OK, I did that for you, with the SMNx40 ID, since the SMNx09 ID you listed is already in use by another game. (Sorry)

That game looks cool btw!

Thanks!!
BTW, I'm pretty extra sure SMNx09 is not used in any other game(SMNx40 is a bit weird)
Also, Am I able to edit the info in my hack page in Gametdb?
Also I want to upload the artworks(covers), they're not done yet. But I will finish them as fast as I can

SMNx09 is used by "Old Super Mario Bros. Wii":

http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/SMNE09

Editing that page to put your game information on isn't the best option, since that game uses that ID, so SMNx40 is an available slot that you can use instead.

You need to create an account to edit the pages and upload the covers here, you can take your time:

http://www.gametdb.com/Main/Login?action=signup

After uploading the covers, you may have to wait a few days for Lustar, the GameTDB Admin, to approve your covers on the site.

I already signed up in Gametdb long time ago(My name still: AboodXD)

Covers are not ready

So, I just want to know how to edit the info

Edit: Also, please have a look at this:

You can edit the pages by either clicking "Edit Information" in the top right corner of the page:

Or by clicking "Edit" here:

Please note that you have to be logged into GameTDB in order to edit the page.

Hope this helps!!

What's about a Wiimmfi support option in the online feature list for Wii + NDS + WiiWare games?

I'll ask Lustar about that...

To the dudes (still) building Wii 3D covers for GameTDB, here are some of the last missing Japanese covers:

- S72J01 - Hoshi No Kirby: 20th Anniversary Edition
- R3OJ01 - Metroid: Other M
- R96JAF - Kaze no Klonoa Door to Phantomile
- RQCJAF - Tabemon
- SVMJ01 - Super Mario Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition
- RMLJH4 - Metal Slug Complete

As I'm unable to make proper 3D covers, I hunted for front and back covers for each of those game in biggest size/quality available: http://videoff7.free.fr/wii_covers_jpn.zip
Hoping it helps,

TSR

Thanks TheShadowRunner. The 3D covers are generated automatically when uploading a front or full cover.

Are you sure?
For exemple I still can't find the 3D cover for:
http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/RQCJAF (although it's avalable in my .zip)

That one's missing the full high-quality cover. The 3D covers are the ones that are an angled perspective.

Oh ok, so none of the covers I provided were used I guess :S
But zorglub07 says "The 3D covers are generated automatically when uploading a front or full cover", i'm confused..

zorglub07 · Oct 25, 2015

"cover3D" is the version of the front with the perspective. When uploading a full cover (back/spine/front) the front is taken to get the cover and the 3D cover.
The fronts and backs from your zip would need to be assembled into full covers.

There are some (german) Gamecube ISO's which have a Game ID not listed (or have a different ID) on GameTDB. These are from an official redump.org archive.

GKZD54 - Codename: Kids next Door - Operation: V.I.D.E.O.S.P.I.E.L. (German)
GF4D52 - Fantastic Four (German)
GJND78 - Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius (German)
GQ4D78 - SpongeBob Schwammkopf - Die Kreatur aus der krossen Krabbe (German)

And last but not least:
Can be set there unique ID's for "all" Triforce game ISO's on GameTDB? Like for all versions (or even revisions) of Virtua Striker. Most of them share the same matching ID. Wouldn't it be better to set them all their own and put (or create) their covers and infos so loaders can download them?

Larsenv · Dec 6, 2015

Thanks, I'll add those IDs.

Ask Lustar about the other part.

Hey guys, any idea what is the most easy way is for someone (with no image editing experience) to create a gametdb cover (for the front 3d view)?
I got the full cover and a 3D template... and paint.net. The gameTDB title btw is Trine 2: The directors cut.

Etheboss · Jan 2, 2016

Thanx @AbdallahTerro , but the one i am looking for is the Wii U title cover and this says WiiWare.

EDIT: i know, same picture..but i like it as accurate as possible.
EDIT2: so what is the trick to get the cover nicely fit into the 3d box?

TheShadowRunner · Jan 2, 2016

All these years later (HNY btw!), I still would love to see these missing Wii titles to be added to TDB:
- S72J01 - Hoshi No Kirby: 20th Anniversary Edition
- R3OJ01 - Metroid: Other M
- R96JAF - Kaze no Klonoa Door to Phantomile
- RQCJAF - Tabemon
- SVMJ01 - Super Mario Collection: 25th Anniversary Edition
- RMLJH4 - Metal Slug Complete

Abdallah or experienced cover builders, if you have a little spare time..

lol the original one was for WiiU and I edited the picture
to make 3d cover I use the 2d cover and any old 3d cover, open them both in paint shop pro and copy/paste/resize/save

DonsSword · Jan 3, 2016

A couple of Wii covers I made for games that didn't have entries at gametdb.com. All work is derivative, actual attributions belong to someone else--I'm just a cut-n-paste artist. Enjoy:

Super Mario Wars [SMWC] (derived from a GBA cover I found)
I have a channel I made for this floating around somewhere. I'll edit this post when I locate it.

Mother 1+2+3 [WMH1] (derived from box art supplied by the creator)
