[!] is useles if you are archiving perfect dumps only. No-intro does the same.

Now that I think about it, maybe No-Intro formatting should be the default one.
What do you guys think?

it have to be the same as dat. but i dunno why it doesn't work.

I like No-Intro's naming scheme, myself. I don't need to digging to find out what that obscure country code is, and I can tell what languages are on the disc at a glance. It makes the filenames a little bit longer, but the only time No-Intro has ever given me problems with that are those 4-in-1 carts that list the full title of every game on it.

Although if Redump did change its naming, I think there are some other things that could be improved, too. For example, putting all the discs for a game in the same folder. e.g. Final Fantasy IX (U) needs 8 folders currently, but they could be merged into one or two folders.

Each naming has its advantages and disadvantages.. when we last discussed it I think most people still preferred the current PSX naming because it also included serial.. also, imho I think having the languages in the filename is superfluous..

PX-760A for life

I quote.

EDIT: it wil be usefull only if you have more EUR release with different languages.
For example "Beyond Good & Evil" GC (3 euro releases with different languages to fit the game on one mini-dvd).

For my self i have enought with the https://redump.info/datfile/no-intro/psx/ datfile, i didn't know of the existence of that one. I like to see the languages, and i think a lot more of european people prefer that system too, it's nice having the option for using the 2, thanks guys

I think i would start renaming the dumps i have that don't are in the database with something like [x], problem solved

I was wondering, why do people prefer having the serial in the filename? AFAIK, it doesn't supply any useful information not already in the filename. It's not necessarily unique or even reliable, when you take into account GH releases, version differences, and the occasional printing error. If you need to know it, it can easily be looked up. The only use of it in the filename I can think of is if for some reason you know the serial, but not any part of the name of the game and want to find it. This has never happened to me, and I can't really think of a scenario where it could. Am I missing something?

What's stopping you from doing that now? Name the folder Final Fantasy IX (U) and put all the discs in that folder with their cue. You might not be able to check with the dat but you have the DB and hashcalc.  I wouldn't consider that an improvement Final Fantasy might be single track game so it's only one track and a cue (if you want to use it) but what about multi-track games that have more then one disc. The emulator I use PSX V1.13 displays all tracks when you want to load a game and not just cues and it would be a pain in the ass if say even 2 disc game had 5 tracks each that you have to go through to find the cues.

I like the way it is now.

I find it useful indeed to have the serial in the filename, but I also like having the full country name and languages, when there's more than one.
In the end, even if it was changed, it wouldn't please everyone
It's probably better to leave it as it is.

Can someone fix the no-intro cuesheet generation?
