How about adding a language tag pretty please? :)

[Devcon]

What do you think guys, of adding the language tag in the datfile for each game? The way is now can be a little confusing for some people, because some think (E) is the language English and not the region (Europe).

I think the region is clear to know if we see the serial, and it's redundant to including it again with a region tag.

How about something like this?:

Code: Select all

Action Man - Mission Xtreme (Da,Du,En,Fi,Fr,Ge,It,No,Sp,Sw) [SLES-01761]
Actua Golf 3 (En) [SLES-01042]
Actua Soccer (v1.1) (En,Fr) [SLES-00014]

I think it's much more useful seeing the language tags that the region one, if we already can know the region seeing the serial. That way we don't need to come here and search in the database what languages are supported.

It's only a sugestion

Sorry i didn't know about that, but i downloaded the .dat and it's seems equal that the normal one?

Example:

Code: Select all

game (
    name "Action Man - Mission Xtreme (E) [SLES-01761]"
    description "Action Man - Mission Xtreme (E) [SLES-01761]"
    rom ( name "Action Man - Mission Xtreme (E) [SLES-01761].cue" size 110 crc d6f1f959 md5 0ed54835dc3ed34ecb6a2b518b508675 sha1 9c9f43b94c5cdeefb902f16ab3f28c15c11b5a7b )
    rom ( name "Action Man - Mission Xtreme (E) [SLES-01761].bin" size 552705888 crc 01b94ff1 md5 6058af0724f16da02b72e562aa7c2a6d sha1 3cc7c5994cd9af5c177f2b766449bee1e79d8e39 )
)

It's don't have the language tags, only the region one.

And what about disc images like: /viewtopic.php?t=2225 … on-needed/ that are country specific, but the game itself is in english language?

Thanks, thats great

Now if only it has a [!] at final meaning that is a redump.org perfect dump would be the perfect dat hehe

[F1ReB4LL]

It should became an official No-Intro dat first

Now if only it has a [!] at final meaning that is a redump.org perfect dump would be the perfect dat hehe

When a redump.org dump NOT a perfect dump?

[Devcon]

Well, a redump.org is always a perfect dump

I mean we can have at the same dir a lot more dumps that are not at redump database. If i have dumps that are [!] and others that don't we can know what are the good ones

On a side note we can do a: dir /b /on > _list.txt to get quickly a game list, without using clrmamepro. This way we get a list with the good dumps and the others. At least it's the way i do my lists

nrl_quaker how can we get "no-intro" cuesheets too?
