PS3 List: Thumbs.db files in US PS3 Discs

[AlexRhine]

Following this thread I made about Thumbs.db files, I decided to modify the script I used to find all empty folder in PS3 Discs to find all Thumbs.db files that were included in original PS3 discs. These files may be accidentally ignored when making ISOs on a Windows PC, and thus may lead to errors when launching a game (especially if the file needs to be installed as game data on first boot). It is a much shorter list than the one for empty folders, so I'll post it here instead of attaching a file:

Note_1: This was generated using a backup of jonnysp's ird library, so some of these may be incorrect. I'll re-run the tests once I find a more trustworthy source for IRD files. And as before, I only ran the script on a single version of each game, so there may some differences b/w versions that aren't listed here.

Note_2: Apparently, old versions of PS3 ISO Tools included Thumbs.db files by mistake, which was fixed on v2.1.1. Though, the bug may be of advantage to anyone needing to build an ISO for these games on Windows. On Linux, vanilla (CLI-v1.9) makeps3iso doesn't ignore the files; not sure if that is the case for the Windows version (anyone feel free to try it and report; use a program to list the files in your ISO or mount it).

Is any of these games confirmed that breaks if these files are removed?

I doubt that these games use a Windows file (Thumbs.db) for anything.
Indeed you can rip the files of many games without break them (always that you replace them with a file of 0 bytes).

I only know of Splinter Cell Trilogy, which was discussed here, but it seems that it doesn't really matter what the file actually contains, only that it is present. So one could probably replace these with 0 byte files files if necessary (though, building the ISO with latest PS3 ISO Tools will apparently ignore the files even if they are present).
