PSPMan Posted October 15 Share Posted October 15 (edited) Forgive me, I'm still new here. I've been submitting all the thumbnails for PlayStation Minis and slowly cleaning up that category as there are games missing from the list as well as other issues. The 2 games found Here and Here are the same game under a slightly different name, but both pages have unique data not present in the other, The one piece of conflicting info I noticed is the release dates, which appear to be the dates listed on GameFAQs for the US and EU release. I noticed Launchbox doesn't seem to keep track of multiple regions (something IMO should be changed.) Anyways, I was wondering how I suggest the 2 pages be merged so none of the images/data are lost. Thank you for the help. Edited October 15 by PSPMan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for the help. You cannot really merge in the DB. You have to delete one. I typically look at the entry with earliest ID number and unless some other reason use that as one to keep. Before submit for delete, copy any unique media to your drive temporarily. Then add those assets into the remaining game DB entry. A lot of people seem to nuke the dupes and not check that and can lose useful media. Release date by practice for DB should be the initial release in whatever region. So if EU first then use that. I also will add in description if any differences in region. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LonestarK Posted October 16 Share Posted October 16 https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/82314-nova-near-orbit-vanguard-alliance should be the entry for the physical PSP release, not the PSP Mini. I submitted a request to change the entry's platform field to correct this error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I submitted a request to change the entry's platform field to correct this error. There is no physical PSP release. In general very few minis have physical releases. The only US one is Puzzle Scape Mini (Which dropped the "Mini" from it's title for the physical.) and there's Multiple European ones. Super Fruit Fall has a UMD release in Europe, and then there's the Mega Minis Volume # Compilations (I believe there is 3) other than that, most minis were not released physically. The reason so many Minis entries have boxarts on this site is because they are Fanmade Fakes, if you try and search these physical releases on sites like eBay they don't pop up. I don't remember exactly where they came from, but I asked Spike from CDRomance years ago and he said someone made them and the site scrapped them from somewhere (Sorry that's not the most reputable info, he deleted his Twitter) I bring this up because those fake boxarts have been getting used on a lot of ROM sites, and it's caused other sites to engage in accidentally historical revisionism by thinking they are real and reposting them. in addition to here, I've also been submitting the thumbs to GameFAQs where I was seeing that a lot. I've attached a picture of what the express raider page over there used to look like. The PSP boxart is fake, this is a digital only release on PSP. This does not document European releases, only US ones, but here is the collector's Guide MarcZero made, hopefully that validates what I'm saying a bit more. This document and coresponding Excel sheet documents all 612 black-label games that were released on the PSP in the US. https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fo/yphkxwm63pg2ghext27a9/AFSDqLfSi-7_wtQmk12_8eo?rlkey=x19vmbfc37m2vx773up1zl1ox&st=bxehn1ky&dl=0 Also sorry for taking so long to respond, all of the PlayStation Minis thumbnails I've submitted I've been recovering by hand, and I'm just now performing my cleanup sweep.
