extracampine Posted May 10, 2018 Posted May 10, 2018 I was wondering what the best places are to get lists of the number of games per system. Is Hyperlist the best - is it accurate and up to date? Or are there other good sources?

Your best off cross referencing whats on HL to the download/upload section and the threads in the database forum. Bit of a mess right now untill something new comes along Official Hyperspin Tutorials Playlist HS Android Overview & Install HS Android Base Pack Download My Tutorials
extracampine Posted June 6, 2018 Author Posted June 6, 2018 Thanks for your reply thatman84. Comparing Hyperlist to other sources such as Wikipedia, there appear to be a large number of discrepancies. I am getting the impression that Hyperlist is somewhat inaccurate. There should be some online source which lists this information more definitively!
Andyman Posted June 6, 2018 Posted June 6, 2018 Most current-day rom, disk and iso sets will get you pretty close to an total number across all regions, but not necessarily a number that suits what you're after. It's very difficult to get a "true" accurate number because of differing opinions on what counts toward that number... do you count all regions, unreleased games, unlicensed, homebrew, educational titles, compilations, samplers, demos, adult, etc. etc. It gets really fuzzy. HL seems intended to list one of each title (usually USA, then Europe, then others, in that order) for most systems, for ease of use purposes. Personally, I love the approach here, mainly because you just gotta draw the line somewhere, or it becomes an impossibly endless quest.
