I'm on 5.3.0 beta 11. This is happening only with Scummvm games.
It only shows game ID, Snapshot (when available), and Players:255. No release, genre, cart_disk image etc... at all.
@Wiimpathy it happens even if I delete gametdb_offsets.bin

fixed it. will be releasing soon.
basically I used m_plugin.pluginMagicWord to get the platformName. but certain functions caused pluginMagicWord to change to a different plugin. which caused game info to not find the game in the xml because it was the wrong xml.

Here is my updated database for Dosbox and Scummvm games.
Download
IMPORTANT NOTE (please read): I changed some game names, and I know that not everyone will agree with my choices. I wanted games from the same series to sit next to each other, in order to do that I had to rename some game names in the database (e.g. "Riven: the sequel to Myst" ---> "Myst 2 - Riven" or "The Curse of Monkey Island"---> "Monkey Island 3 - The Curse of Monkey Island").
In the Dos database I included source ports games from other plugins (Eduke32, and Prboom). No sense in leaving them all by themselves, or trying to run them in Dosbox at perfect speed (impossible on the wii).
One final note: when you update the database ini and xml files, remember to always delete the respective 'gametdb_offsets.bin' and let Wiiflow recreate it.
Updated / added games:
So, if you don't like these names, edit the ini and xml files in plugin_data, and rename your png files in cart_box and snapshots folders accordingly.

Here is the database for the PC Engine Supergrafx.

I've also posted in Mastershoe's cover thread the full set of supergrafx covers.

Thanks. However, the DOS.xml you posted is malformed. Not sure it's working properly in Wiiflow. 1 closing tag is missing:
<title>Pinball Dreams Deluxe/title> should be <title>Pinball Dreams Deluxe</title>
On linux, there's xmllint to check xml validity, something similar should exist on Windows too.

That's too bad, I'm really sorry. I had no issues in Wiiflow. Thanks, I will correct it and check supergrafx too
Little update, see Wiiflow_Database_V3.zip attached in the opening post.
- 3 new databases: CREATIVISION, GAME & WATCH, SuperGrafx.
- Thomson TO5 fixed. It contained non ut8 characters.
In this post, you'll find a pack of images for Game & watch and SuperGrafx.
G&W need better images though.
For those who want to edit the databases and want to check their validity, there's xmlstarlet for Windows too.
No need to install anything. From command line, for example you type:
xmlstarlet val -w "e:\wiiflow\plugins_data\TO5\TO5.xml"

Thanks @Wiimpathy!
I had already included all images for Supergrafx's cart and snaps in my pack, though (I had to fix some of the Hucards cart images that were trimmed, like the one you posted)

About the SGFX, I also noticed that you removed the two Darius games (plus and alpha).
While it's true that they are PC engine games, they were designed to support the improved SGFX hardware, as advertised on their cover by the "PC-SG" logo. Thery're the only 2 games with this feature, so I think they should be both in the PCE and SGFX databases.
Ah, ok. I must admit that I just scraped the data and almost didn't check anything. Your SGFX database and images seem better but your link is dead. Would you mind re-uploading please?
Thanks for reporting it to me. I don't know what happened. I re uploaded it

Your images are nice. I think that your snapshots are actually better
My database is missing several crc numbers from yours. The fact is that I don't know how to find crc's for games. I tried that screenscraper.fr site but I cannot seem to navigate it. I just found a list of single crc numbers googling around and put it there.

hey guys, so in my plugins_data folder I have MSX2, MSX2+, MSXTURBO, PC9801, and SATELLAVIEW.
do I need those? and I have a plugin for PC8801 so what about a database for PC8801 instead of PC9801?
Oh and can I get rid of the MAME database?

All MSX should be merged. I've never bothered to look into this. There could be alt version for the same game, not sure...
Satellaview has also different data since the BS games could be really different. Problem is they have the same titles sometimes(Firemen). It's only useful if you have a Satellaview plugin to seperate it from the SuperNes.
Most of the Nec PC... databases are empty. It was left hoping we'll fill the info someday.
You can delete Mame. Everything is in Arcade now.

Here's a huge update to the databases and images. All images posted in the thread have been merged in the main snapshots and media archives.
All links updated in the opening post.
- New Nec PC8801 database (quasi88 plugin)
- New openBOR database
- All MSX merged.
- Merged Satellaview titles in Supernes.
- Remove MAME and merge data in ARCADE.
- INI: Some crcs added to Arcade.
- A lot of info added to most xmls.
- A lot of cart/disk images added.

1st post with link updated.
I've checked this stuff a thousand times but there are still things I forgot.
First the Wonderswan snapshots haven't been updated in the pack. They are shifted vertically, I don't why and where position is handled but it happens in Rhapsodii Shima theme at least. You still need these updated snaps : https://www.dropbox.com/sh/y6xnp7ldzbt1dz0/AAANEI4nj8I69BSeb3lvT5BAa?dl=0
It's too long to re-upload the whole pack.
In the cart pack, there are snaps instead (Megacd/PC-engine CD fo ex). The CD images aren't all so good either since I used imagemagick scripts to extract them. Result is sometimes approximate.

Latest WFL supported more PNG types, so you should be able to optimise all your snapshots and carriage images to make them smaller file size (quality stays the same) and reduce the size of your downloads/install.
Also, if you store all the images in a Google Drive it will be easy for you to keep them in sync/updated whilst users can still choose to download all as a zip.

Biggest problem is I spent a crazy(stupid?) amount of time on this. Uploading was too long and I'm not very patient.
The images are already compressed using posterization. Using index palette/colormap could reduce the size more indeed. But that'd mean degrading even more since I don't have the raw images anymore. If someone wants to help and upload a compressed pack, you're welcome!
No way that I use a google service if not forced to. That may be convenient and mediafire is surely another evil one but no thanks.

I will do this if someone can get me all the raw images or point me to them.
There are others services that allow storage of loose files and download as a single zip: MEGA, pCloud, etc.
Wiimpathy has a big download available.
