• 10/05/11: Today WiiTDB became GameTDB and we hope that together we will have as much fun creating new databases for new systems as we did for the Wii.

GameTDB is available for your favorite software:

Wii
- USB Loader GX (covers, titles, infos)
- Configurable USB Loader (covers, titles, infos)
- CoverFloader (covers, titles)
- WiiFlow (HQ covers, titles)
- uLoader (covers)

Windows
- Wii Backup Manager (covers, titles)
- WBFSSync (covers, titles, info)

Linux
- Wiithon (covers, titles, info)

This is a collaborative online database you can download from your Wii to display information about games in any loader or software that supports it.

You can browse the database and add game information and upload covers here (no need to convert or resize, it is done for you) http://www.gametdb.com


You can download and upload artwork for your region, 3D covers are now available for all regions:

You can find the whole FAQ here: http://www.gametdb.com/Main/FAQ

Thanks shadowvz96, to add a page you can login then go here http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/AddGame or directly to the page http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/XDXG00 and click Edit. It's not necessary to create 3D covers or add transparency to discs, you can upload the full cover and it will generate the front and 3D versions.

hey @Larsenv . You asking me? i've always had nintendont set up.

Yes, I was asking you.

I don't know how to help you with that, either ask on the USB Loader GX thread or Nintendont thread or ask the creator of the mod - this is an off-topic thread for help with that.

oh. i'm sorry @Larsenv . I forgot this was the wrong thread. however, i only posted in it because i made a post before about the cover i designed for gametdb and just happened to mention that i couldn't get the game to load. i apologize in advance.

Thanks for mantaining such an useful database!

I'm Ani from team RPCS3 (a PlayStation 3 emulator) and I'm responsible for mantaining our compatibility list at https://rpcs3.net/compatibility
I have crossed the data between GameTDB's PS3 database and our compatibility list and noticed your database is missing over 600 GameIDs.
Is there any way we can provide the list of GameIDs + Titles you're missing so they can be mass added or does one have to add them one by one using GameTDB's website?

You can find the crossover between databases at https://rpcs3.net/library

I'll be waiting your contact so we can hopefully contribute to it.

Hi Ani, thanks very much for offering your list of missing IDs. We can mass import them, I'm sending you a PM!

Is there a way to download all 3ds front covers like for Wii?
Not box covers, they low quality....

+I find that there alternative HQ cover for Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Don't find it on site and don't know code of game, but her it is

 

[GreyWolf]

Trauma Center: Second Opinion's title ID is RKDEEB. (Your cover has an ESRB rating on it so I'm guessing it's for NTSC-US)

 

[zorglub07]

Thanks for the suggestion k7ra, we'll consider adding packs for 3DS covers. If it's added it would the M size, but all covers can easily be downloaded in any size if needed. It's easy to add in any program that could have a use for the database. If you're the author of a program don't hesitate to send me a PM or email on the site.

No, I'm user that extend 3ds cover preview of games in windows explorer.
It's really take much time to get 1 by 1, not talking about adding info about games.

I fully reedited 427 games, plus there around 800 games that already added to db without CIA support and with wrong covers
And it's nice to have covers for games that I like in HQ

Dunno how big M size, but it would be great help!

Is the website down? I can't access it and can't download covers with USB Loader GX

Edit: I was able to access it using mobile data, but still can't access on my PC/Wi-Fi. That's strange since my connection is fine and every other site is working normally

 

[r1vver]

Full covers are not available in packs but everything can be accessed freely: you can use Wii Backup Manager, Witgui or Wiithon to download the covers for all your Wii/GC games, including full covers. The site is designed to make it easy to retrieve the content. It's also easy to upload if you'd like to provide some full covers, there's no need to rename, resize or convert before uploading.

But why full covers are not available in packs? I mean really, why?

 

[Larsenv]

But why full covers are not available in packs? I mean really, why?

The reason they are not in packs is to prevent people from downloading more stuff they don't need.

Hi!
I wanted to print some (around 90) Wii game covers. I didn't find online any other database so detailed with front covers anywhere else - but (i'm not sure) are the covers on GameTDB printable?
The Wii ones look super detailed but too low in resolution (even the HQ files) to be printed, hopefully i'm wrong.

Thanks!
