PS Tried to remove the other topic I created. But I'm unable to actually open the topic for some weird reason. Anyway,  the last few days I took some time to create hd logos for each of the released "Pokémon Mini" games (10 in total), but I noticed that the platform was missing quite a bit of information.

Pokémon Mini

  • Name: Rename it to "Nintendo Pokémon Mini" (add the ´ on top of the e)
  • Release date: November 16, 2001
  • Dev: Nintendo
  • Manu: Nintendo
  • Max cont: 1
  • CPU: 8 bit, 4 MHz S1C88
  • Memory: Internal ram 4kB (shared with video subsystem)
  • Graphics: 1bpp LCD display
  • Sound: Single channel PWM sound (square wave)
  • Display: 96 x 64
  • Media: Game Pak (512KiB cartridge)
  • Overview: 

    The Pokémon Mini (stylized Pokémon mini) is a handheld game console that was designed and manufactured by Nintendo and themed around the Pokémon media franchise. It is the smallest game system with interchangeable cartridges ever produced by Nintendo, weighing just under two and a half ounces (70 grams). It was first released in North America on November 16, 2001, then in Japan on December 14, 2001, and in Europe on March 15, 2002. The systems were released in three colors: Wooper Blue, Chikorita Green, and Smoochum Purple.

    Features of the Pokémon mini include an internal real-time clock, an infrared port used to facilitate multiplayer gaming, a reed switch for detecting shakes, and a motor used to implement force feedback. The Nintendo GameCube game Pokémon Channel features playable demo versions of several Pokémon mini games via console emulation. Also included in the game is Snorlax's Lunch Time, a Pokémon Channel exclusive. Some games were only released in Japan, such as Togepi's Adventure.

 

I got the handheld images from bulpapedia (http://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Pokémon_mini). If you can only use one, I would suggest using the "Wooper Blue" one. As the others look a bit discolored.

The clear logo is a rasterized vector recreation of the original logo.

Sorry guys. I'll put this on my shortlist, again lol. Hopefully I can get to this very soon; I agree that it should be a priority. Thanks for all your work here in this thread. :)

Nice, appreciated :) @In virtute DeiSee just contact Jason on this matters and he will try to fix.

Any chance to allow some privileged members update this info in the launchbox db? This would allow the LB developers to stay working on other aspects of the application. Or even someway to enable this info to the put in the db quicker?

There are some popular systems missing info. Also having someones hard work go unused for months will sap their motivation.

People who have contributed info in this thread would make excellent candidates.

Big thanks to @In virtute Dei and others involved in providing this info (sorry if I missed anyone, I have only skimmed through the first and last pages)

Hi @Jason Carr,

What I meant was to allow a few to update the db directly and not via the website. Reasoning behind that is that amassing system metadata is a much smaller task than metadata for games and is somewhat static (ie no ratings or additional types of artwork, like missing covers). I actually see benefit in keeping the system metadata locked as it is easy to complete in one go and will prevent minor updates which require moderation (updates and moderation could take place in this thread).

Hey all, I've started finally updating the metadata for the platforms on the games database. Since 7.8 was just released, I figured I'd take a break from development for today and work on the metadata. Huge thanks to @In virtute Dei for all the metadata in this thread; obviously that's making this a whole lot easier but it's still tedious to do so it's fairly slow going.

@teeedubb Providing anyone other than a developer direct access to the SQL database is generally just not a good idea for various reasons.

Still going. It's getting monotonous lol. Made it down to the Fairchild Channel F so far, so there's still a long ways to go. The only image we're missing so far is for the Exelvision EXL 100; we have an image for it in this thread but it's not transparent and fairly low quality, so if anyone has a better image or is willing to remove the background, that would be much appreciated. :)

I've been removing the unnecessary arcade divisions platforms as I've been going, and I've renamed a couple as well to be more consistent. Where possible I'm merging games for platforms that were removed into the Arcade platform. Back to work.
