Great to see you back. The db still needs a lot of work.

We need to start a poll for all sugestions of extra genres before implementation.

The alternate naming still don't work as we expected. I've imported recently the full genesis romset and many roms that don't have the first sorting title (USA) doesn't find their entry, next i check if the alternate name is on the database and it is. Is need to improve. Manually when you edit the alternate names are found, but not in the import rom process. And emumovies still failing if we don't have the exact hyperlist/nointro naming. The alternate naming needs more work to be really useful. The alternates need to work on importing and merging, and the scrapper maybe could retry emumovies petitions with alternates if first title doesn't find anything. And please add the rename all option, it's a mess than any change on the database results on missing info or duplicated data. @Jason Carr

Auditing the genesis database i find there's only a bunch of them without logos. Bahamut Senki Dial Q O Mawase!

thumbs up! i like it !

ok, here we go. First: We need a rejections and message inbox, and notifications. With the actual system nobody check the messages and repeat their mistakes again and again. We need a separate mail and a notificator to the contributor. You have 15 rejections, check your contributor inbox. The persistence of uploading chavez or final fantasy vi gives me crazy and i lost my temper more than one time, for sure the uploader don't see the message because the system, and keeps trying again an again! Second: We need to clean seriously the tags genre and developer/publisher. Now is a mess with tons of duplicating names in companys and a ridiculous brief list of genres that is too short to define more than 45 years of game story. Generic tags like adventure or action make jesus cry and kills kitten. We know clearly what is a fps, a beatemup, a shootemup, a visual adventure, a sandbox, a point and click adventure an go on... I really hate the brief genres list. Third: There's no point on keep open the release date tag until we don't have regional dates or a fixed criteria, we all see day by day that someones prefer the release of their country and others put the first release. I'm tired of seeing this. Block the option or define clearly that only the first release date in all the world is mandatory, same with publishers (WE DON'T HAVE REGIONAL TAGS) BLOCK TOO. Fourth: Keep the roms hacks separate in the database and launchbox. I don't want to see behemoth listings of supermario world hacks or have scrapping errors for this tons of material. Only allow the visibility of the rom hack and their use by a command disabled by default. Alex Edit: 1. Opened issue # 349 to track this change. That's actually not a bad way of handling it. 2. Issue #259 will track this. 3. see issue #189 4. issue #350 opened to track this request

Mmm, ok if kondorito wants to release it here, no problem. But he had a complete set of famicom covers and in my work i see terrible things in launchbox db and i spending hours to rearrange famicom covers maybe like a fool because his set is better. PD: HELP ME WITH SUPERNES! i can't see any contribution of snes moderating in months, and i'm really tired XDD. the database still lacks around 400 SNES/SFC games . a week ago i made the last clear logo and covers for the typical playable games, around 1400. And still is full of creepy 300x300 resolution scans on usa covers because many download the reconstructed ones from other sites and don't give a shit about here XDD. I can't remember the hundreds of hours i expend with this fucking console, and deleting again and again the chavez and final fantasy vi aditions of course.

No. I asking for the famicom art the post before. Simply, i'm arguing that if people in hyperspin forums don't ask to borrow art from our database, we maybe could do the same. I understand the point of some limitations in forums to avoid only leeching others work without doing a shit, but i'm not this kind of dude. I'm starting to share my work on hyperspin fe to have access to packs like the one i asked for that are only for contributors. I'm feeling a little stupid that i share tons of art without restrictions and now i have a closed garden for their art, in the same place that many are working with. I don't feel that closed gardens policy are good for nobody. Please give me access to the famicom pack i asked for, i dont think that kondorito disagree, right now as i say, i'm working on a thread he iniciated doing famicom clear logos. See http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forums/topic/31670-famicom-wheel-art-hq/?page=16

@alexis524 I see many times in hyperspin fe forums that many users are using art of the launchbox db, for example many of the sfc restored covers that i've upload. I'm right now creating famicom wheels (clear logos) and uploading on hyperspin fe and launchbox). Please share to make my job easier. I think that purchasing launchbox, paying the emumovies subscription and doing hundreds of restorations to the open LB Database are really far of considering me a scammer or a lazy one that benefits of others works without retribution.

We need a way to see only rejected entries and messages. With the current status nobody's checking the messages and rejections @Jason Carr. I'm really tired of rejecting Chavez and Final Fantasy VI on snes.

Good , this week i'm uploading famicom art to the database and is really hard to find good covers of some games. I'm turning crazy to find some game photos on ebay and editing and cleaning.

I'm uploading better art i know this pack and it's not a big deal. The good one i think is http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/14074-nintendo-famicom-2d-box-pack-10/ But i can't download it's only for contributors. If anyone has acces please share. It seems that is a really good pack with heavily restored and cleaned covers.

LINK IS BROKEN COULD REUPLOAD?

My suggestion is that your video is valid for a loop, because the start time of many users is variable. Don't use loud sounds and make a good loopy animation for continuous play.

i open a ticket a long time agooooooo. https://bitbucket.org/jasondavidcarr/gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/issues/87/consolidate-company-names-merge-or

I doing the best i can to give quality and be extensive in this category, i've upload hundreds of related art and search and compose many with official HQ art with the best quality i can. See this for example. All the images are upload by me. http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/18247

I don't waste time in this and dates. When we have some acurate ok, now it's only losing time. Another moderation sickness like the pokemon names change nonsense.

developer list need merging and moderation, now it's a mess.

When is nearly imposible to find any classic art is valid to upload something related. If we have original art comes first.

I think is mostly because deleting duplicates. And in some cases totally arbitrary because i put art very carefully using consistent art, mostly original and when is related i search the connection the very close i could get. Real life photography is not allowed as it is, but fanart creations with real image are valid. For example i've upload recently a art of a Toyota Supra Mk.IV for the game GT Racing of snes, but the game have the same real life model in the front cover and it's one of the licensed cars that appears in the game. But i've detected deleted art from dr. franken (i spend hours to find SOMETHING about this game until i find a fan drawing, and NOW it's deleted. And a good montage on 7th saga using all the character portraits (original art) from the manual. I've spend 2 hours to find the good quality scans, cut, edit, arrange to make it. And now it's gone. UFFFF. Please check the duplication deletions. And art of bubsy I and II is deleted too, i have to reupload.

I've spending tons of hours searching and creating fanart for snes/superfamicom and someone is aproving deletions? Why?

Yeah, to have emumovies downloads run in the right way we need this. Circo only uses nointro and hyperlist names in his service. We need to add these naming conventions, if we need to create a tag like alternate scrapping name or support name or whatever. If we don't bulk the entries with a good bunch of naming conventions we never could have a 100% perfect scrapping. CRC emulation station scrapping is good but is really slow and fails with fantranslated roms that have their CRC diferent. Is good to have the real names in a straight way using full cover content for sorting and showing, but we need to manage the needs of extra info to improve scrapping, checking one by one because errors is really naty when we are talking of collections with hundreds of games.
