We should not add Rev A, Rev B, Rev C to Dreamcast discs based on mastering code information only, as many of them have no known earlier revisions.

Example:

Virtua Striker 2 Ver.2000.1 is not Rev C even though mastering code is HDR-0045-0226C, as there are no known instances of -0226, -0226A or -0226B over many dumps.

If there are known revisions, then we can use the letter to separate revisions in dat filename. We will not use any "Rev" denomination if there's no letter at all (ie, no "Rev 0" or similar).

Example:

House of the Dead 2: HDR-0007-0050 (no Rev used in filename), HDR-0007-0050A ("Rev A" in dat filename), HDR-0007-0050B ("Rev B" in dat filename)

--- Serial field is for box serial. Internal serial (found in header) is listed in comments as [T:ISN] (header serial) (current MPF outputs it ready to be used in the submissioninfo.txt) --- MIL-CDs are Multisession

How to calculate multisession range (MPF should do this automatically now):

  • Open disc.txt in logs and go to TOC
  • Session 1 range is LBA 0 to (last sector in session 1 minus 11400)
  • Session 2 range is (first sector in session 2 to last sector of disc)

Example:

Audio Track  1, LBA        0 -    14887, Length    14888
Audio Track  2, LBA    14888 -    15484, Length      597
Audio Track  3, LBA    15485 -   226234, Length   210750
Audio Track  4, LBA   226235 -   226831, Length      597
Audio Track  5, LBA   226832 -   227278, Length      447

Session 1: 0-3487 -> (14887-11400)
Session 2: 14888-227278

--- We should not add Rev A, Rev B, Rev C to Dreamcast discs based on mastering code information only, as many of them have no known earlier revisions. Example: Virtua Striker 2 Ver.2000.1 is not Rev C even though mastering code is HDR-0045-0226C, as there are no known instances of -0226, -0226A or -0226B over many dumps. If there are known revisions, then we can use the letter to separate revisions in dat filename. We will not use any "Rev" denomination if there's no letter at all (ie, no "Rev 0" or similar). Example: House of the Dead 2: HDR-0007-0050 (no Rev used in filename), HDR-0007-0050A ("Rev A" in dat filename), HDR-0007-0050B ("Rev B" in dat filename)
