Enverex Posted June 12, 2017 Share Posted June 12, 2017 One thing I've noticed (unless I'm blind) is that the Metadata download doesn't seem to include alternate titles anywhere. Any chance of getting that added? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Norfair Posted July 7, 2017 Share Posted July 7, 2017 (edited) Hi, I have some questions about alternate titles. 1. Is the region field mandatory now when adding an alternate title? I did add an alternate title without a region. The change was accepted, but the game doesn't display the alternate title. 2. What region should be set when there isn't a specific region attached to the alternate title? I have an example: Game: LostWinds: Winter of the Melodias Alternate name: LostWinds 2 "LostWinds 2" isn't attached to any region. MobyGames categorizes this as "Informal title" According to the guidelines the facing name is North America in this case, because it was released there. This is why I did set North America as the region for the alternate title. Is this correct? 3. What region should be used for Rom Hacks? I've added some Rom Hacks to the Games DB and did set "World" as the region. Is this correct? Edited July 7, 2017 by Norfair Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes is very important to assign the region in every alternate name, for me must be mandatory, this because if you have a game with an alternative name , but in the the Db this alternate name does not have region, the scarper won't recognize the game and won't download the artwork and metadata, and the game shouldn't be correctly merged.
