Before You Submit

  • Remember to try the latest WIP build to see if the feature already exists.
  • Is it copy protection related? If so, report the issue here instead.
  • .NET 6.0 has known limitations, so make sure that what you're asking for isn't already in another build.
  • Check previous issues to see if any of those are related to what you're about to ask for.

If none of those apply, then continue...

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Many dumpers are submitting the discs with new disc form on redump, copying and pasting the "None Found" in the Protection field if there's no copy protection detected on the disc.

Describe the solution you'd like
Something that could save time for everyone involved is to add a message to tell everyone to NOT copy that part of the text if there's no protection detected. Something like "None Found [OMIT FROM SUBMISSION]" or [OMIT IN YOUR NEW DISC SUBMISSION].

Describe alternatives you've considered
Other proposed updates might be [DON'T INCLUDE THIS IN THE NEW DISC FORM], [OMIT IN NEW DISC FORM], or something along those lines, as long as people understand the message, everything else is good for me.

Additional context
Exceptions to open files while scanning for disc protections should also remind the user to scan the game files manually to be 100% sure that the disc is not protected.
