like there are other regions that aren't linked directly; for instance I gives Italy, and U gives USA. (Oddly, I get 1964 US discs and 1 Canadian disc, which doesn't quite add up). If you want to figure out the region code for something specific, you can right-click the flag and select "view image"; the URL will be something like https://redump.info/images/regions/I.png and from that you can see that I is Italy. (Or you can just guess at URLs; that's worked fairly well for me.)

Re: Out of curiosity
Ah, haha, I was guessing 2-letter codes like IT since the codes that are given are 2 letters. Very clever about the flag images, thanks for that one. Very cool.
And by "how big", I really wasn't clear. I meant how many bytes. Is there a way to do that?

Re: Out of curiosity
If you have any scripting experience you could parse the dat to get a total size.
Re: Out of curiosity
Ahhhh, I hadn't thought of downloading the DAT. D'oh! I was just thinking of a method on the website. I've been using AHK for almost 15 years so I think I could come up with something, even if it is makeshift. Thanks for the idea.
