Konami IDs are of the format ��### where � is a letter and # is a number. For example, VX001 refers to the PlayStation release of Jikkyou Powerful Pro Yakyuu '95.<br>

Konami's first video games were available in the arcade, and their arcade boards used the same format, using GX### ("Generation X" ?). Konami's first home video game releases in 1983 were with the Atari 2600 and NEC PC-6001, using the ID RC1## ('''RC''' for "ROM Cartridge") for their Atari 2600 games, and RC5## for the NEC PC-6001 cartridges. This was followed by their MSX games (also in 1983) using RC7##, and then the Nintendo Famicom (from 1985) allocated to the RC8## range. Konami also published MSX LaserDisc games, using the prefix PG ("Players Game" ?). In 1986, Konami released their first game ported to the PC-88 and released on a floppy disk, which was allocated an ID in the '''RA''' range instead, with RA3## for the NEC PC-8801, and later RA6## for the NEC PC-9801, RA9## for the Sharp X68000, and finally RA7## for the NEC PC-9821. Nintendo games continued to be released with the R prefix, '''RS''' for the Super Famicom, '''RZ''' for the N64, '''RQ''' for the GameCube, and '''RI''' for the Wii. In 1994, PlayStation games were instead released with VX###, and later optical disc based games continued to use the V prefix, '''VZ''' for the 3DO, '''VS''' for the Saturn, etc. This attempt at documentation will never be complete and exists only as a best-effort catalogue, missing information is to be expected.

These IDs are present on most games published by Konami in Japan, Korea and Asia (Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, etc).

This is an attempt to track Konami IDs/Serials for the purposes of game preservation. As redump focusses on optical discs, non-optical game IDs are mentioned but only a few IDs are included as examples.

Konami's first video games were available in the arcade, and their arcade boards used the same format, using GX### ("Generation X" ?). Konami's first home video game releases in 1983 were with the Atari 2600 and NEC PC-6001, using the ID RC1## (RC for "ROM Cartridge") for their Atari 2600 games, and RC5## for the NEC PC-6001 cartridges. This was followed by their MSX games (also in 1983) using RC7##, and then the Nintendo Famicom (from 1985) allocated to the RC8## range. Konami also published MSX LaserDisc games, using the prefix PG ("Players Game" ?). In 1986, Konami released their first game ported to the PC-88 and released on a floppy disk, which was allocated an ID in the RA range instead, with RA3## for the NEC PC-8801, and later RA6## for the NEC PC-9801, RA9## for the Sharp X68000, and finally RA7## for the NEC PC-9821. Nintendo games continued to be released with the R prefix, RS for the Super Famicom, RZ for the N64, RQ for the GameCube, and RI for the Wii. In 1994, PlayStation games were instead released with VX###, and later optical disc based games continued to use the V prefix, VZ for the 3DO, VS for the Saturn, etc. This attempt at documentation will never be complete and exists only as a best-effort catalogue, missing information is to be expected.
