You have to apply for an account to do so but currently it's impossible since the captchas are broken and AUTOMATIC hasn't posted here in a while.
How do you get a rom to match and refresh? I have my pokemon sapphire rip named just saphire, so I need to name it the games ID? What else can I name it to match up? Then I have to restart my machine?

You shouldn't need to do anything to get it to match. If it's in the database, the image of the ROM/CIA should show up. It doesn't depend on the name of the file, as it reads the gameID/PID. If it isn't working, try getting the latest image database and see if the image for that game is there. Also, try reinstalling the extension, running as administrator if you haven't.
It's not that it's dead, but that it doesn't really need to be active. The images are updated at the database and while updates would be nice, they're not really necessary as the extension works almost perfectly. The thread is basically for people with questions on how to get it working or about missing images and for those who like to post what they updated on the database. (maybe posting a bug if they find it)

Right, forgot about that issue, my bad. Can't you edit as a guest though?
I don't think you can. Some CIAs show them, but it's not the normal behavior!
Wiki account creation should be working now.
Looks like they changed something on Google's side and wiki software had to be updated before capchas could be used again.
Sorry for this.

Successfully created an account, and I can upload files, but can't figure out how to create a new page.
EDIT: I guess I have to search for a non-existent page before creating it. Weird.

Thanks, I even thought I'm too stupid to download a database xD So.... How about bot debugging and running an update?
What is better?
Make changes to wiki pages and wait the bot to produce new database file..
or
Create info files and boxshot images, to update an "offline/personal" database?

Well, updating the wiki provides the images for all users and not just you, so that's nice. Also, the bot updates the databse every 15 minutes so it's not that long of a wait! I would only use the user/personal database to change something not everyone would want, like a custom boxshot or something along those lines.
Nice..
But, what about info files?
I'm working on the wiki page and updating some missing games. The bot is updating the database every 15 minutes, but not for info files.
Am I wrong about this? I want to help.
Info files are updated too. The latest.7z file comes with a boxshot and an info folder. If you update images, boxahot will be updated, if you update info, the text for that specific game will be updated in the info folder. That text file has to exist and be updated since it is the one that directs the correct boxshot to the game.
I found the problem of my question about the info files are not being updated the database on the wiki pages.
I was not setting the "ProgramId"

TwoSpikedHands:
yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done -
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?

Sicklyboy:
@TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one -
@
Sicklyboy:
I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version

@
TwoSpikedHands:
@Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!

@
TwoSpikedHands:
I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
-
@
TwoSpikedHands:
I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though

The Real Jdbye:
@TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway -
@
The Real Jdbye:
and realistically they wouldn't
be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves -
