OpenRetro Game Database

@frode Hi! The Japanese variant of the game was "remastered" by Konami and the game is different form the US version (a modern army mod, a story mode, more campaign, different music) Maybe he deserve a separate entry?

WHDLoad variant does not run on A600 model. Reported by KoRRoSka.

@frode No problemo , old scan up-scaled with strange oil blur,, erase all invalids covers, I'll try to upload better scans.

Disabled most older WHDLoad variants due to the list of variants becoming very long.

@jyanncorp I declined the cover update to this one, because the cover had been processed too much with filters and looked more like a painting :-/

@jyancorp H.E.S. variant moved to new entry https://openretro.org/nes/othello-hes

Imported more floppy variants.

Version 1.1 works on A1200 if some fast RAM is added or if only one floppy drive is used. I'm guessing that the game runs out of RAM on stock A1200 with two floppy drives enabled. Fast RAM added to the config.

Disabled WHDLoad "v2.0" variant. These must have been added earlier by some sort of mistake; the latest version is "v1.3".

@frode Hi! Actually the Australian H.E.S. variant is a unlicensed different game which has nothing to do with the 1986 Kawada Othello. Can you create a separate entry?

@frode The PAL variant seem missing.

Uploaded them so they can be verified.

Sorry I have updated the data, will post my remarks here in the future.

Have New ADF files, extracted form disk today.

@Kazper v1.3 and v1.4 and v1.3cd32 is there

@Kazper we do keep 2 recent versions available for whdload. and also keep in mind that @frode isnt working 24/7 on the database just to keep whdload installs updated daily. so far they usually get updated ever 1-2 months. and only if this happens older versions gett disabled.

You disabled all the CD32 versions - now there is only the non-CD32 version.

Particularly when the site don't have the latest variant, making upgrading not even possible. (It's pretty much impossible to find old WHDLoad patches...)

Disabling old Whdload versions is very annoying as games suddenly just disappear from FS-UAE lists of games. Please don't do that without a really good reason (ie not just old but defective version).

changed model to a500+ because a500 model gives graphical corruption.

Moved the Tengen variant to a new entry since it is a "different" game.

@frode The two variants are different games, one official from sunsoft and one unlicensed from Tengen. Thy needs a separate entry.

TENGEN https://youtu.be/cAwSXZnroGA SUNSOFT https://youtu.be/ag_or6ZGric

@tomse I can understand the desire to keep things in chronological order

But, it is not desired in this case; Because some interfaces might want to limit to fewer screenshots, possibly even just one, it is important that (especially) the first screenshot is a gameplay screenshot.

So, screenshots should be sorted in order of importance rather than time. It's not a hard rule, but at least screenshot 1 should be main gameplay.

@cpcmaster when you scan, can you try and get everything please, the bottom part is cropped on this one

@jyanncorp done

@thevoice Hi! Can just be moved to the US release, i think is useless to create different entry for each releases of unlicensed games :

Double Strike - Aerial Attack Force http://openretro.org/game/b78e62b0-b051-41c5-8785-051b8f126f2b/edit

@jyanncorp hi, so the asian realease need to be sperated from this entry ? if so we need @frode to do the job

@frode Hi! You're right, I'm going too far for this one, this is Virtual Bart, not The Simpsons : Virtual Bart. I've to focus on "search term" for those cases. Thanks for watching!

@jyanncorp I reverted the sort key for this game. Remember that when people look for "Virtual Bart", they will try to look at games starting with V (together with other "virtual" games), so if sort key starts with "simpson", the game is placed somewhere else (and unexpected for most user). But search terms can be used to add additional words the user can search for. I added "simpson" and "simpsons", so the game will now show up if you search for bart simpon

@thevoice it was intentional to have the title/intro/char creation and game play in correct order. I'll try and keep it in mind with the mouse pointers next time

@thevoice The Asia variant is from a different game :

@thevoice This is the Chinese release of :

http://openretro.org/game/54c65cb1-dd37-41b4-943c-5d92585c4dc6/edit

@frode hi, it looks like we need a game_name_asia entry too. quite some nes titles have asia as a "region".

