Hacking GameTDB - game information database + covers

[Tagg7]

Seems like a lot of the recently uploaded discs are in fact custom instead of retail (especially all those Japanese ones). I'll point out any specific games I find. It would be nice if there was a delete button so we could easily get rid of incorrect artwork (perhaps enabled just for major contributors?).

/edit: Also, I made a mistake when I added the NTSC Little King's Story. The game ID is RO3EXJ, not RO3E99. Could you please change that?

Keep up the good work.

This is an awesome project.

He uploaded a whole lot of custom discs, and only uploaded them as originals when there already was a custom disc, practically all were Japanese discs.
RO3EXJ has been fixed, and you should see a delete check box now

I fixed RQTP6U, but custom full covers are ok as long as there is no original cover available.
Thanks for all the uploads, enjoy your holidays

this doesnt seem to be working for me with USB Loader GX. I just 'updated' all and when I hit the button the game info screen pops up but its blank.
Am I missing something? I'm running GX off External Harddrive

Check if you have wiitdb.zip on your SD card and check if the games are there. If you don't see anything it could be because you don't have the file, or because the games you have are not in the database (you can open wiitdb.zip and check). If you don't see any synopsis and you have your Wii set to French, set the Game language to French in the options.

I don't know how no one has noticed but the OP has the wrong link for the cover art. The NTSC cover art and disc art are the same exact link to the same exact file.

Can someone please update the OP or post a correct link to the download the cover art?

Thank you.

I guess nobody noticed because most people download covers from the loaders, it's fixed now.

[concave35]

Can't figure out how to upload a better image (replacing an old one).

bump

 

[tj_cool]

bump

and why?

 

[Benjay]

**NVM**

 

[Benjay]

And why not ? ^^
I just want it to stay on the first page , so everyone can find it easily , and ask their questions here , instead of the loader GX thread for example.

And i've added 46 new missing FR fullcovers.

Is it enough to bump it ?

hi i have a general question about wiitdb.xml.

Is there a possibility to execute a line break in the description of the game?

There are some command? (e.g
, \n or other)

The file already contains the line breaks, when filling information on the site you don't need to add anything special.
Line breaks were not supported in Loader GX but it will be added in the next revision.

I have a request if this is not already possible.

Can we get the cover via really short alias, in other words shrink the url?

Example: http://wiitdb.com/wiitdb/artwork/cover/US/RHKE18.png
Shorten: http://wiitdb.com/wdb/a/c/US/RHKE18.png

Thanks WiiTDB.
