I've added an Alt. Title for Prototype, as it is on the cover with the [] marks. Somehow this makes the Alt. title not visible:

I suspect this is the Canadian release:

The US release has UPC of 014633192360

the extra media for this submission is sort of a mess. #1 and #2 are pics of the same poster, #3 seems to be the reverse side of that, and #4 (for which i just uploaded a replacement) is the actual reverse side of the standard inlay i have here. don't have any poster myself, preorder stuff it seems, but if my assessment is correct 'extra media' should include one entry for the reverse cover and one for each side of the poster, renamed to reflect that.

EDIT: Reverse Cover is the replacement.

Yeah...Link's Crossbow Training pisses me off. That, in itself, is a discussion best left elsewhere.
It's meant to be entered as advertised on the box. Was it sold as hardware with a bundled game, or a game with bundled hardware? In the case of Link's Crossbow Training, it was the Wii Zapper bundled with Link's Crossbow Training. With Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles, it was Resident Evil with a bundled Wii Zapper.

Yeah Link's Crossbow annoys me. Can't we have just the game as a separate item? I know Metroid Prime Hunters Demo has its own, even though it was only available bundled with the original DS.

Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on May 27, 2014, 12:03:05 PM
Tbh, that's been the trend - people keep adding NFR/Pack-in versions of games to the database just so they can track the component, and it's gotten to the point where it's overwhelming. One of the first things I'm going to re-write when I eventually get to the collection tools.

I'm trying to submit a XBOX Burnout variation, but:

No, it's not there...

Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on June 09, 2014, 02:42:42 PM
Sadly, I've encountered this a bit recently as well if a "Best Seller" type title is in the database already. Please put either an extra letter or two in the title or a variation title (e.g. Original), and put in the Submission Comments that it's the original version and shouldn't have a Variation Title.

Here's the Xbox Classics version in the DB, for reference:

Think that's intentional, based on whether or not the person has it in multiple folders with the "Owned" attribute.
In this particular case, the person has it in their "Collection" folder and a "PS-2" folder.

Whoever approved this changed the console to Nintendo DS. This is a Nintendo Wii game, and I submitted it as such...

It is pretty strange looking at a "DS" game released on a Wii Optical Disc.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors

Resubmitted. Let's hope that doesn't happen again. :P

EDIT: Also, I think I just figured out how it may be possible to set the media format to anything on any console... I'm tempted to test it, but I don't want to mess up the DB.

Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors

Is it a dual mode game? It's in a normal Game Boy cart not a Game Boy Color one.

Correct it is GBC. Project N and Shadow are wrong.

Example: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-069-S-02720-A&type=bf

With the GB/GBC games unless you know what you are looking for you can easily make the mistake since MANY GBC carts were not labeled as Color unless you have the full package. In fact i would be willing to bet fewer have Game Boy Color on the cart than Game Boy.

Again here:
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-069-S-02830-A
No mention of Color unless you own the whole package.

One more for good measure
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-069-S-02190-A

Looks like 2001 was when they finally started putting the GameBoy Color bubble carts into production and by that time the system was already being phased out by the GBA


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on July 28, 2014, 09:12:09 AM
Seriously? :'(

Technically, the cartridge is a Game Boy cartridge with "support" for the Game Boy Color palette, but I wasn't aware they did different packaging. I'm scared for the Game Boy/Game Boy Color Europe database now, as they had a lot of mixed releases.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Izret101 on July 28, 2014, 11:28:07 AM
Pretty much the release year should be a good giveaway. The GBC branding I believe is on every game released 99 and later   But additions should not be being made without verification from a total package.

THANKS NINTENDO FOR THE MULTIPLE YEARS OF OVERLAP FOR EVERY HANDHELD SYSTEM! Luckily everything else had unique media formats.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on July 28, 2014, 11:51:14 AM
Luckily, the games themselves have individual Part #s. It's just the console that's wrong.

Actually no, the clear carts were there from the beginning. Clear carts are GBC-only carts while black carts are dual-mode.

Gotcha

No the black cart Color games are DMG only the Clear/Bubble carts have CGB as the part number prefix. Unless Apollo knows otherwise.

There are fewer than 500 released Gameboy color games (barring the variants).
Now that people are aware of it they know how to properly research to make sure they are not adding/approving games incorrectly.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on July 28, 2014, 02:48:37 PM
It looks like Apollo is fixing a lot of them right now. Thanks!
I meant exactly what you said - DMG carts are the dual and CGB are Color-only, much like DS and DSi games had separate Part # prefixes.

it happened with those extra media scans too, not sure if it's the approver's fault or the site doing something, but i submitted them the same way i always have. i'd just rather not have to keep submitting page edits for something that should be right the first time ;)


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: ApolloBoy on September 07, 2014, 01:55:26 PM
GameFAQs says 1987, which is why I suspect it's listed as 1987. Looks like a few sources say 1986, and MobyGames hilariously states 1984 (2600 release date). I'll look at it in a bit.
I'm actually fairly positive 1987 is the correct release year. I've got some internal Atari sales docs that were shared on AtariAge by Curt Vendel years ago, and Gremlins didn't even show up in the 1986 sales figures (which went from January 1 of that year to January 1, 1987).

Needs "Road to the Final Victory" added to the name.


EDIT: Technically, the series is "Garou Densetsu" or "Garō Densetsu", depending on the version of the Hepburn spelling you use, in Japanese. I updated the name to reflect the Japanese translation, and added the American title to the Alt Title.

Where do we submit info for games that don't have listings yet? For example, I have original US versions of Revenge of Shinobi and Shadow Dancer, but only the later "Sega Classics" pressing is in the database. Shinobi III on the Genesis doesn't seem to appear at all...

Also, Streets of Rage 2 originally came out in 1992 in North America, but the database listing shows 1993.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on December 25, 2014, 07:31:54 PM
You can do it from the Game Info page. For the missing ones, those would be considered variations (version of the same game on the same console), which can also be submitted from a related Game Info page.

Eh, alright. It still needs console to be moved from regular 3DS to new, that's what I was originally talking about.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Boshamp on February 06, 2015, 08:05:49 AM
I would compare it to the Game Boy Micro in the GBA era. Although it is technically different from the system it is categorized under, it would likely still be under the original 3DS since it is not a new generation console release, just a different one within the same generation.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on February 06, 2015, 08:35:09 AM
New 3DS is equivalent to DSi - new console, since there will be games specifically created for it, but it supports the current line of games as well.

