:::Further digging into ripping Wii discs, I found out that some games are not in the XML, like [[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]] and [[The Sims 3]]. I could not find their generated MD5 values in the XML or their titles. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 04:45, 10 May 2015 (CEST) | :::Further digging into ripping Wii discs, I found out that some games are not in the XML, like [[Sonic & Sega All-Stars Racing]] and [[The Sims 3]].

=== Proposed expansion for Wii GameIDs === | |||
The ID6 format used by GameCube GameIDs fails to properly represent all of the information that a full Wii TMD contains. As an example, the ID [[SVTEXS]] is assumed to represent all the game identifiable information for [[BIT.TRIP Complete]] that can be guaranteed to exist. However, an actually complete ID would be 00010000535654455853r00. This presents the full 18 hex digit Title ID, as well as the title version information from the TMD file. The "r" separator between the full ID and the title version is already in use by one of the GameINIs that ship with Dolphin, which is why I'm suggesting it be used. [https://github.com/dolphin-emu/dolphin/blob/master/Data/Sys/GameSettings/0000000100000002r1.ini Default GameINI for 0000000100000002r1], known as the [[Wii Startup Menu]] on the wiki. Properly representing IDs in this format will allow us to almost guarantee that we send users to the correct page for the Title they're trying to get information on. Including the Title Version allows for proper distinction when multiple revisions of a Title need their own pages, IE: [[Wii Menu]] and [[Wii Startup Menu]]. Using hexadecimal digits instead of trying to represent them as ASCII GameIDs allows for displaying the Title IDs for the WADs found within the [[Wii Backup Disc]] properly. Instead of trying to figure out to make a page titled [[kVß.02]] we could just make one named 000100006b56df1e0002r00. - [[User:PowerKitten|PowerKitten]] ([[User talk:PowerKitten|talk]]) 19:09, 9 October 2017 (CEST) | |||
