As a result of:

- redump pages containing incorrect information on if additional copy protection is actually active for a disc image.
- a need to document bypass support for each individual protected game in Tonyhax International.
- a desire to display how the same game released in different regions compare in additional copy protection.
- wanting to document the effects of the protection.

I have compiled the most accurate list of protected PSX games. This list is massive. There are still games that need to be documented to finish it.

I am planning on many more, there will be a whole documentation section on my website soon.
Wonder if you might've looked at the LibCrypt source code and maybe documented the inner workings. Or have you done this already.