Micro was just form factor difference. There were no Micro titles.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: SirPsycho on February 06, 2015, 08:49:37 AM
I would separate it since the hardware in the new 3DS is different from the original, its more like the DSi compared to the original DS line.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Raidou on February 06, 2015, 11:33:06 PM
To support SK and SirPsycho's statements: It is confirmed that the Xenoblade Chronicles port won't  run on the older model 3DS due to processing limitations, so yeah it will have to be a separate console for DB purposes.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Boshamp on February 08, 2015, 03:32:00 PM
But will the games be labeled as "new" 3DS games as well? Or will they be branded as just 3DS? I didn't know there were DSi games separate from plain ol' DS stuff.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on February 08, 2015, 04:56:57 PM
The games haven't been released yet, but it has been CONFIRMED that there will be games that can only run on the New Nintendo 3DS.
There were very few DSi-only games, and many DSi-enhanced games. Foto Showdown is probably the most known one, but the list itself is extremely small (and we've identified a couple that aren't listed here):
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintendo_DSi#Software_library


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Boshamp on February 08, 2015, 10:41:12 PM
So these games beared a different label art to specify they would only work on the DSi, it seems. If the "new" 3DS stuff had a label art that worked similarly, it would make it much easier for us to document.

Noticed front and back scans for a whole bunch of PC titles I uploaded are missing now. Was there a loss of data recently? examples: wargames, myst trilogy to name a few


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on April 28, 2015, 12:10:46 PM
It looks like the Front scans are missing. The image files exist on our FTP server, and wouldn't be subject to the normal data loss that the site has gone through in the past. A missing image would've been caused by a corrupt file or bad path, and the file itself doesn't exist on our FTP server... With that being said, I see that the database states that an image was submitted at one point for the Box Front, and I see the submission from back in February on the Box Front image, but no image exists for it. Odd. I'd have to check the server logs to see what may have happened on the submission, and see if the image just failed to upload to the server.

I just had the same thing happen with Cambot's back scan for Faxanadu. In the preview, the image source didn't load. I'll ask him to resubmit and see what's up, so leave it in the queue and skip any images that won't load for the preview for now.

Same problem as last time - the image extension is JPEG, not JPG. I started approving them and manually renaming them on the FTP server to fix it, and notified Sauza. However, I found something interesting in there that MAY be the cause of our Box Front PC images disappearing. In the mean time, I can't rename the Box Front for Dragon Age II PC.

Database PSA: We need to change Amiibo titles' format to have 'Amiibo' at the beginning for organizational purposes and to match how the other NFC figures are listed.

Glad to see the change - although technically the term "amiibo" is not capitalised.

While we're on the subject:

1. Where did the random capitals come from in Disney infinity. I'm not saying it's wrong. But on the game box and Wikipedia it's either all capitals or just the first letter capital

2. Disney infinity 2.0 was released in 2 different starter packs. As the software is the same, shouldn't these just be variations of each other. And the title should be Disney Infinity 2.0. And a variation title of Marvel Superheroes Starter Pack or ToyBox (or whatever it's called). Thoughts?

I would say that if we were doing the specific line in front like "Amiibo Splatoon: X" but that doesn't sound right either. Amiibo is the catch all term for all the figures in the range so I think it's fine.

I admit that "Amiibo Splatoon: X" does look a bit weird, but I think it's technically more accurate than what we are doing now (Amiibo X [Splatoon]). Maybe "Amiibo: X (Splatoon)"?

ATM collection names are only included as part of the title iff the character appears in multiple collections, and that's a part of the variation title.  The problem is that amiibo from different collections aren't variations of each other (or at least not how we've been using the term 'variation' in the DB).  We don't consider "Final Fantasy" for the PSP to be a variant of "Final Fantasy" for the Wonderswan Colour, so we shouldn't be treating Mario (Super Mario Collection) to be a variant of Mario (Super Smash Bros. Collection).

This US version of disney infinity is just for the disc out of the starter set:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-216-S-01290-A

Although Europe has had the game sold on its own I dont think it was in America (wikipedia states only Europe had the stand alone. Can any of you guys confirm?). It it wasnt sold seperately should it have its own entry in the database?

Obviously if it is left in it will need a variation title added ("Bundled software"?)

Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Schlibby on January 06, 2016, 12:23:28 PM
Thats the case with the releases of all the infinity games all over the world as far as Im aware. Its probably so 2nd hand retailers have something to scan when dopey people loose/destroy the outer box.

Nintendo also do it with their game hardware bundles. And Im sure other manufacturers also do it

Both UPCs should probably be listed under the main entry eg 0123456789 | 987654321. But i dont think it warrants a seperate entry (that would be different if the outer box was listed under hardware eg Links crossbow training).

Thoughts?

EDIT: changed back

It's probably not a good idea to base title formatting on a PAL NFR disc (demos/promos/rentals/betas)

Most PAL demo discs for the PS1 and PS2 spell their titles in lower case.
Most PAL promo discs for the PS1 and early-mid PS2 spell their their titles in lower case.
Most PAL promo discs from the later PS2 era onward spell their titles in upper case.
Most (all?) PAL rental discs for the PS1 use lower case and most (all?) PAL beta discs for the PS2 are all caps.

Don't know if this is the correct post, but want to make a quick question regarding the submission of games

I have been updating and adding games from my collection, and in the field PART #: is normally the number in the BOX/CASE that is different from the CART/GAME. Not checked all but the majoraty have the part number of the box and not the game, is this the correct procedure?

Example here, for the Aladdin (megadrive EU)
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-040-S-01030-A
GAME BOX PART # 670-3617-50  (used on game details)
GAME CART PART # 670-3616-50
GAME MANUAL PART # 670-361?-50  (don't know in this case and i'm not near the game but is also different)

This question just came now, because i need to catalog my loose carts and in this case (for loose carts) the PART # will be always diferent the one in the box/case that is normally used.

This and it's variants need to be deleted. It was from when I accidentally added them as eShop titles which I've now added as VC releases. Sorry, please and thank you.

