= Specialty Controllers =
 * Cyberbike, there are multiple versions:
 * The original Wii version connects to a GameCube port: https://webimg.secondhandapp.at/w-i-mgl/5cefc18ea9de0469ff7ef759 It has a GC<>CB switch.
 * BigBen later released a dedicated GameCube-to-Bluetooth adapter to make wired Cyberbikes compatible with Wii Family Edition consoles that don't have GameCube ports. The USB cable is only used for power. The adapter does not have an FCC mark, so it was likely not sold in the US. It has a CB<>MK switch. On the CB setting it shows up on Bluetooth as a Nintendo RVL-CNT-01. Haven't yet figured out how the MK setting works.
 * There is a wired Magnetic Edition. The box advertises Mario Kart compatibility.
 * A later wireless version connects via Bluetooth without a separate adapter: https://fccid.io/AVJ-4269/User-Manual/USER-MANUAL-1968744 Not sure this was actually ever sold anywhere.
 * There's also a SmartTV Edition compatible with Samsung TVs.
 * Shinkansen controller is a Wii Remote extension: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811ybrxfy3L._SL1500_.jpg
 * Dragon Quest Monster Battle Road Victory Controller, another Wii Remote extension, interesting info: https://twitter.com/DauntingMtn/status/1361794249851875331

= Games with ELF linking against Debug SDK =

= AX microcode versions = Dates are based on build timestamps. Note that games often have mixed build dates, likely because SDK patches didn't always update all libraries.

GameCube:
 * 0x4e8a8b21: mostly used before 2002 (early AX versions don't have timestamps, DSPInit timestamps are apparently unrelated), does not have the compressor or low-pass filter yet, uses less granular mixer control
 * 0x07f88145: September 2002 - March 2003, adds compressor, introduces AUXB surround depop bug, adds skipped filter code that references new AXPB data, this changes offsetof(AXPB, loop_counter)
 * 0xe2136399: April 2003 - December 2003, replaces skipped filter with usable low-pass filter, this changes offsetof(AXPB, loop_counter) again
 * 0x3ad3b7ac: apparently specific to MusyX, never used with AX, the only difference to 0xe2136399 is an additional increment of the loop_counter in one of the interrupt handlers
 * 0x3daf59b9: April 2004, changes the linear resampling code
 * 0x3389a79e: August 2007, only used by the Trilogy versions of Metroid Prime 1 and 2, they are GameCube games ported to Wii but still use GameCube style audio, hence listed here, removes the unused command 8 (looks like a filter)

Wii:
 * 0x2ea36ce6, 0x5ef56da3: supposedly used by some SDK demos
 * 0x7699af32: August 2006, only used by the Wii Startup Menu, adds high-pass filter
 * 0xfa450138: October 1 2006, used by launch titles
 * 0xd9c4bf34: October 5 2006, only used by Wii System Menu 1.0, this version merges two DSP commands that are always used together and renumbers everything afterwards, fixes the AUXB surround depop bug (which for the Wii had been copy-pasted to AUXC as well)
 * 0xadbc06bd: October 26 2006, only used by Elebits and the Japanese version of Pokémon Battle Revolution, this version adds a volume parameter to the output commands
 * 0x347112ba: December 2006 - March 2008, replaces high-pass filter by biquad filter, adds Wiimote audio filtering
 * 0x4cc52064: July 2008 and later, minimal changes to the compressor code (bug fix?)

= Games with Video but no Rating = [ link]

 * 1) !/usr/bin/env python3

import re import requests import sys

API_KEY = 'PUT YOUR API KEY HERE'

for path in sys.argv[1:]: text = open(path).read ids = re.findall(r'(?<=vid.=)[^|]{11}(?=\|)', text) print(f'found {len(ids)} YouTube videos') for i in range(0, len(ids), 50): chunk = ids[i:i+50] response = requests.get(			'https://youtube.googleapis.com/youtube/v3/videos',			params={'part': 'id', 'key': API_KEY, 'id': ','.join(chunk)},			headers={'Accept': 'application/json'},		) valid_ids = [item['id'] for item in response.json['items']] for id in chunk: if id not in valid_ids: print(id)

= Not released =

No indication that these games were ever sold. We have compatibility ratings for some of them but I think those are bogus.

= Invalid Game IDs = Virtual Console game IDs on this Wiki for which Nintendo's update server returns 404:
 * FCYK01 - Yoshi's Cookie (NES/FC), released in other regions
 * KO release indicated on GameFaq
 * FD6J01 - Adventures of Lolo 2 (NES/FC), released in other regions
 * JP release indicated on GameFAQ
 * FFPE01 - Ufouria: The Saga (NES/FC), released in Japan
 * NA release indicated on GameFAQ
 * FFUE01 - Adventure Island II (NES/FC), released in Japan
 * NA release indicated on GameFAQ
 * JEAP01 - Natsume Championship Wrestling (SNES/SFC), released in NA
 * EU release indicated on GameFAQ
 * MBXP8P - Ecco Jr. (Genesis/SMD), released in other regions
 * EU release indicated on GameFAQ]
 * MCHP8P - M.U.S.H.A. (Genesis/SMD), released in other regions
 * EU release indicated on GameFAQ

Not sure how we even got these IDs:
 * HCBP01 - Mario Kart Channel
 * Came from me. Likely from a WiiBrew doc that listed Channel IDs, but I can't find it again now. Kolano (talk) 13:19, 6 September 2020 (CEST)
 * Found this, which seems to indicate this should be RMCE01/RMCP01.
 * UFN100 - Wii Fit Channel
 * From Faefdsedf, they seemed to have a good track record on contributions. If it's at all correct though it's probably more likely to be UFN101, since it's the only "00" Publisher code.
