 ==== Required Dump Info ====
-The most basic information necessary for verifying a game dump are the hashes/fingerprints generated from the ROM file as well as the dumping tool including hardware, firmware, and software version. **You can use [[https://www.romhacking.net/utilities/931/|GameHeader]] to get all this info in one go, on windows (or Linux/macOS using wine/mono)**. Or you can use common/built-in utilities:

 Size/hashes:

 Please note if you have modified the physical media in any way.
-DS/DSi/3DS dumps should include hashes for the originally dumped (encrypted) file, plus if it is a new ROM, the decrypted equivalent. Make a copy of the file, then use [[https://github.com/SabreTools/NDecrypt|ndecrypt]]. You can use the ''-h'' flag to hash the ROM at the same time as decrypting it, saving time. Note that wooddumper produces decrypted files by default, so re-encryption with ndecrypt is needed for that instead.