This hardware( RF Switch MK-3088) is on the wrong console

http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/gethwinfo.php?ID=E-031-H-00100-A
Is in Master system section and it should be on Mega Drive section

The RF Swith for Master system is diferent and the model is MK-3092



PS: About my previous and quoted post , any news (negative or positive)??
Maybe there are a mistake here http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/gethwinfo.php?ID=E-072-H-00290-A

It's on Hardware section, but i think it should be considered Software. It's a DISC, that also have a game (the name of the game is HARDWARE ONLINE)

This generally came bundled with the Network/HDD adaptor for PS2 FAT models.

Don't think the McDonald's sonic speedway is related to the other 2 here:

In fact, that looks like a certain hedgehog poorly pressed into the maccy D's one.

Anyway, the McDonald's one probably shouldn't be linked to the other 2

There are issues with the New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U entries

First off, this entry is the "Retail Release": http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-202-S-00860-A

While this entry should be the "Not for Resale" / Wii U bundled version but is labeled as the Retail release: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-202-S-00861-A

The "not for resale" / bundled version has a different UPC then the retail version and came in a blue DVD case as opposed to the later retail release that came in a red DVD case.

The entry that is labeled as the retail release in the database also as the incorrect part number.  Should be "WUP P ATWE USZ"

The years are also swapped... the retail release came out in 2015 while the bundled version came out in 2013.

Not exactly sure where to post this but I'm using the tool to find missing images for entries in my collection and on the IBM/PC area it's showing games as not needing scans but when I click on them, they are missing the front box scan.  For example, Age of Empires Gold, II and II's expansion were not showing as "Scans needed" but none of them had the front of the box scan.  I have submitted images for them but just wanted to give you a heads up as it's showing up wrong in the tool.

Post by: Shadow Kisuragi on October 09, 2016, 10:22:46 PM
We had an issue a while back where ALL of our Front Box scans for IBM PC disappeared off our server, but the scans were never removed by the system so the flag was never updated. I'll see about finding out which ones are wrong. Thanks for the heads-up.

Hi guys, I got a couple of submissions that have been hanging around for a while and just thought I would check on them.  One of them (Unreal) hasn't been that long but the other one (Guitar Hero Controller) has been a few weeks.  I know on that one I hit enter before filling everything out so not sure if that's why it got hung up or not.  Let me know if you need something from me.

Yeah, I got about 20 submissions rejected by Fleebitten saying "needs to be at least 550 pixels on the short side, not the longer side".  It was strange as some submissions for 1 game got approved while others didnt (front vs back) and the image was scaled the same on both.  I'll have to double check it later today and re-submit them.


Also, posted this on the previous page so you might not have seen it.

The images are supposed to be 550px on the short side, though there is some inconsistency on whether or not to accept images of other dimensions.
What's wrong with the image? Loads fine for me.

You could implement an automatic check that will reject an image if one of the dimensions is less than 550px.
I see the upload page is using PHP, so this should help: http://php.net/manual/en/function.getimagesize.php

What's wrong with the image? Loads fine for me.
Try loading this: http://www.rfgeneration.com/images/games/U-027/bf/U-027-S-00020-B.jpg
Code:
Warning: imagecreatefromjpeg(): gd-jpeg, libjpeg: recoverable error: Premature end of JPEG file in /home/rfgene2/public_html/PHP/watermark.php on line 131

I know, I know. Give me a little bit of time for things to calm down around the house. I just graduated, and have more time, but my wife has her PhD residency next week. I'll have time then to do something.

The problem is not rejecting an image if it's 550px or not. The problem is scaling to 550px, and doing it intelligently, as I don't want to reject someone's image just because it's not 550px. It doesn't accomplish my end goal of allowing images to be submitted from mobile.

Post by: tactical_nuke on October 28, 2016, 03:58:27 PM

My bad, you can resubmit that one if you like. Look up the program 'Photosizer'. It makes submitting correctly sized images way easier.

No problem guys,  I've just been using paint.net to resize them.  I guess I actually read the photo upload instructions wrong up to this point.  I read it as the photo cannot exceed 550px on one side, not just the short side.  I've been scaling the long side down to 550px on all my submissions.

Considering it's Rajaat, and Regionwide, it's likely a Humble Bundle release. I believe that's supposed to be Anomaly Warzone Earth, which after the release of Anomaly 2 was known as just "Anomaly".

Not exactly an error but I guess it's something to note: I noticed Tom and Jerry for SNES had a Majesco release that wasn't in the DB so I added it:
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-044-S-06360-B
It came with scans already added to the page. I'm guessing the title existed at some point and got deleted so when the page came into existence again the pics point at their respective title. I think I've seen it happen before. Only problem is that the credits for the uploader are no longer there. :(

Saturday Morning RPG [Soundtrack] (U-215-S-02151-A) should really be deleted or merged with the normal Saturday Morning RPG (   U-215-S-02150-A) entry.  The soundtrack was just an add-on and not part of the overall packaging.  LRG has sold other games since then in this way and there are not separate entries for those (with or without soundtrack).

This should also be a region wide release, not just US.

Hey. The database doesn't like it when you add games with the same title for the same console.
Just add with the title "Wheel of Fortune PLEASE DELETE THIS TEXT" with a submission note explaining and we will sort when approving.

This series of units that look like this were made in 2005. The 1995 model is the same style but has completely different aesthetics.  I wouldnt really say its a completely different machine just a newer model

Oh, I see. It's a 2005 game and the one in the database is the 1995 one. Sorry, long day.

If you think it's the same game with a different shell add it as a variation. If it's a different game then add it like I said above

I submitted an addition for Cave Story + for the Switch labeled as "Launch Edition w/ Keychain" (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-231-S-00150-A) and it looks like it got modified and added as a variation of a "normal" Cave Story + entry (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-231-S-00150-B).  Technically, all versions that came out yesterday are "Launch Editions" which have a soundtrack CD bundled inside of it.  The one I submitted was a gamestop exclusive which also has a keychain sealed inside of it.  

http://gonintendo.com/stories/281571-cave-story-gets-multiple-goodies-for-its-retail-launch-edition?page=1

Maybe it should be:

Cave Story + (Launch Edition)
Cave Story + (Launch Edition w/ Keychain)

I'm assuming any non "launch edition" of the game will not have the CD packaged in.

No, sir, I don't like it.

