Hardware WiiWare / Virtual Console Dats for OfflineList / ClrMamePro

[Cyan]

Thank you Nago for the update and keeping us informed.

Damn, I've 700 VC missing now, I will never find them all

 

[Nago]

A little bump for the wiiware update, for the MM10 fans out there.

Edit: Also, I found some errors in my method for checking for duplicates, there are some fixes that will be made to the future VC releases.
I've been very busy lately, so I have a lot of changes planned, but not a lot of time to work on them. At least the dats have been updated recently, eh?

 

[Slimmmmmm]

You rule Nago

 

[Nago]

I said in the first post IDs will change. I have always changed them from release to release. This is nothing new. Write your own dat if you don't like it.

In other news, I pushed out updates for WiiWare and VC today. I also started work on my Miscellaneous dat for channels and disc-based DLC.

I've accidentally removed moli's list so if you (or someone else) could repost it I'd be grateful. (I was in the process of adding a spoiler tag).

Sorry.

Hrm ... These are in the dat with the CRCs you mention.
I have:

Lode_Runner_PAL_VC_NES_Wii-SUNSHiNE
AFBA1FA6

Milons_Secret_Castle_PAL_VC_NES_Wii-SUNSHiNE
4548F1E4

...And they add and verify just fine. Update to the latest version?

This is more interesting!

As far as I can see, Excitebike.PAL.VC.Wii-WiiSiON is the version in my database with the CRC, SHA1 and MD5 you say, and it seems to be a good release ...
...and Excitebike.NES.PAL.VC.WII I don't seem to have, and it isn't on abgx or ludibria... Or the first few pre databases I've checked...

What is wrong with the WiiSiON release, again? I'm afraid I don't really understand what you are saying.

The just add fine in offline list, no problem with those 2.

 

[Yod4z]

ok updated and there are here

 

[Nago]

What about the Excitebike issue you reported? I am actually missing one of those and can't find any information on that release.

Update (Mar 31): I have updated the WiiWare dat again, and this time I have removed any "filler entries" for missing scene releases. Going forward as a dat that is trying to catalogue the best of each release instead of staying 1:1 with the scene, this makes the most sense. The database entries for these releases still exist, however, and in the future when I have a website they will be search-able, but for now those red entries that didn't exist anyway will be gone from the dat.


I am continuing work on the miscellaneous DLC dat project and I have another big project that might change the way you archive wiiware/vc to be announced in a bit, stay tuned.

Update 2: Updated the VC dat also, again removing any placeholder entries for missing releases. Sorry for the mass renumbering.

(I should clarify: The placeholders that were in the dat were only in the nukes section, for releases that are in pre databases but no one seemed to have; These releases may be re-added as nukes in the future if the releases ever turn up. Nothing of value is lost here.)

 

[Nago]

Bump for new WiiWare version out today. My roof fell in over Easter, sorry for the bit of the delay.

Currently working on:

1) Choose-your-own format ClrMamePro dat-builder. It will be ~ so cool ~.
2) Updating the VC dat. Within the next week.
3) A "secret" project to change the way you store your WAD files. (You'll see.)

 

[Madridi]

awesome nago .. thanks

 

[TheBuzzer]

thanks nago. I organized all my stuff based on your list for wiiware and vc. The thing I am wondering how about wii dlc and wii isos. Any list for those?

 

[Nago]

Hi, WiiWare updated again; I fell behind on Virtual Console again (oops) but Finals are over in a week, so I'll be working on it. (I always update WiiWare first because I consider new games to be more important to index than classic releases, sorry if you don't agree!)

As for DLC and ISOs: I actually did start working on a DLC database, but I haven't put a lot of effort into it yet. I suspect I'll get it done this summer when I have a lot of time to work on new projects. As for ISOs, though, I don't have any plans to do anything like that.

Psykos (see my opening post here) has a Wii ISO dat that you might find helpful. I believe the Advanscene admin at one point was starting one, but I think that project went abandoned. I just don't have the space, time or resources to manage a dat like that ... the redump.org guys maintain disc dats too, but they're not a scene dat and they have only verified a very small portion of what is out there.

Hope that helps!

Edit May 20th: Small update for WiiWare again.

 

[Nago]

Bump for Virtual Console update.

A new(ish) group named NoRePack (NRP) has been feverishly dumping Japanese VC Games. Thus, of the 71 new VC games added since the last update, the bulk of them are Japanese. Enjoy.

 

[Cyan]

Thank you for maintaining those lists.
I'm using only yours.

Are you still working on the list's website ?

 

[Nago]

Sort of! Not a whole lot, lately. I've been mostly working on back-end stuff lately. I have a few user-facing things I want to publish soon (like the choose-your-own-format clrmamepro dats, that will need a website frontend) so I guess I'll have to get cooking on it sooner or later.

I intend to really focus on the dats this summer, getting a lot of my to-dos out of the way, adding images and just generally making it nicer. Anytime I do anything cool I'll run back and post in this thread, at least.

 

[Madridi]

That's great Nago, thanks!
