Over the years people have written thousands of game reviews for The Vault. Many are well written but just as many are garbage or people simply goofing off. That's why an approval system is in place to review the reviews. This system was crude and prone to breaking so it was often ignored, but new reviews keep on flowing and hundreds are still waiting in the queue. Some of them date back to 2006! Now the approval process has been revamped so it's quick and easy, and starting next week the review backlog will finally be tackled system by system. Thank you very much to everyone who has submitted a review over the years. You should see it soon!
In other Vault news the Dreamcast Vault is now crowdsourced. Additionally, .cue files are no longer required when uploading and will be supplied automatically. |

| The GameCube Vault now has every game in the world. Of the 1929 known discs only three are missing, and are now featured on the front page of the GameCube Vault for anyone to upload. Over time Redump will discover new discs or fix bad dumps, so each night an automatic scan will flag those games for the community to easily upload them. Consider the GameCube Vault a preview of what's to come for all of The Vault. |
