Hacking GameTDB - game information database + covers

[JoostinOnline]

I would like HQ covers on:

and
http://www.gametdb.com/Wii/R8EJQC

I know the first probably won't happen.

gamefaqs has HQ versions of the front and back of earth seeker but not the binder or else i could up a full HQ cover

 

[Yod4z]

i think the cover for a demo does't exist, why use demo in place of complet version?

 

[OriginalHamster]

Hey Yod4z, could you edit a wrong info. in Worms: Battle Islands (SILE78)
It says:
required: wiimote, nunchuk

It should say:
required: wiimote
accesories: nunchuk

Because you can play the game with the wiimote sideway, it´s not necessary use nunchuk, nunchuk is only required to play motion controls style.

 

[Yod4z]

done, thanks for the info (i don't purchased this game ^^). I have modified the PAL version too

 

[Vague Rant]

Hey guys, I registered yesterday on GTDB as "vaguerant" and requested edit rights, but no response as yet, so I'll just start posting things here I guess.

[Yod4z]

game added but your cover are too small

 

[Vague Rant]

What's the resolution expected by GameTDB? I specifically matched these to what I saw on-site, so they should be adequate on-disk; are higher res images used behind the scenes?

 

[Yod4z]

yes you have small fullcover and fullcover HQ (1024x680 mini)

 

[Vague Rant]

So how does something like R3RE8P work? The LQ fullcover is the only one available--there's no hi-res version. Did the rules change at some point? It just seems like an LQ cover would be better than none at all.

EDIT: This (869*569 PNG, 915KB) is the best I can do with the covers from here.

All right, and here (1024*680 PNG, 1.16MB) it is scaled up to the size of an HQ fullcover. It doesn't look great, but it's surprisingly decent. I won't upload it as-is due to its nature as an upscale, but if anyone else thinks it's acceptable for TDB, they're welcome to it.

for common user you can upload only high res full cover and there a scrip that create the small full cover.
Admin can put small fullcover manually without the need of hq full cover

Would someone be willing to make a cover set (or at least the fullcover HQ) for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Master Quest?
This is an injected rom of the Master Quest present in the following Gamecube games:
- The Legend of Zelda: Collector's Edition
- The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time / Master Quest

Essentially, it would required a custom cover, since it is a custom WiiWare game.
Either the graphics of Ura Zelda or Ocarina of Time, could be used as a start point.

Regards.

You mean this?

It's a real game, not an injected rom set.

No. That's the real Gamecube game from where the rom was extracted for injection.
I'm referring to a cover for the Master Quest game injected into a WiiWare wad.

 

[J8son]

I download my covers from the TDB database via USB Loader GX but some of them are downloaded in other languages. How do I ensure I only get the US art work?

Thanks!

 

[Cyan]

It should download the cover according to the language set in USBloaderGX.
Try updating all the language files and force-load the english one. (maybe using the default language is not working fine?).

Maybe the english one is not available on gtdb? but I thought it didn't download the cover at all if the cover in that language was not available.

Which game/ID have that problem?

 

[funtomas]

could someone add cover for gamecube game Crash Bandicoot:Wrath of Cortex