The version sold in Australia is actually the European version (EUR coded) which was imported by Metro Games.  It uses the same components as the EUR version, but has a Metro Games sticker and an OFLC ratings sticker plastered on the front.  There is NOT an AUS coded version of this game.

That's not an Australian logo, that's a BBFC rating logo which is still used today. Oddly enough I can't seem to find evidence that LE II was released in Europe other than Portugal and the UK, every copy I've seen has the BBFC rating and I've never seen it for sale by European mainland sellers.

As for changing regions, I think that function's only limited to database editors and above.

Just had a look at that lethal enforcers ii. That is obviously a BBFC logo on it. However it does have the multiple European languages which is what we generally use to determine which countries to assign it to. Wouldn't be unheard of for a UK certification to be stuck on a pan-European release back in the day (this is before PEGI was introduced and I believe ratings were optional).

The database is thankfully moving away from generic European releases so really the game should at least be assigned to each of the countries corresponding to the languages on the box. This would make more sense with e.g. Toze's Portuguese specific releases. But then just about every mega drive game in the database is set to European so would be a huge job for someone to update that without much real payoff. It's more relevant for non-Sega releases where every country would get its own variant.

Eheh Portugal is a very small country but it's in mainland Europe.
It was sold here, and I have photos of the game with Portuguese labels and manual, that I will submit soon.

I saw that the Euro variation already have the bbfc rating, but not the Portuguese.
Also the Portuguese games always comes with game rating , like this "CE +3" .

Agree, for Sega retro games, except the dreamcast, I would say that 95% of the games titles have an European region wide variation. So going to change all that to only the languages of the box isn't the most correct and will be a huge job.
There are some games that had translations for German, because Germany was a big market, besides that most of the games are in English, and some could have French and Spanish to choose.
In Portugal we get a lot of repack in that time, made by Ecofilmes, so we get imports from the Pal , genesis and also a Japanese game that came with an adaptor. Most of then have repackaged box, reprinted or with stickers with Portuguese description, rating, part# and some with Portuguese UPC. In some cases it's a great confusion, but I'm working on that with others Portuguese collectors.
Even now we have repackaged games by ecofilmes, now it's ecoplay, because they have the rights for square enix, Sega, konami, and others.

That still makes it an Australian release though since it has somewhat unique packaging.

Could be moved to PS2 section, or it's better to create a new one on the right console and ask to delete this entry?

I would disagree if this was a single amiibo, only available as part of the game bundle. After all someone may buy that amiibo on the second hand market. However as these are both available individually I agree the double pack can go

Ultima 4 for the master system is a bit of a mess.

The game is listed quite a few times for different countries but all the details and box pictures are the same then there's a Europe wide one listed with better pictures but again the same details.

Don't have time to look into this properly now but had a quick glance. Most likely the proper country ones are correct and the generic European one needs to be deleted (with owners shifted to the UK version).

Like you point out theres some decent scans on the generic Europe one that can probably be shifted before deletion

Don't know if any of then should be deleted/merged, for me all make sense, because have country specific package (extra manual in specific language). In the mobile application all look the same, because there are no access to extras, but on the website there are extra images and/or trivia to explain the diferences.

I think they should be like they are now, and just to note, this additions were made by @madir who is one of the big collectors of Marter System Games on this community.

All covers and manual present I believe are the same with multi-language description on back cover and possible multi-language manual. The difference are in the extras.

I hadn't submited the Portuguese varition, but soon i get the specific codes and picture i will submit also this.

I'm not positive but I think there are 3 prints (original, 2nd, 3rd) of LOZ Twilight Princess on Wii.

This one listed as Alternate UPC has a part number of 62483A and a UPC ending with 00000 which I believe should be the original release.
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-132-S-00010-B

This one which is the primary entry, has a part number of 61602B and a UPC ending with 00101 which I believe should be the second printing.
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-132-S-00010-A

Finally, this one is listed as a 2nd print with a part number of 61602C and a UPC ending with 00102 which I believe should be the third printing.
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-132-S-00013-A

Not sure exactly where to post this...

Play-Asia / eastasiasoft is releasing a new version of Rainbow Moon for the PS4 and Vita.  There is already a Region Free release though LRG.  I tried adding this new version as a new entry and it wouldn't let me so I tried adding it as a variation of the LRG and changing the publisher and it wouldn't let me submit either.

What did you put as the release type? Should be alternative publisher. And yes it should be added as a variant with a variant title (Play Asia). In this case seomone will also need to add a variant title to the limited run release.

If it still doesn’t accept put an x at the end of the main title and in the comments ask the reviewer to remove the x. Occasionally the system will incorrectly flag a duplicate and the title trick will allow it to go theough

OK, follow along with me lol.

The current front and back images for Oddworld: Munch Oddysee HD are actually the PAX East 2018 cover variant.

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=W-189-S-00500-A

They apparently sent some of these out with regular orders back when they shipped them out.  I did not realize I got a variant cover and submitted the pictures as the normal cover.  

I have submitted a variation entry for the PAX version of the game (not approved yet of this post) and the 2 images need to be moved to it instead.

Here is some reference (see thread):  https://twitter.com/LimitedRunGames/status/981218325979123712

Post by: toze3 on August 10, 2018, 09:13:10 AM
Just did a quick search on ebay, just to be sure all manuals and carts (assembled in Uk) and looks like so.

The minor difference is the CE logo, being the most commum the variation without the CE logo.

So will create the other 2 variations

The without CE will not add any variation title, and the other two I'm thinking in:
For the existing one -> [CE Logo - White BKG]
New entrie - [CE Logo - No BKG]

PS- I'm thinking in not adding the name "Logo" just to be shorter.
and add the extra photos and trivia on all of them.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Raidou on August 10, 2018, 09:24:22 AM
"White CE" and "Hollow CE" may be more concise.  these are also the terms used to describe NES seals.

Not much point in having the trivia if all 3 variations are in the db, and the extra media image are redundant if they are present on their respective entries.  While it is arguable what is appropriate for the "Extra Media" section, I'm of the opinion that any "Extra Media" images should be directly related to the variant itself.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: toze3 on August 10, 2018, 09:30:02 AM
Thanks I like that, even shorter!!

DONE. Just add for now the back cover that show the difference, because need to scan the other parts of the game, and I just scanned the back box for the trivia.

