I just got a Wonderswan Color, trying to figure out which one I had, I was going though our DB. The variations might be wrong somehow. It's more of a question than a statement as I'm not certain what the errors are.

I think the Wonderswan has 3 versions with color variations in each.
Wonderswan
Wonderswan Color
Wonderswan (Color) SwanCrystal

When you search the DB for "hardware" in the "Bandi WonderSwan / Swan Crystal" "Console:" section of the DB, with "hardware" for type, you get this:

Since there aren't really any pictures for the these, or very few, I had to look elsewhere to see which one I had. Seems like all the part numbers are WSC-001 (?) so that doesn't help.

I found this picture:

That seems to suggest there are only five color variants of the Wonderswan Color rather than the six we have, lines 6,7,8,9,12 and 13 (not counting the FF ones)

Line 6 seems to not exist in light of the others?


And what about the column "Console" in my first pic, does it make sense that some are "Bandi Wonderswan Color" and others "Bandai Wonderswan Color / SwanCrystal" when the actual console doesn't match up? For example lines 1 and 7?


The original "Wonderswan" is a different section of the DB so it's not really part of this, I mentioned it earlier for reference.

Line 6 seems like a generic entry that was later clarified by another release.

The console name in the column is a text string that likely didn't get updated when someone changed the console to reflect the SwanCrystal. It's one of the many database oversights where the text isn't connected to the actual console id.

Looks like we're missing the Gundam version and the Zaku version:

So should the line 6 one be deleted?

Likely, as it's too generic.
There's also a Pure Crystal version that we didn't document. However, since you mentioned Part #s, the boxes have Part #s. For instance, for the Pure Crystal:

Catalog No.    SWJ-777CLC
Item Code    4902425784847
