Most likely just you that look at them as incomplete because of the yellow color and then get fixated onto it. While you should instead be focusing on the more important shit like the hashes for the isos themselves being correct.

The current no hyphen, hyphen thing is idiotic anyhow. Since we just take what is written on the disc. For more proper storage we should have disc, internal and box serials written down since serials on discs can be misprinted. And there are even discs that have the wrong serial noted on disc label etc it is noted as say UK release while in fact it is a Nordic release with a completely different internal serial number. There are also PS2 discs that have multiple EXEs on the disc. etc. etc.

And in PS3 we have games that are multi region with different serials printed on the label while the internal serial always is the same MRTC one or the XC series which are hybrid PS3/Vita crossover discs. All this shit should be stored as in a comparison to now but the admin do not care. The Q was lifted almost 6 months ago still nothing happens.

And your submissions aren't trusted anyhow until you can back it up with proof. AKA high resolution scans of the disc. And with this a moderator can lock a ring code as verified OK.

Ah man, don't even remind me of the scanner thing, I bought a $270 scanner and the carriage stopped re-adjusting correctly within the first 5 scans. Returned it and bought a $90 scanner and holy crap, those were the worst scans I had ever seen. My problem is that I just can't find a quality Contact Image Sensor scanner. Charge-Coupled Device? Sure, but then enjoy having rainbow crap all over your disc scans. CCD can't scan that surface for beans, but any CIS scanner I buy is cursed. I'll try another scanner later on and I will get some scans up though (at least that's my hope).

In the meantime, I'm going to submit some verifications for discs like I was asked. I'm going to submit some with different edition, but the same hashes, so it's not a new entry but you can add the "Original" edition to the entry when I'm done Image