@jyanncorp hi, wll you contribute very well to the database and never do major mistakes. so it just don't make sense to have all your contributions under moderation . and now i can have my coffee before work in peace again \o/

@frode Tanks for the entry and... thank for GIVE ME THE POWER !!! :O I can be more efficient now! (and stop to harassed thevoice ) Thanks again !

I named this game entry Challenge of the Dragon [Sachen], if that makes sense...

I think I got this right now, US version moved back to its own entry, both Asian variants in the other entry (Challenge of the Dragon [Sachen]). @jyanncorp

Japanese variant moved to https://openretro.org/nes/airwolf-kyugo. @thevoice @jyanncorp

@jyanncorp hi, so you want me to merge this entry into chinese kungfu ? and about the name, i am not sure. usually @frode is in charge with "special cases" naming. but since you have proven to have good knowledge about all this i would say just name it as you find it fits best. if @frode thinks otherwise it will be easy to change the name again.

@thevoice Hi ! Actually, the Asian version is not the same game, Challenge of the Dragon is the US name of "Chinese KungFu" but was never released by Color Dream in US, they keep the Name for this game here.

So can you move it to :

http://openretro.org/game/d439748d-d9f8-4950-a216-615d243677c0/edit

And for the game entry, did I keep the original title or put the US name with [Sachen] at the end?

thanks

@frode Thank you! And don't forget same problem with Japanese version of Airwolf!

@thevoice @jyanncorp Created a new entry https://openretro.org/nes/the-black-bass-japan

@jyanncorp hi, yes you can technically "cancel" a wrong entry. like in this case just select game_name_jp again and submit it again with an empty line.

@jyanncorp hi, i have merged in the correct title and also have informed @frode to seperate the wrong japanese variant into its own entry again. since i cant do seperating titles, you will have to wait until @frode have time and do this task

@thevoice Can you cancel (game_name_jp
Magic Block)

It's possible to cancel an entry by myself? Thanks

@thevoice The Japanese variant is a different game who need an separate entry.

@thevoice This is the Japanese version of US "The Black Bass"

http://openretro.org/nes/the-black-bass

They only publish the second Japanese game and like the first was never out outside Japan the call it just "The Black Bass"

So the Japanese variant in the black bass entry is actually the first black bass never out in US.

I hope you're understand me.. (^_^; )

@frode Hi! The variant "Airwolf (Japan) (Kyugo).nes" is a different game developped only for Japanese market

https://www.mobygames.com/game/nes/airwolf__

https://www.giantbomb.com/airwolf/3030-40533/

@frode Yes, sorry for US title for this game, this is the US name for arcade version, no for the SNES that never out outside Japan.

For ROMs I can try them one by one (it can be looong for some RPGs), but I don't know how to present, provide SH1 or size. I can privileged BPS patch files instead of IPS for sure compatibility with medafen. (more recent patchs instead of 20years old patch releases) I can find or produce specific covers for English or other languages translates.

@jyanncorp Hmm, I don't see Mutant Fighter in the No-Intro DAT for SNES. I checked Nintendo - Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Combined) (20200522-055802).dat.

I am positive to including patched versions in the database, but I think only for cases where there is a known good version as @thevoice says.

In order words, if someone can point to a patched ROM for a game and say "this works great", I think it will be useful to include it!

Hi @jyanncorp, I got your message, it just waited in the moderation / anti-spam queue

(You can also reach me on discord - https://discord.com/invite/z5HEqK)

@frode Hi! I try to post a message on support or wish list but get erased. How can communicate?

The download links are dead (dream17.info website is down, new adresse is now http://dream17.abime.net).

@thevoice Can be split with :

@jyanncorp as i dont have a clue what these titles are i think its best you deceide how to name them

@jyanncorp yes, these are old/renamed variants from older no intro imports.

