Edit: Nevermind, I'm an idiot. I didn't understand that there were hard disk images of the games without CRCs.

Thank you for the database.

Nice work @Kondorito, they look fantastic.

Beautiful!

Excellent work. I may add this to my personal setup.

I'm not entirely sure, to be honest. It was that way when I found this community.

If I had to guess, I would suspect it is because Super Famicom is such a huge presence (lots of translated games), that people didn't like the idea of cluttering up their list of American games.

I personally prefer them split, as I enjoy having a separate theme and wheel for the Japanese games. But if you want to combine the two lists, all you have to do is download Don's HyperSpin tools (I prefer the beta release for this task) and use the List Merger tool.

It would be strange to have a Sega Genesis and a Sega Genesis Japan wheel, but for some reason, having the SNES stuff  split doesn't bother me. But then on the other hand, I also have a Sega Saturn Japan wheel. There's no wrong way to build your system.

Also, anything that would qualify as 'Super Famicom' is a no go (as it has it's own xml), so at least one of those games won't work.

Thanks for the suggestions. I made an official thread for this, if you want to be involved in the database development, feel free to drop by.

I feel your pain. All of my work was started with the HyperList version, then I found the thread with the much improved database.

Great work!

Nintendo Famicom is on my radar.

Which database are you using for your wheel project, is it the 'official thread,' or 'hyperlist'?

Amazing work!

I appreciate your concerns Bain408. There are two ways to look at it.

1. Game names should be 100% accurate to what is on the box

2. Game names have already been established, and it sets the community way back when they have to stop and rename all of their images, themes, and videos, just because someone wanted rename the games. 

All of the game names were kept the same from the last database, unless I found something particularly offensive (I don't think I did this time). For the community to move forward we need everyone on the same page. Ideally if you and I collaborate on a project, we could share media, and everything will be named according to the database, so it's a simple matter of dragging and dropping the files where they need to go, instead of spending 30 minutes (or 3 hours if you are inexperienced and don't know about Don's HyperSpin tools) renaming files.

I have mixed feelings on the tags. The No Intro team uses them in their naming conventions. It doesn't do us much good. I would prefer them not to be there. But in the grand scheme of things it is a trivial matter. If enough people disagree and voice their concerns however, I am open to eliminating them. But anytime names get updated or changed in an official database it is a hassle for pretty much everyone.

Thanks, I do what I can.

Looks great to me, except for Tank Wars and Rock 'N' Bolt (the top got cut off, and it needed stroke outline since it was all black).

So, I went ahead and redid those two if anyone cares.  They're not spectacular but they're acceptable.
