The purpose of this section is to track discussions and changes from the moderation team, regarding systems, conventions, etc.

• 2022 08-26: Discussed Unlicensed editions when multiple exist, or something other than standard. Use parenthesis such as: Unlicensed (Limited Edition) to identify the specific edition.

• 2022 06-04: Official pressed Photo CDs are all eligible, regardless of content.
• 2022 06-04: Discussed hybrid discs, where one system is eligible for redump and one isn't. For example, a PC/Amiga hybrid that isn't game related. In these cases, the disc will be eligible if any system is eligible, and it will be added to the (eligible) system's dat. In this example, Amiga.
• 2022 05-26: Discussed and confirmed that for transliterated Russian titles, only the first letter of the transliterated title is capitalized, and/or Names / first words in sentences. It should effectively follow the capitalization used in the Russian title.

Special / Unique Situations / FAQ:

• 2022 05-18: If a disc is dual-sided, where one side of the disc contains gaming content, but the other does not, since the disc cannot be separated and contains gaming content, both sides are eligible for addition to redump.
  • Example: a Cartoon Network PC disc that has games on one side and some cartoons on the other.
