Hacking GameTDB - game information database + covers

[Skizzo]

Yod4z did i say anything abotu uplaod them to wiitdb .. nooo.. that is why i put them in a zip file for him ..

if you look good, there is over 40 custom covers on Wiitdb already ,, you better do your job and delete them ..

Over 40? And you can't name a single fucking one so they can be removed? That reeks of assholery...

hope they let us put up covers for vc games after v5 of 3isos is done. Its all original images directly from the channel.

You can upload full
About the existing forwarder entries and covers, they will be modified to the real channel IDs if loaders add support for the shorter IDs. So there is no need to create new pages for those, they will probably be renamed soon.

As far as I know in every loader you can configure the download URLs to use 4 digit Title IDs. If the plan ends up being to add 00 to the end of all these let me know so I can make 3isos do the same when creating the TF/CD/2d/3d/FULL covers from wads.

Shouldnt be long before v5 is done far enough to generate excellent covers, but im sure some bugs will be found, and changes will be made.

I wish there was a way for WiiTDB to allow uploading of covers for review if there is a cover already in that slot of the database, so that the new one could be chosen to replace it if it seemed more "official" looking.

it is possible since a long time ^^
if a cover exists , and you think you have a better one , upload it , we have a pending system , so we can compare and replace if needed

Our app (3 ISO'S Studio V5) can create covers in different language
English Français, Español, Deutsch, Italiano, Nederlands

If someone uploads covers, created with "3 ISO'S Studio" (old version) Then, I can only say delet it

Here is the difference

Spoiler

"3 ISO'S Studio" (old version)

"3 ISO'S Studio" V5

The same goes for CDs ..

here's a better quality SNES logo at high res, also includes a SVG version for lossless scalability if needed as the one your currently using has a cream ting on the background, i noticed it a while back when ISO forwarders where first out but thought you might of sorted it in 3 ISO's, just thought i'd share the luv lol

thanks but my question is where to put wiitdb, offlinelist and titles.txt.
and after that how can i see the infos of the game in the usb loader.
finally i don't have wireless internet, so i must actualise via PC

 

[Yod4z]

For USB Loader GX, it is explains in the readmii (http://usbloadergx.koureio.net/help/readmii)
"
You can show the game info by highlighting a game (don't press A, just point) and pressing 2. The data for the game info is stored in wiitdb.zip. There are two ways to get this file:
-Update with the loader and select update all or update wiitdb, it will also be updated if you update the full channel.
-If you have no wifi, go to the game info screen of any game. Press 1 and you will see the text at the bottom change. Go to the file it shows and copy the URL. Then open the url with a web browser to download the wiitdb.zip
"
You have to put wiitdb.zip on your SD card, in the folder you have set in the USB Loader GX options. You don't need the offlinelist version or titles.txt for this loader.

GameCube games can now be added on the site

 

[djbubba2002]

I am adding the gamecube covers HQ all of them .. should take some time , but we will get them ..

 

[Yod4z]

WiiTDB could be renamed to BigNTDB ^^

 

[djbubba2002]

lol,, it should be renamed.... Yod4z IF you can , just go over what i am doing, bc i am uplaoding them , i dont want to missing anything..

 

[Tagg7]

Nice job on adding Gamecube games to the site. You are probably planning on adding these things, but I thought I'd point them out just in case - it seems that you currently can't search for Gamecube games, and you can't add disc artwork or custom disc artwork to GC games yet.

This site is becoming THE resource for all Nintendo covers now, lol!

 

[djbubba2002]

They are still working on the disc.. that is why we anit puttin them up yet ..

i am only doing , HQ and Front covers for gamecube..

 

[ursie]

Why can't we register anymore with WiiTDB ? I have some additions of games where they don't seem to have Dutch Menu's/Dutch Spoken when in fact they are !

Thnx for the reply
