Yeah.. it's a mess.. this is why I think it's best to avoid as much budget releases as possible - they just add to the mess.. I also hope it won't get much worse

Well.. usually it's just a cheaper version of the game, rereleased by another label..
The problem with these budget releases is that they usually have a data track that's remastered.. essentially it contains the same data as the original version, but usually with some small modifications (if the filedates are newer than the release date of the original I think it's better to wait for the original version dump and see if it can be verified).. I also have some budget releases and I got mixed results.. Mortal Kombat 3 had exactly the same data as the original version, so I was able to verify it.

Ok, I understand what you are talking about. I will keep my eye out for them, I don't think any of my PC games are budget.
EDIT: I do have a budget release well at least a hacked release as I have the Shadow Warrior release from Walmart with all the blood taken out and you need a patch from 3Drealms to make it the original. I was going to dump it but now I won't well at least not for here.

Did anyone get to fixing the PRE/DCP flag issue when generating the cuesheet?
