Hacking GameTDB - game information database + covers

[zorglub07]

IS WiiTDB having strange problems at the moment or is it something else?We were making important changes to the site so it's perfectly normal. You may have noticed that the site runs better than ever now, downloads should be faster from the site and from your Wii

i consistantly get errors about files not being on the server, however when i go to wiitdb.com all the "missing" files are there. how can i fix this problem?Can you please list a few game IDs for those missing files so I can check?

the wiitdb.zip file just does not appear on my usbloader, the custom path i set for it is sd/config/ what must i do ?

You are probably trying to use the full file with USB Loader GX, which is not supported. You have to go to the main settings, Update, and download wiitdb.zip from there, or generate a URL from the game info page (press 2 then 1, then paste the URL from the generated file in your web browser).

Just would like to post it seems that title.txt cancels out after 40kb of the 100+kb file. Any idea what might cause this?

Thanks for reporting this, it should be fixed now.

Name Corrections:

Just noticed a couple of naming conventions gone astray

Hasbro : Family Game Night 3 (needs space before : removing - so it's like 1 and 2)
We Sing series (only Encore has a : in)

Do you want me to proof read the master list (it used to be my job - before I got old

)?

cheers

Hello, i live in a third world country, i have not Internet conection at home so i would like to download every cover to store them so i don't need to go to a cybercoffe with my HDD each time i install a game.

 

[MakiManPR]

where i can get 3D covers for Wiiflow 2.2 cuz all covers i download doesnt fit

 

[herudae]

@MakiManPR Just download Fullcovers and 2D Covers and Wiiflow makes the 3D effect.

I'd like to Download Every 2D cover or Fullcover, couldn't you make a Zip archive just the way you have the 3D covers?

 

[MakiManPR]

yeah but it wont have the back of the cover

 

[Raffles]

Are the uploads broken?

Anyway - here's an addition:

disc

cover

 

[Yod4z]

The disc is not a square, taht's the probleme of the upload.

I have corrected the image and uploaded the two. Thanks for the contributions

 

[Raffles]

Aha!

Corrected and uploaded another

.

 

[herudae]

yeah but it wont have the back of the cover

It will have the back of the cover if you download fullcovers.

Hi,

It's possible to create a simple summary of database file in CSV format containing the basic information about games. I propose put the following fields: title, id6, genre and rating.

CODE
"A Boy and His Blob","SBLE5G","action","E"
"Astro Boy: The Video Game","R56EG9","action","E10+"
"Batman: The Brave And The Bold","S3BEWR","action","E10+"
"Battalion Wars 2","RBWE01","action","T"
"Ben 10: Alien Force Vilgax Attacks","SBNEG9","action",0.0,"E10+"
"Ben 10: Protector of Earth","RBNEG9","Action","E"
"Ben 10: Ultimate Alien Cosmic Destruction","SBJEG9","action","E10+"


Good work and thanks.

Hmmm.... Greg Hastings Paintball 2 disc art can't be found in WiiTDB. Anyone willing to upload it?

 

[Knocks]

Is there a quick way to convert the format of titles.txt to one that can be read by AnyTitle Deleter (i.e. 3-letter game codes and slightly different punctuation)?

The official database.txt for AnyTitle Deleter is no longer updated, and it would be good to use titles.txt for it somehow.

Or maybe someone can recompile AnyTitle Deleter to accept the WiiTDB formatting?

I am looking for a way to download the hi quality covers the WiiFlow downloads all at once, so that I can redo a few wii's for people.

Anyone know how to download "FullCovers" that are the higher quality the wii flow gets from Wiitdb?

Please let me know.

Thanks,

Jason

 

[Yod4z]

just download on one wii and copie the wiiflow directory from Sd card or USB Hard drive from one to another ^^

 

[herudae]

@jstevenson72 that's what i'm asking for, but noone seems to be helpful
