R46ENS - Phantom Brave: We Meet Again & Cosmic Family ! Old covers still showing after adding the new ones? If you download the covers for this game ,you will get my correct ones. Just for some reason the old ones never changed to the new on the wiitdb page!

Would any one be interested in a complete NTSC covers pack that includes: covers, 3D covers, full covers, disc covers, and custom disc covers? I just downloaded all US covers from the games listed in the titles.txt file. I think the total is around 1500 games. Now not all games have all 5 covers, so you get what the site has to offer. This is for people who don't have the internet for their Wii. If there is enough demand, I will upload a link!

My CFG Configurable Loader isn't picking up Wii Party (SUPP01) although I can see it on the Wiitdb site, how can I manually download it?

is there any way to fix incorrect info on the site?
RPWZ41 is a ntsc game, it has esrb rating, but the value is 3 ( like a pegi rating ).

RVYE52 says it allows 8 players

i dont know if these are true, but excitebots says it allows 6 online players, and COD: MW says 10 online players, which just sound incorrect.

I've fixed the Prince of Persia rating , and the number of players for World at war.

I've checked , and Excitebots allows up to 6 players online , and Moden Warfare up to 10 players.

there are lots of errors in the gamecube accessories. misspellings, inconsistencies, and what seems to be false information.

i have a program which pases the database and i have it spit out whenever it finds something that it doesnt recognize or something that seems wrong. heres what it gave me when it looked up all the gamecube games in my partition.

in most cases, i have it giving the ID.
Code:
"GENE69" requires gba 
"GEZE8P" requires gba 
unhandled shit:: "GB4E51" "logitec force feedback" :ÂÂtrue 
"GPDE51" requires gba 
unhandled shit:: "GY2E01" "bongo dk" :ÂÂtrue 
"GCCE01" requires gba 
"GFEE01" requires gba 
bad filename: "GFXE5D" ":/images/gc9.png" 
unhandled shit:: "G4GEE9" "gamboy advance" :ÂÂtrue 
bad filename: "GP7E01" ":/images/gc8.png" 
"GM6EE9" requires gba 
"GR8E69" requires gba 
unhandled shit:: "GXRE08" "gamboy advance" :ÂÂtrue 
unhandled shit:: "GM8E01" "gamboy advance" :ÂÂtrue 
"PRJE01" requires gba 
"GPTE41" requires gba 
"GRHE41" requires gba 
"GROE5Z" requires gba 
"GSNE8P" requires gba 
"GXBE69" requires gba 
"GLRE64" requires gba 
"GSWE64" requires gba 
"GCEE41" requires gba 
"GCJE41" requires gba 
"GT7E41" requires gba 
"GWWE01" requires gba

basically what this list says is that there are like 30 games i have that require a gameboy advance. i cant imagine any game for the gamecube that would require a gameboy. the "unhandled shit::" messages are spit out when the tag doesnt match what it should be. ( "bongo dk" should be "dk bongo" & "gamboy advance" should be "gameboy advance"... ).

the "bad filename" is saying that there is a game that says it has 8/9 players. a gamecube only has 4 controllers, so i dont see how a game would have more players than that.

in fact, i think every accessory in every gamecube game is set to "required". i havent seen any games that supports gba, bongos, or the force feedback that doesnt say they are required.

anyways, this is just what it scraped from my list of games. theres probably a lot more where these came from.

Well, Mario Kart:DoubleDash can be played through LAN, to accept 8 players (Both GC connected at once).

Just to clarify something, if there it needs to.

Zelda Four Swords (GC) require GBA to be plugged or it wont work. *Last time I tried, that happened at least*

there are separate fields for the number of players, and the number of online players. these 8/9 whatever should be in the online field if that is the case.

the fact is that gameboy advance is put in other section taht WiiTDB show in req. accessories in place of accessories maybe Lustar need to add DK bongo and gameboy advance to accessories where we can indicate if they are requested or not

Any chance there could be a version of titles.txt using only plain-jane utf-8 or whatever text? There are several titles in titles.txt that are broken by having 0xc2a0 instead of 0x20 for a space.

These look normal when viewed in a text editor or something, but when using Wiimms' toolset and the titles.txt from wiitdb, it creates issues.

this will cause the tools to write games to the HDD using these goofy names instead of the correct ones.