About Extra media, I agree, besides we need to have the ability to have images on RFG server for Trivia.

ES     Part# 5449-06 (spine) / 670-5449-06 (above EAN) / no info, but smaller manual (less pages than EU)
FR     Part# 5449-09 (spine) / 670-5449-09 (above EAN) / no info but smaller manual (less pages than EU)
UK    Part# 5449-05 (spine) / 670-5449-05 (above EAN) / 672-2007-05 (English Manual - Same P# of the Brick Version)
    
Should I create the variants or leave the information on Trivia?
   
About the Brick UK:  
Part# 670-5448-50 (Cartridge) / 670-5449-50 (above EAN) / 672-2007-05 (English Manual - Same P# of the Brick Version)

Each of these variations have an observable difference in the cover inlay, so they should be separate entries- ESPECIALLY if some of those variants are specific to a single country.

Also, while we're on the topic of PAL Mega Drive (and by extension Master System):
I've noticed that Australian releases published by Sega often have a unique clamshell case identifying the distributor (Ozisoft or Sega Ozisoft) in the plastic itself.  Are there any other PAL countries that do this?


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: toze3 on August 17, 2018, 10:38:46 AM
For master system I think it's only ozisoft.
Of course the tec toy, but thats brazil, but all games run in PAL consoles, I have some, and there was some imports from there by ecofilmes, being the most know the portuguese purples. (box and cart were produced by Tec toy in Manaus, Brazil).
There are one cases that have some kind of tape on the sides, but I haven't yet figured their origin. Some are found here in Portugal, they look like to came from Australia, but there are some UPC codes that relate to Sounth Africa, but could be some store specific UPC, because I don't find ownership for any of the UPC I found.


Regarding MEGA DRIVE
I'm finding a lot of small variants of Mega Drive games, specially for Codemasters games released on UK with diferent covers and codes near the UPC . (Just bought 70 games from Uk and I'm cataloging them  ehehe)

Codemasters code examples, with minor changes on the box:
-Brian Lara Cricket (UK)- [V1] and [001057 V2] - Same cart, only have V1 with manual
-Brian Lara Cricket 96 (UK) - [1508-V1] and ??
-Sampras Tennis 96 (UK)- [1103 V1] and [1103 V2] - Cart and manual equal
-Micro Machines Turbo Tournament 96 (UK) - [1275 V1]
-Super SkidMasters (UK) - [1329 V1]
-Super SkidMasters (EU) - [1332 V1] -> this is on DB with UK variatin images, both have the same UPC

Also the TENGEN games, have in some cases releases with coloured manual and others black&white

And finnaly have to change also the streets of rage II, because there are at least 3 variations in europe



Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: toze3 on August 17, 2018, 11:11:46 AM
Also other issue is this game:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-040-S-01440-A
It have specific country list, but maybe is better to classify as euro wide.  The portuguese version is a repack of this, with portuguese manuals and stickers with description/overview.


And by last but not the least: The mega drive/genesis ballistic/accolade releases (cardboard boxes), they are most of then in USA, but at the beggining I had a reject submission for the Euro variation, and started a discussion by making this as worldwide releases...in my opinion they should be US like they are now and also Euro, because most of them had repacked manuals in French/German...

For some reason the quote button isn't working, but - if there are variants, they can be added with appropriate indications of changes as long as there is an identifier. If it is same game in a different regions box, please just be sure it is a true variant and now a cobbling together of different items after the fact.

If Fantastic Dizzy needs fixed, please post in the incorrect region thread and I will fix.

If the same game was resold in Europe from Accolade and they changed the manuals, that would be a separate item. From what you are describing, I wouldn't classify that as worldwide.

I started working on the first one, but then I stopped. Why are the new ones added as software and not hardware?


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: tactical_nuke on October 08, 2018, 11:05:36 PM
Most Plug and Play games are in the DB as software, even compilation ones. I don't think there's rules established for this, but I think listing them all as software is the right choice, otherwise they'd all be seperate consoles, no?


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Duke.Togo on October 08, 2018, 11:28:13 PM
The reason it caught me is there are game images, but not hardware images. Not sure if I can move images across types, but I could try.

There seems to be a mix of how they are entered. We probably need a standard going forward. Thoughts?


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: tactical_nuke on October 08, 2018, 11:56:46 PM
Ah, I see. I can resubmit the NA pics if you can't move them. I'm voting for having all Plug & Play entries stay as/change to software. Stand-alone handhelds go by the same logic. You can't swap games out so they should be classified as a single game. The Pong Console console-type has the same problem. Half of them are systems and the others are software. We should assess which ones use swappable cartridges and make them full-fledged consoles.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Duke.Togo on October 12, 2018, 06:03:18 PM
I have mixed feelings on this, as hardware means hardware in general, not particularly a console. So these mini consoles actually are hardware that play multiple games, although not removable or changeable.

As far as my opinion goes, if I can't play my NES/SNES carts or PS1 discs with it, it's a Plug & Play. As for it being Hardware/Software in this category, I can see either, but I think we need every P&P entry to be consistent.

Speaking of Hardware/Software, why are all the "cheat devices" listed as hardware?  Stuff like Action Replays and Game Genies.   I know you don't "play" them but technically aren't they software?  Especially the disc version ones.  

About the only ones I would consider Hardware would be the Saturn and PS1 Action Replays as they actually plug into different ports then the game port.

Just a random thing I always thought was a little strange.

I have noticed two duplicate entries in the database that should be somehow resolved. 

Both the NES and SNES classic editions are entered as hardware under the respective consoles and as software under plug and play TV games. 

NES classic:
1. http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/gethwinfo.php?ID=U-027-H-01010-A
2. http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-00J-S-01580-A

SNES classic:
1. http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-00J-S-01570-A
2. http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/gethwinfo.php?ID=U-044-H-00620-A

It appears this may be the case for several regions as well.  For consistency it seems they should only be in one category.   

This may also bring up a broader question of how should these "classic" consoles be handled in the database?  Are they all considered "Plug & Play TV Games", a part of the console they are based on, or their very own new category of "Classic Consoles"?  It may be sensible to make a category exclusively for throwback consoles like these as more are hitting the market with the NEO GEO and and upcoming Playstation adding to the field.

