Error count (2023 01-13)
- There are some issues / discrepancies with error counts. The existing tools / process, can sometimes report error counts that differ from previous redump entries as well as reliable external tools like edccchk.exe.
- If you are processing a verification, for example, and the error count differs from that in the current redump entry, please do not update it without researching further! It is possible that edccchk.exe needs to be run on the disc to verify errors, or further investigation is needed.
EXE Date / UTC vs. "local time" issue
- As we have discussed many times before, there are discrepancies in some redump entries (usually by a day or so), due to the difference between localtime and 'UTC' time. MPF is now adjusting the EXE Date to UTC, and so some verifications will show an EXE date that differs (usually early by a day). As a team, we need to figure out if we are going full fledged forward this direction, or not. As it stands, we have a mixture in the database and different mods are doing different things. One proposal is to not adjust them as we are adding verifications, until we figure this out.
