Description
taking a look at the conflicting PSP databases (nointro/redump) it looks like redump contains more entries for all regions except for Japan, Korea and France. redump is generally the defacto for disk based media. Is it possible to remove all regions except Japan, Korea and France from the nointro database, so redump will take over all other regions.

Research direction
Begin by locating the path that converts the No-Intro and Redump XML outputs into generated DAT files. Compare the region entries and determine how source ownership is configured, especially for Japan, Korea, France, and the remaining regions. Done means the intended regions come from the selected source without conflicting duplicate entries.
