We have a bit of an issue with this... GNHE5d (yes lower case d) belongs to [[NHL Hitz 20-02]]! The lowercase d is a violation of the gameid standards, but NHL Hitz 20-02 does in fact use the lowercase d, at least as far as Dolphin is concerned. [https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/484730/GNHE5lowercased.jpg Here is proof curtesy of JMC47.] JMC says that by 2003 it was corrected, so it is only this game that uses it, to my knowledge. Anyway, right now, you if right click NHL Hitz 20-02 in Dolphin and hit wiki, it directs users to Maxplay Games! I don't know if the lowercase mess up contributed, but Datel stole this gameid for their products. GNHE5d is wrong but it is an official gameid and for an officially launched game. In my opinion this gameid should be made exclusive for NHL Hitz 20-02, or turned into a disambiguation page. What do you guys think? - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 04:12, 12 February 2016 (CET) | We have a bit of an issue with this...

:AFAIK Datel developed some kind of bootstrap based on the app loader of NHL Hitz 20-02 so they could "trick" the GC/Wii to boot the game as a licensed game (which clearly is not the case). That technique is similar to what most (if not all) Nintendo DS flashcards did to trick the Nintendo DS/DSi/3DS too. However I think we have an advantage, Datel uses GNHE5d (notice the lowercase "d"), the official [[NHL Hitz 20-02]] and all oficially licensed games uses all uppercase IDs. In other words, we could make a redirect in GNHE5D (all uppercase) to [[NHL Hitz 20-02]] and turn this page a disambig for Datel products (I can confirm Action Replay also shares this ID). I didn't test this but AFAIK Dolphin context-menu option will just get the ID and throw whatever ID the disc claims at dolp.in/id in order to redirect the user to the proper wiki page, we may be able to handle both [[NHL Hitz 20-02]] and Datel products this way (thanks to the lowercase d at the end used by Datel). - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 04:27, 12 February 2016 (CET) | :AFAIK Datel developed some kind of bootstrap based on the app loader of NHL Hitz 20-02 so they could "trick" the GC/Wii to boot the game as a licensed game (which clearly is not the case).

Just saw the edit. In that case a disambig page is the way to go =/ - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) 04:27, 12 February 2016 (CET) |
