Redump Forum

no one asked me for my opinion, but i also think that any non-gaming media doesn't belong to the redump-DB. maybe someone should launch a sub-project for this kind.

no-intro still exists altough you can find full no-intro nintendo ds sets with thousands of games shared on some tnerrot-sites.
there are also nfo-sites like ludibria which lists various zeraw. you can copy & paste the release-names to a search engine and the first result is usually yabetarip.

in a way all these sites help you to find coprighted material, but they still exist, so i don't think redump is in trouble yet.

Ну ты же не хочешь сказать, что у нас релизов на торрентах нет? Какая уж тут невиновность? ) Группа, которая дампит и релизит дампы, всяких разоров за такое только так сажают. Мне похер, просто палевно некоторые разделы на сайте открытыми держать, зачем внимание лишнее, лучше перестраховаться.

Wow, how unexpected well, I said before, that all the torrent talk should be prohibited on this forum and the dumpers should NOT be encouraged to upload their stuff.

I'm also with amarok, if we are confidant in the dumping method, then I'd love to see other sections open up, DVD/BR/HDD Video, Audio CDs, IBM PC Apps, etc; if someone is willing to start contributing hashs, then the section should exist *from a disc preservation perspective*.

There is already ~30 systems in redump, an extra 3 or 4 wont confuse anything, and I'm sure it wouldn't put any significant strain on the server.  I don't see an attention thing being an issue either; we already have XBOX360/PS3/Wii, might as well finish it and add the last few sections.  Audio could be popular but video is so large that it probably wont be of too much interest to random people; average joe will ignore redump and stick to h264/xvid avi/mkv etc.

End result, it is never too early to start collecting the hashs.

No need to chalenge fate, movies do not belong to an online db  besides when it comes to dvds do you have the slightest idea the millions of movies and varations out there? try making an offline personal db in excel or something.

ghost, lemme fix that for you: "besides when it comes to PC games do you have the slightest idea the millions of different versions, editions and varations out there?" I hope you understand what I mean... If anything, the complexity of the task or the number of discs out there should be an incentive, not a reason against it ^^

I think neither will be of interest to many people. As I've said, there already is AccurateRip for Audio CDs, which does *exactly* this, except for "advanced" things such as overreading etc. Average Joe still thinks that 128 kbit/s sounds great (the more audiophile Average Joes might prefer iTunes ^^). A FLAC rip is already overkill to most people, even if it's not offset-corrected, or no overreading or gap detection was used. Redump dumps would definitely be way too clumsy for most people. You couldn't even tag them without altering the checksums

All that being said, I still don't understand why a games DB - especially one containing Wii, Xbox 360 and PS3 would be any less dangerous than one with movies or music... The games industry isn't any less fierce when it comes to persecuting filesharers ^^ quite the contrary.

To compare the service of a database with the one of a torrentracker seems unreasonable.

People can download files trough torrentfiles..be they movies..audiofiles..games and what not.

But nobody can download anything trough reading hash-informations.

If redump.org dumpers, moderators or even administrators upload and share files using the redump.org database or not they make themself guilty of course.

Trackers and torrentfiles are needed to share files. a database however is for sure not.
