Get what info? Everything submitted here is from the original discs, which we have.

But how do I know that is the original disc, for example: I have the game Super Robot Taisen Original Generations and I want to know my game is an original disc or not. What do I do ?

The artwork on the disc, you can compare it to photo's on mobygames and elsewhere. You check the ring code (bottom of disc, inner ring). If it has an IFPI code it is 99% sure to be a real disc.

Pirated discs are usually easy to spot substandard disc silkscreening (most times it's a printed paper label and poorly applied) and IFPI or any ring code at all is missing from the disc.

i had a lot of self made covers and originals mixed together. sometimes the selfmade covers looked so good it was hard to tell from an original. just try scratching it with your finger nail , if it comes loose a bit its a copy.

Ring codes will follow a certain pattern if they're real. You can look at other entries in the database to be sure. Usually something will be off about the packaging on pirate games, and the bottoms will be CD-R looking (because they usually are for pirate games).
