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!

Glad you like it!

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'm inclined to agree. That NES game I was talking about, 'Adan y Eva,' I've already got a box art and wheel set up for if/when it does get dumped lol.

Not sure to be honest. It looks like it's some sort of hack or bootleg. Turns out it will run in NullDC. I spent way too much time trying to convert the .mdf file to .cdi with no luck, just so I could play it in Demul lol.
So, it'll stay in the database I'm working on I suppose. There's been a couple of databases I've worked on in the past where the games were unplayable in any emulator, and in one case (NES), a game wasn't even dumped. It's hard to say what to do in a situation like that, do you add it to the database simply because it exists for the sake of being a completionist, or do you leave it out.
I'm inclined to leave everything in.

It should probably be removed from the database.
-
I'm thinking the only version of that game that's floating around is corrupt. It won't work, and it won't mount in Daemon tools.
-
Taking a look at Sega Dreamcast. Currently stumped on how to get the '4 in 1 Shoot 'Em Up' disc to work in Demul lol.
But yeah that's probably next.-

Wow!! Downloading it! I'm building a near-perfect MAME Setup and is very very long work... I'm deleting entries in the database, renaming logos, etc. I'm using the 0.180 database.
I'm sure this will help me a lot.
I have a question. When the database change (from 0.180 to 0.181 for example), does the names of some roms change? So.. if the rom name changes... a full rename is needed with the game logo/intro video/game theme...
What i want to say is... does this set works for me that i have "everything" for 0.180??
Thank you very much!!
If you download this set, and use my logos and my databases, all you would need to do to make everything else work is update your ROMset to 0.181. That's what I would do if I were you. There shouldn't be a substantial difference between 0.180 and 0.181, but some of the game names will have changed, yes.

Atari ST - HyperBase Database 2.0 (Official)

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.
