If your dump is new to the database, you will be credited, and the community will work to verify it.
The name "Redump" stems from the core philosophy of the group: to dump optical discs multiple times to verify accuracy. Video games stored on CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays are prone to data degradation, scratches, and read errors. Unlike standard ROM hacking or casual ISO ripping, Redump enforces strict guidelines to ensure that every single byte matches the original retail release.
Redump was established to solve this "data drift," ensuring that the digital copy exactly matches the data layout of the physical master disc.
: Import the .dat file into a ROM management tool like Romcenter or ClrMamePro. Scan your local game folder to see which files are perfect matches and which are corrupted or bad dumps.
