Filetrip cleanup.

Specifically the DS cheats section.
It's so full of so many slightly-modified cheat files for so much crap nobody cares about that it's hard to find the real stuff.

I mean I could list examples, but it's almost everything. Am I the only one that feels this way?

Yes I know staff doesn't have the time for this crap, but could users have a way to vote on files, and down votes would lower placement in search results, or something like that?

Am I allowed to flag something for being useless? Like the 4,844,558 cheat databases for the R4, all of which are superseded by the official gbatemp database?

Yes, Flag->Delete this file->Give specific reason for deletion in dialog.

 

[smallyfish]

Is there other net for cheat files other than cheats.gbatemp.net?

 

[Rydian]

cheats.gbatemp.net links to a forum where people post codes, so if you don't want to wait for the database to get updated you can just grab them from there

If you're looking for codes to cheat online, we don't condone that.

with the r4 cheats, i think that we should get costello involved. we currently have to do things one file at a time. i don't want to delete or disable 1,000 files 1 at a time.

No? You can perform operations on multiple file groups in one category at a time.

In addition to this, there are less than 400 cheat file groups total. As I assume some amount of them will remain, it really doesn't seem like a particularly difficult task.

This account has uploaded 4014 files in one day. Probably with some kind of script.
I can see he has duplicated a lot of files included all ez5 kernels already uploaded by FAST6191 and i.

If a moderator can get an eye or two on this.
Thanks.

Not needed, Costello was the one who helped him do that.

No need ? we keep duplicate files ?
I don't get the point.

Right, I misunderstood you. Yeah, that might need to be looked at.

What I meant was the Costello was the one who helped him upload his collection of firmware files in so short time.

Ah ! ok.

I understand, but now we have probably a lot of duplicate files.

edit : I just edited my previous post. Added some link to those dupe.
