Since it seems all VC titles on a platform tend to use the same publisher code (i.e. it's associated with the platform not the title) this is likely easier to address than it first seemed. In any case, we need to go through each of these and ensure a 6char GameID is established for each. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 11:23, 9 January 2016 (CET)

:Technically, none of those are wrong! Anything from the wii shop doesn't include a publisher code, technically. But there *is* a separate publisher code, and Dolphin combines them. But the publisher code is based on the platform, not the actual publisher... There has been a lot of debate as to which method is correct. Come into the channel and talk it over with the devs! - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 23:50, 19 January 2016 (CET)

::I wasn't claiming them to be wrong, just pointless when it comes to Dolphin since Dolphin doesn't identify them by those IDs. Really I just want consistency one way or the other. So we either need to purge those out, or ensure a 4char ID is established across WiiWare/VC titles. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 00:24, 20 January 2016 (CET)

:::As I recall the 6 character ones are from Dolphin, and 4 character ones are from the GameTDB import? Since it what is arguably the correct method. Seriously, the way Dolphin does it is weird, according to the devs. But no one really cares. :P - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 12:53, 20 January 2016 (CET)
