How do you know the ID used by official game?
that website doesn't provide them, and future games can use ID already chosen for homebrew.

Like I asked on the previous page, isn't it better (less collision possible) to use TitleID prototype or evaluation range?
Code:
TITLE TYPE 	UNIQUE ID RANGE
System 		0x0 - 0x2FF
Application 	0x300 - 0xF7FFF
Evaluation 	0xF8000 -0xFFFFF
Prototype   	0xFF000 - 0xFF3FF

All the games I quoted are on the eShop. You just have to look at the order of releases to see that they're being assigned in relative order.
Look at the 0x3XX range, it starts with many launch titles. Kid Icarus' Uprising is 0x300-302, and is known to be one of the earliest 3DS games in development.
A year or so ago, games were barely crossing 0x1000. Recently they've reached 0x1600.
You also shouldn't trust that just because a game isn't on a random site doesn't mean it's not already assigned, since demo carts, event demos and internal use ROMs have also been assigned unique IDs. (I have seen all of these cases. :)) They won't turn up on any site, any time soon.

I'll give you an example.
EU/US Tomodachi Life unique IDs have been on the Savedata Backup blacklist since 2013. This is because they were assigned back then. If they were assigned in 2014, they would've been in the 0x1XXX range already.
For safety, at least the first 0x1700 should be avoided, and probably more.
Promoting the prototype/evaluation range works great, but the way things are now, there are definitely doubles being created, as in my last post.

This needs to be in the OP.

    Wish they would let us play the NCAA football 14 on newer xbox, its one of the only games I love and own on disc still, that is not back compatible, bs.
  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