Hey. Thanks for the heads up.

These are actually on the staff list to be sorted already. They should be plug and plays. There’s a bit of a discussion as to whether these things should be Software or hardware but I think we are leaning more towards software

Something weird is up with this one. There is nothing stored on the DB side for the extra media, which is why you can't fix it. I'd need someone that could look at the page coding to figure out where it is pulling this data from.

Not sure where else to put this - this isn't compatible with the Nintendo 64, so I think this should be removed from the Nintendo 64 DB.  The controller ends in a phone jack-style connector and was only utilized with a hotel service.

Here's a better look at the cable end: https://www.ebay.com/i/173667289626?chn=ps

I don't think it should necessarily be deleted, but it doesn't belong in the Nintendo 64 side of the DB.

I don't really know anything about 360 but this looks pretty English to me. A French release would have French on it. Could be one of those generic European ones where English is used but would oftern say not for sale in the UK. But under the database standards we put those in the UK for simplicity.

Happy to be corrected on this.

I would say though just submit your version as a packaging variation. Alternative UPC as the var title

Ok, that works for me

A quick google search of the EAN brings up results from Finland and Sweden, so it appears to be the Scandinavian version (as far as I can tell this variant was only for Scandinavia but I could be wrong)-- Scandinavian releases are sometimes wholly in English, and don't always identify themselves as Scandinavian variants.  I've changed the region for that entry to Denmark/Finland/Norway/Sweden,  although if any other staff member is dissatisfied by this, let me know.

Getting the following error when trying to submit it as the United Kingdom region

This title appears already in the database for the selected Title, Console, and Region. This error might also imply that a variant of the game you just attempted to enter already exists in the database Check via the search page to see if the title is not in the database already.

Not an error but more of a question.

What's the general consensus on something like this?

http://rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-040-S-04211-A

This game got both a clamshell and a cardboard re-release.  There is only one entry for it in the database. I'm assuming the clamshell was first.  Do you modify the existing entry to specify it's a clamshell or do you just add an additional entry for the cardboard one and not do anything with the original?

clamshell: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Pacman-2-The-New-Adventures-Sega-Genesis-Complete-S2G/232697325631?epid=1700273079&hash=item362dd7683f:g:srwAAOSwgc1aqJdJ:sc:USPSFirstClass!62040!US!-1:rk:12:pf:0

cardboard: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Sega-Genesis-PAC-MAN-2-The-New-Adventures-RARE-Cardboard-BOX-Vers-COMPLETE-MINT/153321725608?epid=2636&hash=item23b2afdea8:g:5jkAAOSw~jJaryDW:rk:33:pf:0

Both are Ballistic re-releases.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Schlibby on January 14, 2019, 12:57:50 PM
I always add a variation title for any game that doesn’t come as a standard release for that console (assuming that game has variants of course). Original releases can always have a variant title if it clarifies something unusual.

I actually extend variant titles to unusual games even if they don’t have variants in some cases. Eg download (where not a download platform), code in box, homebrew etc


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Bear78 on January 14, 2019, 01:03:41 PM
Maybe I should have been more clear on my question.

The current entry is "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures [Accolade/Ballistic Rerelease]"

This doesn't specify the release as clamshell or cardboard.

So, should the current entry be changed to "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures [Accolade/Ballistic Rerelease - Clamshell]" and then add a second entry "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures [Accolade/Ballistic Rerelease - Cardboard]"

OR

should it just be left as "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures [Accolade/Ballistic Rerelease]" and add a new entry called "Pac-Man 2: The New Adventures [Accolade/Ballistic Rerelease - Cardboard]"?


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: tactical_nuke on January 14, 2019, 03:29:21 PM
Since both entries are Accolade rereleases, they should both have variant titles that help tell them apart. Since there’s no unique part number/upc/scans to pinpoint which one the current page is, your first option is best in this situation.

The variation title was changed to "Nintendo Version", but the year and box image are for the BANDAI version.  

No details were changed. I added the photo today.

It’s a Nintendo version as opposed to a Mattel version. NES was originally released as a Mattel version in UK, Italy and Australia (hence PAL A). Consoles said Mattel Version on the cartridge slot and Mattel handled distribution.

Mattel very quickly stopped distribution in the UK. Consoles changed to saying NES Version on the cartridge flap.

Bandai presumably were distributing after Mattel, but their input was much more subtle.


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Raidou on January 31, 2019, 12:41:18 AM
I have issue  with the term, "Nintendo Version" as this version wasn't distributed by Nintendo (Nintendo UK didn't exist until 1993)-- the term, "Nintendo Version" is used in the DB to indicate that Nintendo is the distributor (as compared to the Mattel Version or THE Games Version).  

If the entry is using the term, "Nintendo Version" when it really means "NES Version" (which is what's printed on the console itself) then this should probably be changed.

Do we add "bundles" that were created by a specific retailer?  For this listing: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-064-S-01900-B, it looks like we added this based off of this: https://imgur.com/IYqbgRA.

That looks very much like the bundles I remember being created by Sam's Club themselves, and judging by the non-Nintendo UPC on the back of the packaging I feel 95% confident in saying that Nintendo never released this.

Do we keep track of these things? Or should something like this be removed?


Title: Re: Game / Hardware database errors
Post by: Schlibby on May 25, 2019, 03:03:50 PM
I would say we do allow stuff like this if it can be proved and do en mass by a major retailer. So really it should be cellophane wrapped with some sort of slip identifying the bundle and retailer (or a similar presentation).

Is this even a game? There's titles of LucasArts games in the Alt Title, but what do they have to do with anything?

Ok, I searched for this and can't find it and I can't believe it's not in the system already.  I recently got a copy of a Night Stalker manual for the Sears Tele-Games.  Can someone do a search and see if this is in the system?
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-005-S-01020-A
Check this out. If it’s not this release, you may have stumbled upon a strange early US release before they renamed it to Dark Cavern.

I opened up the manual and I believe it is for the Intellivision not the Atari 2600 like I originally believed as it has a picture of an Intellivision controller in the manual.  I did a search for it under the Intellivision and still no luck on a variant.  Here is a picture of the manual:

@toze3: I have no experience with the Wonder Swan, so hopefully someone else can chime in.

