Methodology
This unofficial historical archive documents how observed cover-disc title rows become game clusters, how exclusions are audited, and how uncertainty remains visible.
What the dataset is
The dataset separates observed CBS title rows, clustered public game records, enriched canonical metadata, and audit files.
What was excluded
Utilities, editors/SDKs, guide media, and disc-noise rows are removed from the canonical public game catalog but remain available through audit files.
Match states
- Matched: a canonical match survived the audit rules.
- Ambiguous: multiple plausible targets remain or the match was too weak.
- Unmatched: no trustworthy canonical target is published.
Data quality score
The data quality score is a heuristic summary combining content class, merge confidence, canonical match state, link presence, and match demotions.
