Redump.org is a trustworthy site dedicated to disc preservation across many different consoles; its archives can be considered close to the title's cover in validity. When there's no good cover scans available for a title, this is the next most verifiable source for IDs available. The site itself also includes some helpful formatting, such as showing region flags next to the IDs in the database and listing title languages to pinpoint where European IDs had their release. Redump's main flaws are: a) it only includes GameCube titles, no Wii data is available; b) it doesn't document publisher data, so piecing together the last two character publisher ID is challenging. In conclusion, Redump is a great place to check outlier GameCube IDs, but does not contain enough information on its own to be a primary source.