This and it’s variants should be under the nelsonic game watch console: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-00H-S-06351-A

I added that UK version and tidied up the US versions earlier this week. Never realised that was a proper Game Watch console. I'll move it over. Thanks for pointing that out

EDIT - Can someone activate Game Watch for the UK please? Technically its Zeon over here not Nelsonic

I can't remember if I messaged you on this or not, but it is active for Europe now, so let me know if you have issues.

@shaggy - From the look of it to me, I think this is the Sears Intellivision version manual.

Sorted.

I've never figured out how you can tell the difference between a US AES and a Euro version. But I've taken your word for it that this is correct (plus checking other databases).

On the same topic do the US version of Ultimate 11: Super Sidekicks 4:
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-043-S-00820-A

and Kizuna encounter:
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-043-S-00400-A

actually exist? From what the interweb says these two are insanely rare European versions only (and Japanese).

From all of the circles I've talked with, and everything I've been able to research online, all three of these games had been exclusive Euro releases (albeit in extremely limited production).  I've got a confirmed Euro version, and there isn't much on the way of distinguishable Euro characteristics.

This is weird. For some reason, when I un-tie all the Cruise 2's, then re-tie the 2's together, it keeps tying it back to 1.

For now I've untied all entries for 1 and 2. I'll leave it a couple of days to "settle". Then I'll try tying them together again

International Superstar Soccer 64 is a bit of a mess of a release - it was initially released in Japan as Jikkyou J.League Perfect Striker in December '96 (https://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=J-064-S-01080-A), and later received an international release in '97 as International Superstar Soccer 64 (https://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-064-S-01030-A).  However, later in '97, Konami released an updated version exclusively for the Japanese market as Jikkyou World Soccer 3 (https://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=J-064-S-01510-A).  We currently link World Soccer 3 to the Superstar Soccer 64 releases, but based on the part numbers I'm leaning towards making Perfect Striker as the variant and removing the variations from the World Soccer 3 listing.

The game pak IDs:


Perfect Striker: NUS-NJPJ-JPN
Superstar Soccer: NUS-NJPE-USA
World Soccer 3: NUS-NJ3J-JPN

Because N64 game pak IDs tend to have the same initial three letters after NUS (NJP) for these releases, I think we should remove World Soccer 3 (NJ3) from the other variations and make Perfect Striker the variation instead.

Hmmm. Just looked these up in a guide book I have and it matches them up in the same way they already are in the database. So I'd be hesitant to change the variations without knowing more about the content differences across the 3 versions.

Got it - I would tend to default to the game pak ID, but a guide is probably a good indicator of which variant is which.  Thanks for the help!

Consistency and specificity. All pack-in games that I've seen in the database like Mario/Duck Hunt don't have the NES system as their box. Not to mention certain titles get packed into several different variants. Also it just looks off in general.

I accidentally submitted a hardware entry with the name "Megaaster I".
This should be "MegaMaster I".
I was also going to change the alternate title to "MegaMaster 1" instead of "Megamaster 1"

I don't think this should be a valid variant as in the end, it's just like other LRG games with reversible covers.  They did sell this one where you could pick the cover you wanted facing out but it's still reversible.  If anything, it would just be a trivia note.

Original entry: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-231-S-02670-A

Questionable one: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-231-S-02670-B

Here is the wording from their site: "This release includes beautiful reversible cover art and a full-color booklet. Both covers have been sealed facing out and always feature the other cover on the reverse. You can choose which cover you want sealed outwards from the drop-down menu above."

I feel like that can be noted in the users game notes section as to which cover they have sealed facing out.  It's not really a true, unique version IMO as both covers are included in the package.

There are a couple versions of Chase H.Q. for Game Boy, where the US releases don't jive. This one has the original release designation, DMG-HQ-USA:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-037-S-00980-A

But the photo attached is for the Natsume rerelease, which is this entry, designated DMG-HQ-USA-1:

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-037-S-00980-B

The photo from A just needs to be moved to B, presumably, and then once that's corrected, I might take a photo of the original Taito logo version, and submit that.

No other pack-in title is like that in the DB, as far as I know. Also it would be redundant to have the same box pics uploaded twice for different entries.

Hi there, I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but I wasn't sure where else to put this.  I was looking at the Collection Checklists and I found a game that didn't exist on the checklist but it does exist in the database, with variants even.  Is there any idea as to why this may be?  The game in question is Fire Emblem Echoes on 3DS.

It’s probably to doing with region/country issues. The game is set as US not North American. So if you set the checklist to North American it won’t show up.

You probably want to pick US and tick the box to include regionwide games also

How do I generate a USA checklist?  It doesn't appear as an option on this page.

Scroll down on the drop down in the top left.

Ignore what I said about the checkbox for including region wide releases. I don’t go on the checklist page so I was mistaken there

Can we remove this entry from the other variations that are currently tied to it? Although it has the same name as the other variations, this is a completely different controller so it shouldn't be tied in as a variation.


Done. I had to create a new entry for it and I also tied it to the MakoPad since those are essentially the same controller.

Is this image copied from another website? Looks a bit off to me.


It does look a bit strange but a reverse image search couldn't turn up anything and I couldn't find another box scan that matched exactly. I'm leaving in place for the time being.

Incorrect box scans

Believe it or not, this is my original copy and how it came.  From what I understand, the E cart is a strange variation.  I don't believe there is a box with the E rating on it and all the E carts came in K-A boxes. I know I read this somewhere in the past but of course I can't find it.

There's technically 2 different "E" versions too I believe. A DMG-ZL-USA-2 and a DMG-ZL-USA-3.  The 2 came with a Target GameBoy Pocket Bundle.

I think the variation titles for the Newport Controls Prostick II need changed.
Artwork box: http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/gethwinfo.php?ID=U-999-H-06140-A
Photo box: http://www.rfgeneration.com/PHP/gethwinfo.php?ID=U-999-H-06140-B
The way it is done now makes it seem like the only difference is the packaging when the joysticks themselves are actually different.
The one listed as "photo box" has a second button (both buttons are functionally the same) and it adds a 4-way and 8-way gate switch on the joystick.

One of the DB Admins has to remove it.

Any idea when I search for it that it doesn't show the NA version, it only shows two other countries?  I did select each of the countries that showed up to see if maybe it was listed under them titles but they weren't.  Also, when I go to add, choose US, PS4, Software, and search for little nightmare it doesn't come up.  I also did a search for little in both cases and it doesn't come up.  Search may not be working 100%?

