: Once a disc is ripped, its hashes (MD5, SHA-1) are compared against other submissions in the Redump database. If two different people dump the same disc and get the same hash, it is considered "verified." If a user finds a different hash, it may indicate a new revision or a bad dump. Why Bit-Perfect Dumps Matter
: Modern emulators are becoming so precise that they require exact replicas of disc timing and subchannel data to function correctly. redump

: Users often use specialized software like DicUI or command-line tools that interface with the drive at a low level.
: Discs are "dumped" (copied) multiple times by different users to verify that the resulting hash (digital signature) is identical across different physical copies.
