Redump's mission is not to create a library of playable game files, but rather to create a catalog of digital blueprints. For every known game disc, Redump aims to document a set of cryptographic hashes (checksums)—like CRC32, MD5, and SHA-1—that act as unique digital fingerprints for that specific version of the disc. These hashes, along with other metadata like serial numbers, ring codes, and copy protection types, are stored in the database. This information is made freely available, allowing anyone with a physical disc and the right equipment to independently dump, or "rip," their copy and verify that it is an authentic, error-free 1:1 copy.
The project is strictly a metadata database. It does host or distribute the actual game data, ROMs, or ISOs. This is a critical distinction that underpins its legal and ethical stance.

To solve this, Redump enforces three core philosophical tenets: Redump's mission is not to create a library
A massive project aiming to catalog everything —including every firmware version, bad dump, hack, and homebrew software, primarily for vintage home computers like the Amiga, Commodore 64, and early PCs. How to Get Involved and Contribute
We are losing the war against entropy. CD-Rs from the early 2000s are already becoming coasters. Pressed discs from the late 80s are delaminating. This information is made freely available, allowing anyone
