Versions for the following PSX dumps needed...

Post by Rocknroms »

https://redump.info/discs/system/psx/sort … /dir/desc/

The ones which have EDC / NO-EDC releases in this list needs the real version vX.XX to be fixed. Collectors who have these images please post versions so they can be fixed, thanks!

Lol.. but I agree that the 'EDC', 'No EDC' tags aren't ideal, especially because most 'No EDC' releases are original and 'EDC' are Platinum etc. rereleases.. it would look better to just leave out the 'No EDC' tag then and only add the 'EDC' tag to the newer release.

Hmm... why aren't they ideal?

They represent the same image, just one has EDC and the other not,
vX.XX would mean total different releases.

I would let everything like it is.

Version field = vX.XX or revision

EDC or not has to stay only in ver. datfile, then we can discuss if it's better EDC or else or if it's better to have something similar to "vX.XX EDC" or put "EDC" as release (best in my opinion). I quite finished to edit all the "fantasy fullfill" of Version field, these are another example. How can you find Version of those games if it's not in DB?

I'm not a PSX expert but I never see EDC / no EDC in CNF files as long as I never see a flying pig even if I'm not an expert of this animal

EDC / No EDC tag is used because that's the difference between the dumps.. one has EDC and the other one doesn't.. but what I meant to say is.. for the original, first release it is irrelevant to add a tag.. imho we should only add (EDC) to changed releases.. like we only add (Alt) to the releases that we think to be different from the original release.

I understood this and I could agree unless there's something better to differ dumps, but again this tag has nothing to do with Version and shuold be set elsewhere.

It should be good to have Version infos for these dumps so they can be fixed

There IS no version info on PSX games.. we ASSUME versions based on exe dates, so the one with the earliest exe date gets v1.0 and the newer one v1.1 etc..

And also, EDC / No EDC games have the exact same files. The only difference is the EDC bytes.. e.g. if you remove the EDC using psxt001z you get the No EDC version. They're essentially the same versions but with different mastering, that's why I think the (Alt) tag is more appropriate with the new naming convention.

"Revision" would better for them, nope?
