Internal Serial

Internal Serial for PS3 is taken exactly as contained in the PARAM.SFO file and will look something like "TITLE_ID: BLES00503" which would be: [T:ISN] BLES00503

If you don't have PARAM.SFO file and the game was dumped with MPF, you can get this information from the bottom of the *_disc.txt file from logs.

Version

Version numbers are entered for PS3 exactly as listed in PARAM.SFO or *_disc.txt file from logs.

For example, if it says "VERSION: 01.01", then 01.01 is entered in redump for the version (not 1.01).

Version (datfile)

Standard

For rereleases, if there is another difference suitable to maintain filename separation (e.g. different languages between original and rerelease), no datfile version is required.

If there is no other difference and this would result in a duplicate filename, there are two potential scenarios:

• Same game, different edition, different version, no languages listed -- use the serial number as the datfile version
• Same game, different edition, different version, same languages listed -- use the version (e.g. v01.01) as the datfile version

Worked examples

http://redump.org/disc/67446/ and http://redump.org/disc/98611/, as they have no languages listed, would both end up with a datfile name of "Bioshock (Japan)", resulting in a duplicate filename.

In this case, as neither has any languages listed, we follow the logic in the first bullet point above and these become "Bioshock (Japan) (BLJS-10041)" and "Bioshock (Japan) (BLJS-10189)" respectively.

http://redump.org/disc/8998/ and http://redump.org/disc/52546/ have a similar problem, although in this case both have the same languages listed so we differentiate here by version, giving us "inFamous (USA) (En,Fr,Es) (v01.00)" and "inFamous (USA) (En,Fr,Es) (v02.00)" respectively.
