Roughly 100% of newbies who try to contribute to Redump now are stopped dead in their tracks when they get to "ClrMamePro data" on the new disc form because nobody except old sceners like me uses clrmamepro or even knows what it is anymore.

We can't change the Redump site, so can we change:

Tracks and Write Offsets:
	DAT:

in the !submissionInfo.txt to something like:

Tracks and Write Offsets:
	DAT (aka ClrMamePro data):

or

Tracks and Write Offsets:
	DAT / ClrMamePro data:

?

Not as pretty but would cut down on the confusion a lot IMO.

The amount I dislike this is pretty major. I understand the hangup with new users, but I have strived to keep the submissioninfo in the order it goes on the page. I'll take this into consideration though I personally see this as a regression in naming.
