You will need to download the latest DS.ROD and then ALL of the box art updates since the last one you downloaded. Just check your box art directory/folder and look for the last file (alphabetically) and then you'll know where you need to start with the incremental updates.

And yes, the family (wife and kids) exist. Thanks for the well wishes.

P.S. Ghost Trick Phantom Detective (U) [DEMO] isn't recognized (don't know the release number...sry)
Demos do not have release numbers, so they are not entered into the database.

Thanks for the recognition. I'm trying my best to keep Rominator as current as possible.

And I want to thank everyone for not complaining the few times in December that I wasn't able to post updates exactly weekly. I felt bad, but real life took priority.

The DS.ROD database file will always have everything up to the release number listed in the update. That means that the 5476 DS.ROD has 0001-5476.

The box art files are incremental, which means you will need to start with 0001-5284 and then do all updates in order.

NOTE: I will be consolidating the box art into groups of 250 starting with 5001 once the release numbers get past 5500.

I hope this helps everybody better understand the updates. Once the new version of Rominator comes out (no, I still have no ETA) updates will be server based again and will update from within the program.

That's what I've been explaining. All updates are manual. You can download them on an internet PC and copy them over to your non-internet connected PC running Rominator.

I'm unsure. I am not the developer, but I am helping with features and design. I'll put your suggestion on the list.

    Eventhough the New 3DS XL is more powerful, I still feel like the DS Lite was a more polished system. It's a real shame that it never got an XL variant keeping the GBA slot. You'd have to go on AliExpress and buy an ML shell to give a DS phat the unofficial "DS Lite" treatment, and that's the best we'll ever get I'm afraid.

    The phat model had amazingly loud speakers tho.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Jayro, I don't see whats so special about the DS ML, its just a DS lite in a phat shell. At least the phat model had louder speakers, whereas the lite has a much better screen.

  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    They probably said "Hey, why not we combine the two together and make a 'new' DS to sell".

    It's a DS Lite in a slightly bigger DS Lite shell.

    It's not a Nintendo / iQue official product, it's a 3rd party custom.

    A woman with no arms and no legs was sitting on a beach. A man comes along and the woman says, "I've never been hugged before." So the man feels bad and hugs her. She says "Well i've also never been kissed before." So he gives her a kiss on the cheek. She says "Well I've also never been fucked before." So the man picks her up, and throws her in the ocean and says "Now you're fucked."

  • cearp @ cearp:
    @BakerMan - you can still "own" digital media, arguably easier and better than physical since you can make copies and backups, as much as you like.

    The issue is DRM
  • cearp @ cearp:
    You can buy drm free games / music / ebooks, and if you keep backups of your data (like documents and family photos etc), then you shouldn't lose the game. but with a disk, your toddler could put it in the toaster and there goes your $60

    :rofl2:

    still, I agree physical media is nice to have. just pointing out the issue is drm
