klizine Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I think that is fixed already in latest. Let me know. i meant the actual rom on your folder.
rfancella Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 Ok test it again 2068 is the number I came up with I removed dupes and a few more. Manually by comparing the 2 databases. Looks like when I get home I have some more roms to delete . Well atleast now when something gets screwed up it will be easy for me to make a new xml.Cheers! What are you using to manipulate the db? Would it be possible to easily add the rating field to the db? I would like to start going through it and adding all the info to flesh it out. Thanks, Ron Code Monkey and all around Command Line geek!If you like what someone has said or done for you, be sure and 'Thank' them. And if they changed your life, send them a Beer!

There is so much awesome stuff going on right now in this Community. Thanks, guys.
floatingyeti Posted January 21, 2015 Posted January 21, 2015 I want to help but I don't want to read through all 1031 posts in this thread. 1. What rom set is this officially using and has someone uploaded it so I can be on the same page? 2. How much of the database is filled? There are many on FTP which are we working on? 3. Are all needed media files in Dougan78's folder or do I have to look in multiple places?
dougan78 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 For Floatingyeti and Ron. As far as adding stuff to the database I believe I got the names of the roms right so they are just Gamebase name (region) so. If you crop the region and do a vlookup in excel you should be able to add whatever info you want to the xml with excel in a matter of minutes. At least it sounds good on the surface anyway. All of the files/database/stuff you need is all in post 1 on where to get it. The only thing the database has now is name and description. So I do not think it would take much effort to add in the rest of the info assuming Gamebase database has the info we need which... I am sure it does(years,mfg,etc). If you are not familiar with excel vlookups and using MS access to view the gamebasedb to dump the tables to excel I can take a look at it after I am done adding artwork. Cheers! and thank you both for your interest in help and c64 goodness.
wahoobrian Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 I'm not sure anyone needs to spend the effort updating the database. We already have a completed one as part of the HyperSpin Project. Honestly, It may be more helpful to try to source as much artwork as possible, create videos, etc... Give myself or brolly a shout if you want to help and we'll get you the database. Not trying to come across negative, just want the c64 effort focused on what still needs done, for all of us. Thanks!

Who would have thought. 6000+ more to go. But if 1 dude can get us that far a little help would probably go a long way. And surprisingly there is quite a bit of artwork actually available rather easily. Thanks brian.

floatingyeti Posted January 22, 2015 Posted January 22, 2015 yeah I will work on artwork but I need to know I'm using the correct and complete database first with all the roms
dougan78 Posted January 22, 2015 Author Posted January 22, 2015 yeah I will work on artwork but I need to know I'm using the correct and complete database first with all the roms Pm wahoobrian then or brolly. Fyi i worked through most of sfodb.com c64sets.com and i am working through commodorehdcovers.com right now. So any thing else you can find have at it.
Dime333 Posted January 23, 2015 Posted January 23, 2015 I just noticed that the description for most if not all multi-disk games are missing the disk info in the DB. It didn't used to be like this, did it? Example below. <game name="4x4 Off-Road Racing (USA) (Disk 1)" index="" image=""> <description>4x4 Off-Road Racing</description> <cloneof></cloneof> <crc></crc> <manufacturer></manufacturer> <year></year> <genre></genre> </game> <game name="4x4 Off-Road Racing (USA) (Disk 2)" index="" image=""> <description>4x4 Off-Road Racing</description> <cloneof></cloneof> <crc></crc> <manufacturer></manufacturer> <year></year> <genre></genre> </game> When scrolling through the games in hyperspin, you just see "4x4 Off-Road Racing" two times. It looks like it's the same game added twice.
dougan78 Posted January 23, 2015 Author Posted January 23, 2015 I think i had clear region tags on rom2xml. Woops. I have more gamez to add beem waiting for the dust to settle from this screw up. I will build another tonight and add games again tomorrow.
dougan78 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 Good to hear. I was afraid it was lost. Nothing is ever lost, except my sanity. But now that my roms are all cleaned up it takes 2 seconds to make a new database. Cheers!
dougan78 Posted January 24, 2015 Author Posted January 24, 2015 i meant the actual rom on your folder. This is fixed. Thanks for catching it.