@thevoice I see a lot of identical variants in some games. This is a different ROM? An old import ?

@frode Hi! I don't known exactly how its work but can you run your re-parenting script? I do a lot of regroup and modifications for SNES section, that can help me to see more clearer. Thanks!

@thevoice, Hi! What you think the best for naming magazines ?

(BS-X) Cheap de Gorgeous (MAG) or (BS-X MAG) Cheap de Gorgeous

Bring all together or scatter

@thevoice Ok, cool. I will wait to continue, thanks!

@jyanncorp this one seem to be a renamed title or something. i have merged it into the correct title now. and it should disappear once @frode runs his reparenting script.

@thevoice hi! How the empty entry are deleted? Like here? It's show "delete" in disable commentary, how delete it completely? (That can help me to see more clearer for completing missing entries) Thanks for your work!

@jyanncorp for now we kept titles with more then 1 game in as seperate titles. in this case you may want to talk to @frode. if he thinks this title can be merged into the parent set, he or i will do it ofcourse.

@thevoice I tried the rom, this is only the 1-1 level from SMB Lost Level to do in speed-run, no menu, direct start and the game freeze when you finish the stage. I don't understand why different segments of the PowerFest cartridge get divides. But this rom is not a compilation by herself. (I don't know if I'm clear)

@jyanncorp this one is a compilation so i cant merge it into powerfest

@thevoice This one can be merged with :

http://openretro.org/game/ec7963ca-ae90-4622-9d86-055bbcb47da1

Alright

@Jami hi, i have changed the model to a600 which is technically the same as a500+. but we use only a1200 & a600 for whdload.

With WHDLoad, the game runs too fast on Amiga 1200. A500+ is better.

@thevoice Can be merged with : http://openretro.org/game/29d180e4-1027-4e1a-bb13-fd52aeecb1d7/edit

@thevoice Can be merged with : http://openretro.org/game/29d180e4-1027-4e1a-bb13-fd52aeecb1d7/edit

@thevoice This is the Jappnase variant of : http://openretro.org/snes/ultima-the-false-prophet/edit

@jyanncorp we leave it unpublished then

@thevoice This is the Japanese variant of : http://openretro.org/snes/doomsday-warrior/edit

@thevoice Hi! Both games have a special chip (ST-11) for AI. It seems that no emulators manage it. (the games reboot at CPU turn)

@thevoice Can be moved to : http://openretro.org/game/5730e4c8-dc3b-4787-af34-dc037df94ac6/edit

@ jyanncorp youi are right about this. gentaiban usually means "special edition" this version seem to be just a re release with no major changes. i let this decision to @frode since i can't create entries anyway.

@thevoice This one can be merged with : http://openretro.org/game/04e42170-5f3d-4dab-bf1f-74a90a16c40f/edit This is the same in a gold cartridge for a prize.

@thevoice Hi ! I think this variant, Super Tetris 2 + Bombliss Genteiba, can have a separate release. the game is out 2 years later https://www.mobygames.com/game/snes/super-tetris-2-bombliss-genteiban

@thevoice This is the Japanese variant of : http://openretro.org/snes/super-bases-loaded-3-license-to-steal/edit

@thevoice This is the Japanese variant of http://openretro.org/snes/striker/edit

@frode the japanese variant is a totally different game and would need its own entry.

It works now.

Thanks alot.

@33a0c968 hi,it looks like cfou updated the slave again on may 9th and keeping the slave version at 1.2. as far as i know whdload installs are not updated at the moment until the issue with the eab server is solved. so in this very case you just need to fall back to the v1.2 slave from before may 9th and update the database again to temporarely fix this issue.

The WHDLoad v1.2 version won't register in the Launcher after updating the file database (neither Amiga or CD32).

Any idea why?

Thanks.

PROBLEM: the european version crashes tested with mednafen 1.24.3

@ded_ hi, this is something only @frode can investigate/assist you with. you have to wait until he checks whats going on there.
