Configurable USB Loader now supports unicode and we have the ability to support the O with macron in the title of Ōkami (as well as the star in Captain ★ Rainbow and the bullet in WALL•E). Is it possible to add a version of titles.txt that includes this change to Ōkami?

I've been debating whether or not to even suggest this, but maybe we can open a short discussion on the topic.

How about adding a SAVE GAME FILE to each page? I know there is a list of CON's for this a mile long, but there are some PRO's as well.
The other day I had a friend come over to play some wii, and we starting playing Rayman's Raving Rabbits TV Party, and spent the better part of an hour waiting to unlock some great games. Spent another hour searching for a save game that would unlock all the mini-games with no luck. So we give up and started playing Mario Kart, and somehow my save-game was deleted, and I no longer had all the cars/drivers/tracks....

I know it's almost needlessly complicated, but what do you guys think?

how would you decide what games were the best ones to put on the server? it seems like a can of worms that is best left unopened to me. wiisave.com is always there.

Configurable USB Loader now supports unicode and we have the ability to support the O with macron in the title of ?kami (as well as the star in Captain ? Rainbow and the bullet in WALL•E). Is it possible to add a version of titles.txt that includes this change to ?kami?That's great news

The database has always used Unicode, there's no need for a different version.
"Captain ? Rainbow" and "WALL•E" are already spelled like this, but ?kami was left as Okami in the database because the default USB Loader GX font doesn't have ?, even though it has been supporting Unicode for a long time now. I'll change it soon.

as giantpune said, this is a can of worms and is unlikely to hapen, at least for now.

thanks

register(it's free) , and create it

it's just as simple as that.

 

[djbubba2002]

yeah , i did that .. i didnt know if you needed too

 

[Benjay]

wiitdb is like a wiki , everyone who is registered can add content

do you still have the coverfull of my horse and me 2 in a igh resokution ? (i mean more than 1024x680)
if so , send it to me by PM , so i can overwrite front cover and 3D cover with it , because they are differents of yours

And in the mean time , it will create a HQ cover (1024x680).

 

[djbubba2002]

All the HQ COVERS I did , is on FTP , under bubba's covers .. go look on there


I will put it in your folder ,,on FTP .. look in there

 

[Benjay]

that's ok , it's now online on wiitdb

 

[djbubba2002]

Go in to my folder , and look at them and put them on line..

 

[Benjay]

No , Zorglub will do it.
he can transfer them from your directory to the correct folder on the FTP.
Me , i have to download them , and upload on the site

 

[djbubba2002]

ok , i didint know .. more to come ...still working on them

. I only suggested the separate version as it will likely mess up those loaders that still won't display the ?. Sorting could be an issue for those loaders too.

Hey,

this is a great project and I'd love to contribute, especially as I want all my full covers to be readable so I prepared several covers in much higher quality than they are currently available (I created them as 1024x680, are even higher resolutions allowed/wished do they make sense?)

But somehow I can't register on the site, I mean I register but the confirmation email never arrives, although I tried different email accounts.

About cover replacements: is this thread the right place to offer higher quality replacements or how should I go about that?

When you upload a file bigger than 1024x680, the HQ version is automatically created as well as the regular full cover. Only the HQ version will be available, but all uploads are kept in case a bigger resolution is needed one day. You don't need to resize your files at all.
To suggest a replacement, you can contact Benjay or myself. If you have a lot to add you could upload to the ftp.
Look into your junk/spam folder, the mail may be there. Else, contact me with your info and I'll register you.

 

[Yakomo]

Damn, I swear I checked the spam folder and the mail wasn't there! But now I checked again and suddenly there it was

Anyway, I am finally registered and ready to contribute. For starters I created 1024x680 covers for these games, which are only available at 512x340:

R43E69 - EA Sports Active - NTSC-U
RE4E08 - Resident Evil Archives - NTSC-U
RE4P08 - Resident Evil Archives - PAL-FR
RJ8E64 - Indiana Jones And The Staff Of Kings - NTSC-U
RWSP8P - Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games - PAL-DE
RZDP01 - Zelda Twilight Princess - PAL-DE
SXAE52 - GuitarHero-WorldTour - NTSC-U

This one was already available in 1024x680, but colors were washed out and needed fixing:

RWSP8P - Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games - PAL-EN

They are ready to be used in 1024x680 dimension, file format png, dust removed, rotation and color corrected. All are the official covers, not custom

How should I best submit these? I think it would be great if 1024x680 covers would overwrite existing 512x340 covers, or maybe an "fullcoverhd" option as suggested before?
