Explanatory notes for each of the fields as follows:
Title: The main title of the game. If there are multiple variants of the game title given, the in-game title should take precedence. Additional titles (e.g. on the box, spine, etc.) can be added in comments using the [T:ALT] tag.
If titles in multiple languages are present, the English title should take precedence. Titles in other languages can be added to comments using the [T:ALTF] tag.
Titles in non-Latin alphabets should be romanised. For Cyrillic, this should be done using the GOST 7.79-2000 system. For Japanese titles, a modified Hepburn romanization system is used, but there are some additional complexities.
Foreign Title (Non-latin): Titles in non-Latin alphabets can be provided as-is for this field
Disc Number / Letter: If the disc is explicitly numbered or lettered (1, 2, A, B, etc.) then provide this information here. If a disc is labelled e.g. "Disc 1 of 2", it is only necessary to provide the number 1.
Disc Title: If the disc is explicitly given a title such as "Install Disc" or "Bonus DVD" then include this information here.
System: Please select the appropriate system from the list of System Names
Media Type: CD-ROM / DVD-ROM-5 / DVD-ROM-9 / BD-ROM-25 / BD-ROM-50
Category: Select as appropriate from the following list:
- Add-Ons
- Applications
- Audio
- Bonus Discs
- Coverdiscs
- Demos
- Educational
- Games
- Multimedia
- Preproduction
- Video
Region: The region in which the disc was primarily available for sale. This could be an individual country (Japan) or a broader regional designation (Europe). Use of the "World" region should be avoided - this is only added in exceptional circumstances where multiple matching dumps from all major regions are known.
Languages: These should be languages which are explicitly available in game. For PC, if multiple languages are offered during installation, it should be verified that the game is playable in each of these. If you are not sure, leave this field blank.
Disc Serial: Any serial number which is printed on the disc itself. Note that serial numbers printed on cases, sleeves, inlays etc. should not be included here.
Ringcode Information: Follow the Ring Code Guide
Barcode: If there are multiple barcodes present (e.g. on outer sleeve/inner jewel case) then add all of these and comma separate them
Error Count: This information can be found in the .img_EccEdc.txt file generated during the dumping process. If it reads "[NO ERROR] User data vs. ecc/edc match all" then enter 0 here, otherwise enter the number given after "Total errors:"
Comments: Any other relevant information that doesn't belong in a specified field goes here. Please see the list of Special Site Codes for some of the types of information that can be added here.
Contents: Completely optional, but if the disc contains any interesting contents other than the main game (demos, trailers, manuals, etc.) then this can be noted here.
Version: Any obvious version information should be included here. For the following systems there are standard methods to find the version:
- Sony PlayStation 2 - use the VER tag in SYSTEM.CNF
- Sony PlayStation 3 - use the VERSION tag from PARAM.SFO
- Sony PlayStation 4 - use the VERSION tag from PARAM.SFO
For IBM PC, version information can be found in many places. For preference, any version information displayed in-game should be used - this can often be found on title screens, menus, or credit sequences. If this is not available, other sources such as readme files, .ini files or installers can be searched.
Edition/Release: If a game is part of a particular named edition or special release (e.g. Limited Edition, Platinum Hits, etc.) then this information should be included here. For bonus discs bundled with a particular game (e.g. bonus DVDs or soundtrack CDs), the edition is always "[SYSTEM] Game Bundle"
Primary Volume Descriptor (PVD): Open up the _mainInfo.txt file generated during the dumping process and search for "LBA[000016, 0x00010]", then scroll down to to the block from 0320-0370 on the left hand side. It will look something like the following:
0320 : 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 32 30 30 200 0330 : 33 30 31 33 30 31 33 34 39 31 34 38 32 04 32 30 3013013491482.20 0340 : 30 33 30 31 33 30 31 33 34 39 31 34 38 32 04 32 03013013491482.2 0350 : 31 30 33 30 31 33 30 31 33 34 39 31 34 38 32 04 103013013491482. 0360 : 32 30 30 33 30 31 33 30 31 33 34 39 31 34 38 32 2003013013491482 0370 : 04 01 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ................
Copy and paste this information into your submission
Copy Protection: BurnOutSharp, although built as a Windows application, should be usable under compatibility layers such as WINE on other operating systems. Any copy protection information it detects should be included here.
DAT: As part of the dumping process, DIC should generate a .dat file. Open this up, search for "<rom" and copy and paste all the information from that line here e.g.
<rom name="KFGP_UK_CD4.bin" size="258468336" crc="9cf45669" md5="9fc1b58856519c8783e3c800d1b06a7e" sha1="9df1c099ef632e5d55408672e7520e3da17b4977" />
Cuesheet: DIC should have generated a .cue file (for CDs only) as part of the dumping process. Open this in your chosen text editor and copy and paste the information into your submission e.g.
FILE "KFGP_UK_CD4.bin" BINARY
TRACK 01 MODE1/2352
INDEX 01 00:00:00
Write Offset: Open up the _disc.txt file generated by DIC during the dumping process and scroll down to line 26, which should show e.g. "CD Offset(Byte) -48, (Samples) -12". Copy and paste the number after (Samples) into your submission
