gametdb.GetTitle is different. It should get the <title> tag. For ex. <title>Smurfs, The</title> when locale is english.
gameTDB.GetName gets <game name=..., here Smurfs, The

Ah ok, if you use serials it shouldn't be too slow.

Not sure you need to disable titles from xml. When found, the titles are most of the times better. And since you let the ability to use custom then real filenames that seems ideal.
But yeah, you could make everyone happy and create an option for those who rename all their games.

 

no harm, be sure to check out my last post with an updated boot.dol. seems i was getting the titles the wrong way. wiimpathy pointed that out and i fixed it. well at least now Titles don't follow the no intro naming convention. so the's are at the beginning again.
but i understand you changed the filenames to your liking so the xml titles might not be to your liking. at least you can use custom_titles.ini.
note i was planning on making custom_titles easier to edit. I was also thinking of a way to have wiiflow output a text file with a list of all the current games (filename = title) or (ID = title). but just ideas for now.

 

That would be outstanding! I check in almost on a daily basis, so I usually don't miss much. I'll keep my eyes open if anything materializes. Thanks

 

I believe you put the txt file in wiiflow/codes folder. Then run wiiflow and select the game. Go into settings and choose your cheats and be sure to enable ocarina.

 

Speaking of Mario Super Sluggers, I got all the characters in the Challenge (story) mode.

 

Hey, it worked perfectly, thank you so much!

 

Any time you add a new game you need to go to home menu and select reload cache.
The cover menu is not the home menu. Home menu is where you find reload cache.

 

Is there a file I can edit on a computer to add games to a category, instead of having to use WiiFlow's UI to do so?

 

No, I mean associating a game with any of the categories in categories_lite.ini

 

To each category corresponds an ascii character in categories_lite.ini file. It starts at code 33, the exclamation mark and ends at code 52, the number 4.
Look at ascii table, printable characters : https://www.ascii-code.com/

Here's the characters correspondence with categories_lite.ini :

[GENERAL]
cat1=Action !
cat10=Sports *
cat11=Strategy +
cat12=Traditional ,
cat13=Theme -
cat14=ESRB: Early Childhood .
cat15=ESRB: Everyone /
cat16=ESRB: Everyone 10+ 0
cat17=ESRB: Teen 1
cat18=ESRB: Mature 2
cat19=ESRB: Adults Only 3
cat2=Adventure "
cat20=Non-English 4
cat3=Fighting #
cat4=General $
cat5=Health %
cat6=Music &
cat7=Racing '
cat8=Role Playing (
cat9=Simulation )

For example, let's put the following game in Adventure and ESRB: Everyone categories :

hatari/zak mckracken and the alien mindbenders="/

I wish the category system was a bit more flexible and easier too. That'd also be great if we could use existing data for emulator's games. The default categories aren't so good either for this type of games. All the ESRB or even General for instance...
By the way, I don't remember but is it possible to have custom categories for plugins @fledge68 ?
I mean different cat names, cat9=Shoot'em up etc.