Been bothering me for some time now but this release probably isn't legit - http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-131-S-04701-A
It's basically the collector's edition with a couple extra goodies tacked on. I think I was confused by the semi official-looking promotional graphics here - https://www.webhallen.com/se/product/195604-Dark-Souls-II-2-Webhallen-Edition-incl-Early-Access-Weapons-Pack
I'd just drop it from the database.

EDIT: Oh yeah to clarify - it didn't have unique packaging, it really was just the collector's edition (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-131-S-04700-A) with some extra items on the side.

We dont concern ourselves too much with where the variants were actually sold. It would create a massive headache and just wouldnt work.

However we try not to do generic Europe as the site would end up like all the other sites on the internet that dont track European variants at all. So generally we use box languages to determine the country. Ie English = UK, French = France etc.

So regarding the release you mention, if the language is English only then just leave it as UK. If it has French and Dutch on the box with equal prominence then add France and Netherlands

Got a whole bunch of games in my order and they're all UK english only - Problem is that the version already in the db (http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-215-S-05880-A, EAN 0810023033240) was already set to UK english only without any pics so I had to give mine one of those weird variation titles. I guess without any scans of the previously submitted version my print will have to keep the weird variant title, I just have my suspicions that the old one isn't UK exclusive. No way to tell for sure tho =P too bad I can't find any scans with that EAN on eBay.

I get you.

I managed to find an image of the back of this other version (EAN ending in 240). It has both English and French on the back. Not sure what the market is as both a pure English exists (yours) and pure French. It's probably a kind of generic release that can be put out in a number of smaller countries.

I've added yours as the main UK release

I can't find any evidence that a Majesco version of Game Gear X-Men exists.  

http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-045-S-02540-A

Not listed on Sega Retro either: https://segaretro.org/X-Men_(Game_Gear)


Done, I couldn't find any evidence either.

Most of my submissions have been approved but have a few that have been sitting in limbo for quite some time.

Wonder if I did something wrong with these? Have submitted after and others have gotten approved. 

All Switch Games, all regions other than USA:
Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth
デススマイルズ I・II[Deathsmiles I & II]
魔犬大騷亂 (中/英文版)[Super Cane Magic ZERO]
Trigger Witch
Kowloon High-School Chronicle
Fatal Frame: Maiden of Black Water
DEEEER Simulator: Your Average Everyday Deer Game
Smashing The Battle

Really late catch here but I once submitted this release - http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-095-S-03310-A
It came with a buncha bonuses but I didn't give it any variant name for editions because it didn't say so, other than on a sticker on the wrapping. I used to be more reluctant to use the variant name feature if a release looked like it was the only edition available. Even when they call it "Day One Edition" or something like that (for example http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-189-S-01100-A).

Anyway, another user did add a version with the same EAN and called it the CE and I think that's a double and should be deleted - http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-095-S-03310-B
Also I should probably add "Collector's Edition" to the first version.

I was adding a bunch of stuff to this release here - http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-240-S-00370-A
before realizing it's actually a double of this release here - http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-240-S-00380-A that was admitted later into the db. I'd suggest deleting mine, the second entry. Also they're both strictly french releases, even if they're distributed more widely than that.

I created a variation for Wyvern Tales for the Atari Lynx here: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-038-S-00021-A

Since I created a variation from the original, the region is showing Europe.  The game was developed in Europe I believe and it was originally published in Europe I think.  The variation I created was published by Songbird Productions, which is an American company.  Should the region be changed?  Can it even be changed once created?  If it has to be deleted then it should cause too much of a problem since all of one person has it on their wish list and none claim ownership.

The "box-front-image" for this hardware entry should actually be the "hardware" image. I have an image of the packaging to submit and don't want to overwrite the current image as it's a good picture of the dust cover.

So I mentioned this before but I made a mistake and listed this as an IBM PC game and it was accepted but its really from Steam, which is a PC mostly thing yes, but technically its still wrong since Steam is a separate category here.

How are variations supposed to be handled that have the same UPC? The Switch game Horizon Chase Turbo has

1 "Horizon Chase Turbo" - normal version
2 "Horizon Chase Turbo [Special Edition]"

both with UPC 897790002198. The SE is already in the DB here, but I want to add the regular version as I have that. Thanks

Legit question, and after falling into a bit of a rabbit-hole on this particular title, I definitely understand the confusion.  Generally, variants and re-releases have different UPC codes, but not this bad boy.  There are at least three variants with the same UPC (Day, Night, Night with 'Special Edition" that includes a Thank You card) not to mention a Steel Book, other regions, and a 'Senna' edition.  Now I see why so many db editors end up leaving or find themselves in nice white jackets with long sleeves that keep them from hurting themselves or others...

Anywho,  sorry for the confusion and if you want to submit an edit on the current entry in the db with a description of the variant as "variant tie-in" on the main entry we can do that for now, as subs with no UPC will just cause confusion and two subs can't have the same UPC.

Now excuse me while I find someone who can undo this nice jacket...

How would I do that when Horizon Chase Turbo - normal version [Switch] doesn't have a RFG ID #?

I think the normal version would have to be a variation tie-in noted on the current SE entry.

I don't think there is a separate "Canada" version of Assassin's Creed III Remastered PS4.  All the copies on eBay are dual language so I would say there is just a single North American release.

Canada Entry: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-215-S-10191-A

1. Go to http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-231-S-03430-A

3. Type in a value in the text box for "Variation Tie-In"

Lol You aren't slow, it is a bit confusing and my wording likely isn't helping.  The process you just outlined sounds correct, variation tie-in may be the best place to note there are variants with the same UPC.   I'll try and see what it looks like on my end. :)

Pretty sure that the region should be Japan and not China.  My cart with the same UPC reads LA-H-A437A-JPN. Assuming that the UPC would be different if released in different regions.

This really needs to be unlinked from the other variations:
http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=U-215-S-07770-B

and linked to these: http://www.rfgeneration.com/cgi-bin/getinfo.pl?ID=E-215-S-09980-A

Done. Due to the unreliability of de-linking variants, I had to create a new entry for the North American release and then linked it to the UK version.
