Seiko told me there is a problem with the DB update utility. He is trying to get a fix from Hank.


Not resolved, but worked around.

19 games were added, working on more now.

Thanks for the info, I will look at this during the next database update process.

Both of these should be corrected,
Thanks for the info.

Last update was 3 weeks ago. I realize that this product is free now, but I actually purchased this product when it wasn't free. I know that Hank is busy, but that was why he asked for help updating the database. This isn't working out so well. We are now behind by 135 titles.

Hank, if you're reading this, I volunteer my services to perform weekly database updates. I'll just need the access and very little of your time to learn the ropes.

In case things stay this way, can anybody recommend a replacement ROM manager with timely updates that runs on Mac OS X?

I'll be honest I know of no other rom mangers that work on OSX but the that matter it seems none of the PC alternatives are worth using either (DSFCC has the GUI from hell). Good luck!

DB updated until 4106 but still:

3025 - Tokutei! Metabo Juku (J) [Debu]
  • size: 62.694 kB / CRC: 41B40D7D is underdumped, but seen as clean by Rominator.
  • size: 62.694 kB / CRC: 3C473341 is underdumped and correctly seen as unclean by Rominator
  • size: 65.536 kB / CRC: 5F077EC4 is proper, but seen als unclean by Rominator
  • size: 65.536 kB / CRC: 4FE5E22C [unknown to me if proper], seen as unclean by Rominator
DSFCC, DS-Rom Organizer, NDSCRC Renamer, RoFage, RToolDS etc. been there, done that, but Rominator was always a good Rom Manager.

If you have a problem with the Database updates, please contact me directly as mentioned in the first post. For simplicity, I will repost it for you -- mr[dot]seiko[at]gmail[dot]com -- Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any issues with the database. Sometimes Life and computer issues can put up walls that don't allow us to get done what we want to get done.

We are actually only behind about 40-50 releases as the DSI and DSI Enhanced releases are ignored on this listing.

*******NOTICE*******


The Scene Release that we were mirroring has Recently modified their release list.

They have adjusted to include the DSI Enhanced games in this Release list.

This has been the source of some of the delays, and I am working to get this resolved ASAP.

Thanks for updating 3025, Mr.Seiko

About that 'problem' of scene numbering...

The SQL database is something like this:
ds (id Text, header Text, code Text, number Text, name Text, country Text, genre Text, publisher Text, releaseGroup Text, trimsize text, crc32 text, language Text, altGenre Text, wifi Text, metacritic text);

Isn't it an option to number with more than 4 numeric characters, or even alpha-chars? Each entry is already unique by rowID and [id Text]. That way you could even make entries for unnumbered (xxxx), iQue and DSi-enhanced ROM releases. (The only thing that is not an option is the DSiWare 'releases' as those are not ROM's, but .BIN/.LST....). 1 alpha-field followed by number gives you 26 categories (xxxx,iQue,DSI-only,DSiEnhanced etc) with 999 releases (if the field length doesn't change from 4 chars).

Or even simpler: why not follow http://gbatemp.net/newgon/ instead of other websites?

    yall im torn... ive been hacking away at tales of phantasia GBA (the USA version) and have so many documents of reverse engineering i've done
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I just found out that the EU version is better in literally every way, better sound quality, better lighting, and there's even a patch someone made to make the text look nicer
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    Do I restart now using what i've learned on the EU version since it's a better overall experience? or do I continue with the US version since that is what ive been using, and if someone decides to play my hack, it would most likely be that version?
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    @TwoSpikedHands, I'll preface this with the fact that I know nothing about the game, but, I think it depends on what your goals are. Are you trying to make a definitive version of the game? You may want to refocus your efforts on the EU version then. Or, are you trying to make a better US version? In which case, the only way to make a better US version is to keep on plugging away at that one ;)
  • Sicklyboy @ Sicklyboy:
    I'm not familiar with the technicalities of the differences between the two versions, but I'm wondering if at least some of those differences are things that you could port over to the US version in your patch without having to include copyrighted assets from the EU version
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    @Sicklyboy I am wanting to fully change the game and bend it to my will lol. I would like to eventually have the ability to add more characters, enemies, even have a completely different story if i wanted. I already have the ability to change the tilemaps in the US version, so I can basically make my own map and warp to it in game - so I'm pretty far into it!
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I really would like to make a hack that I would enjoy playing, and maybe other people would too. swapping to the EU version would also mean my US friends could not legally play it
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I am definitely considering porting over some of the EU features without using the actual ROM itself, tbh that would probably be the best way to go about it... but i'm sad that the voice acting is so.... not good on the US version. May not be a way around that though
  • TwoSpikedHands @ TwoSpikedHands:
    I appreciate the insight!
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @TwoSpikedHands just switch, all the knowledge you learned still applies and most of the code and assets should be the same anyway
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and realistically they wouldn't

    be able to play it legally anyway since they need a ROM and they probably don't have the means to dump it themselves
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    why the shit does the shitbox randomly insert newlines in my messages
  • Veho @ Veho:
    It does that when I edit a post.

    It inserts a newline in a random spot.

    do y'all think having an sd card that has a write speed of 700kb/s is a bad idea?
    trying to restore emunand rn but it's taking ages... (also when I finished the first time hekate decided to delete all my fucking files :wacko:)
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Karma177 that sd card is 100% faulty so yes, its a bad idea
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the slowest non-sdhc sd cards are a few MB/s
  • Karma177 @ Karma177:
    @The Real Jdbye it hasn't given me any error trying to write things on it so I don't really think it's faulty (pasted 40/50gb+ folders and no write errors)
