-Where do the images for .cias come from? - From icons of cia game that you see in home menu
-Can you associate the .cia to the pid.txt instead of the titleid.txt? - You can, THAT'S is interesting question. If we could do it, then we wont need to double create txt for 3ds and cia files
-Does the wiki have to be updated with the titleid for this to work? - Nope, need to be updated 3ds windows extension



And yes, region patches meter, i have original hyrule warriors and patched (fixed) for us\eur
Original apear great, but fixed have different tittle id and because of it don't show info
And what's is this save support?


What was wrong in this txts? cia (000400000017D500) and 3ds (BZHJ) shows normal for me... Yeah, i forgot about original pid in cia BZHJ, but game only show info from it and for file it use number 000400000017D500.

If after overwriting it don't appear, then it's normal. You need restart pc or reinstall 3ds win. extension
If you want help and create info for cia roms then:
1. Create txt with number of game (Lets look on HW) "000400000017D500.txt"
2. Open and edit it like that:

PID: 000400000017D500 - Matters, game id on 3ds like name of txt
PID-Original: BZHJ - For easy find, matters
Title: Zelda Musou Hyrule Allstars - Not matters, but i like it. Because same roms have name like fagasfwe
Region: JP - Not matters, but i REALLY thinks that it is matters... For me :)
Date: 2016-01-21 - Not matters, but i like it
Rating: B - Not matters, but i like it
Publisher: Koei Tecmo Games - Not matters, but i like it
Boxshot: BZHJ.jpg - Matters, name of boxshot in boxshot folder
Barcode: 4988615081125 - Not matters, but i like it
ProgramId: 000400000017D500 - Don't matters. Well, like name of txt

3. Create cover from 3ds game with size 182x182 and in BZHJ.jpg format
4. Place txt and jpg in folders
5. Reboot explorer.exe (reboot pc - reinstall 3ds win. extension)

I figured it was the game icon, thanks! And yes, I know how to make the .txt file and direct it to the correct .jpg file, I did that to test out my theory, like I said in my other post! The problem is that I would have to create a new .txt for every game, or better yet, update the wiki using the titleID like Favna is doing, since the database would be updated and the .txt files would be created automatically! That's why I wanted to know if there was an easier way to associate the .cia to the pid.txt!

Lastly @brennerei the reason your HW:Legends works is probably because I carefully added it on the Wiki :^) Like the help page of the wiki literally states, for .cias the PID has to be the TitleID. The TitleID can be found on http://www.3dsdb.com/ Thus the entire lot for the cia of HW:Legends is:

{{Gameinfo |
PID = 000400000017D500 |
PID-Original = |
Title = Zelda Musou Hyrule Allstars |
Region = JP |
Date = 2016-01-21 |
Rating = B |
Publisher = Koei Tecmo Games |
Boxshot = BZHJ.png |
Barcode = 3DS eShop |
ProgramId = 000400000017D500 |
}}

whereas the one for the .3ds is:

{{Gameinfo |
PID = BZHJ |
PID-Original = CTR-BZHJ-JPN |
Title = Zelda Musou Hyrule Allstars |
Region = JP |
Date = 2016-01-21 |
Rating = B |
Publisher = Koei Tecmo Games |
Boxshot = BZHJ.png|200px|thumb|
Barcode = 4988615081125 |
ProgramId =  |
}}

It literally came down to reading and understanding help page on the wiki which was actually really easy to grasp

Ah yes, I know that it was because you did that, I thanked Makein for doing that, but I actually meant to thank you!! (: Your entries are what make this work for both .3ds and .cia!
So I'm guessing that, right now, the only way to make this work correctly is to update the wiki with the PID as the titleID the way you did, huh! That's going to be a lot of work! Might try editing the wiki later if I have some free time!
Lastly, thanks for updating the wiki with some more cia versions! You're awesome!
EDIT: added cia entries in the wiki for:

Spoiler

-New Super Mario Bros 2
-Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon

There were added already by me o-O

Edit: nvm I checked the change log and you only updated the boxshot on the european one for PSMD and I can see I derped on the USA cia version of NSMB2.

 

[Makein]

Here files that wiki don't have. If somebody have time add this on wiki.

It would be better if 3ds extension pick up covers for cia by product id from 1 file that 3ds already use :\

Yeah, sorry! I edited so much that I couldn't remember exactly what I did, so I just said I added cia versions for them! Anyways, like you said, NSMB2 was a derped entry, so I fixed that, and I added the boxshot for the EU Pokemon (I don't know exactly why I did, I know it's unreleased, but I guess I just wanted to guarantee it had one )

Wiki update:

Added

• Fire Emblem Fates: Birthright (3ds and cia) (US)
• Fire Emblem Fates: Conquest (3ds and cia) (US)

An awesome person uploaded cias of the 2 on that site so i was able to find the titleid (conquest has 0004000000179600 and birthright has 0004000000179400. ProductIDs in same order are BFYE and BFXE)

Honestly amazed that the whole thing with wiki managed to not destroy itself.

Anyway, I see the predicament you guys are having with duplicating metadata files for CIA and 3DS.

I made some experimental edits to code, and now at expense of having to read the whole database when the extension starts (which is, well, not very expensive), it will use ProgramId field in the metadata file to identify CIA files.

So instead of having two metadata files, AFEE.txt and 00040000000A0500.txt for Fire Emblem: Awakening, you only need one - AFEE.txt - as long as that file has ProgramId: 00040000000A0500 line in it.

I say experimental because I didn't extensively test it. If you want to try going at it, here are links:

I love you! Would test it on my weekends

Thanks for this! It'll make things a lot easier!
I found a small bug though. The CIA files will only be identified if it has the exact programId, case sensitive. For example, Project X Zone 2 has a ProgramId
0004000000160c00 (as shown on the windows details page), but the BX2E.txt has the programId as 0004000000160C00 (note the uppercase C). This causes the CIA to not be identified and not display the boxart. Mega Man Legacy Collection works fine, since it has only numbers in the ProductId. Anyway to make it not case sensitive? I'm guessing most, if not all, ProductIds in the wiki are uppercase but for some reason, when reading the CIA, the letters are lowercase.
Thanks and great work! (:

Well not big trouble

 

[brennerei]

Well not big trouble

It kind of defeats the whole purpose of the update if the CIA continues to not get recognized! If it stays this way, the wiki would have to be updated with the duplicated metadata files, which I guess is what AUTOMATIC is trying to stop!

If somebody want update wiki, they need look for name and if it already have id then fix it

 

[AUTOMATIC1111]

All right.

1.7.1 has case insensitive ProgramId matching.

Thank you so much!! It works great!
Now it's time to remove all the duplicate entries from the wiki, lol!
EDIT: updated all of my games on the wiki (and a few more) and it seems to associate perfectly! Everything is showing up nicely! Thanks a lot!!

 

[Argentlan]

only some cia files show the original icon and others don't show nothing, why?

 

[brennerei]

Just some cia files show the original icon and others don't show nothing, why?

Are you using the latest version? (1.7.1)
Are you using the latest image database?
Even if you are, it is possible that database just isn't updated for that specific game! It has most popular games, but there are still a lot missing! If you can, check the wiki and update the ones you're missing, it's very easy to do! (:
