=== Global Replacement Request === | |||
A spot to capture global replacement requests: | |||
* Update testing/entry template to always include "tester=" field. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 01:36, 29 May 2015 (CEST) | |||
=== MD5 / GameID capture === | |||
We should probably capture/list the GameIDs and valid MD5s for games to aid in avoiding issues related to bad dumps, and providing accurate regional/version release information. There are a few things we'd need to work out for such though: | |||
*A source of info, Redump.org lists valid MD5's for GC discs and GameTDB provided them for GC discs and a subset of Wii discs (though it's unclear of the source of the Wii ones or if they can be confirmed as valid). | |||
*How to capture the data: We'll likely need some new templates / data structures to do so. | |||
Adding this section for future discussion so we can hopefully eventually move forward with such. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 07:58, 29 September 2014 (CEST) | |||

I'm in with that. I suggest implementing this in a similar way to the Ratings, that way we can reuse the MD5 hashes across wiki templates. Something like Template:MD5/Sample_Game with the hash in plain text may do the trick. Not sure where we could get MD5 for Wii games, GameTDB has a small number of hashes for Wii games - [[User:Jhonn|Jhonn]] ([[User talk:Jhonn|talk]]) | |||
: Yeah, that came up in the discussion on IRC last night. We can get a near complete set of them for GC titles from Redump.org if needed though GameTDB likely has the same set for those, but those for Wii titles seem to be less available (and possibly unconfirmed where they do exist).

I'm a little worried about this, to be honest. We have no way to confirm MD5s, so essentially we'll be relying on our sources, which are incomplete and may be wrong themselves. I'm not against the idea, just, I wish there was a way to be sure. A Wii homebrew program or something to calculate MD5s to build from on our own perhaps? I don't know. Any time we put up information that can't be verified, it makes me nervous. It could be wrong and we'd neeeever know it. - [[User:MaJoR|MaJoR]] ([[User talk:MaJoR|talk]]) 08:05, 2 October 2014 (CEST) | |||
:If this gets implemented, which I'm for, could we record if it's a SL or DL disc as well? [[User:Zephyrsurfer|Zephyrsurfer]] ([[User talk:Zephyrsurfer|talk]]) 10:18, 12 November 2014 (CET) | |||
OK, so I found today that although there is no dat file publicly available indexing Wii discs at this time, Redump.org does have one. Apparently the situation is that it's only being distributed to registered dumpers. I was able to find copies of it from early in 2014 via [http://www.mediafire.com/?fr2odoefwm613 this set of archives]. In any case that's probably as close as we'll come to known "valid" ids, and we probably should try to find a more up to date copy.

Should the infobox template have a section for known good MD5 checksums for each game? Dolphin has an MD5 evaluator function built-in the properties window of the game you right-click on. Let's say for [[Super Mario Sunshine]], the template lists each unique checksum for each region; one for NTSC-J, NTSC-U, and PAL when you dump them with [http://www.wiibrew.org/wiki/CleanRip CleanRip]. CleanRip has gc.dat and wii.dat files that is really an XML. The Wiki redirects to the game page through game IDs so a custom script bot could easily automatically fill in the thousands of MD5 checksums using the XML attributes found in the gc.dat and wii.dat files. This would be good to ward off bug reports that rely on bad dumps of games with bug reports that rely on good dumps of games. --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 08:52, 1 May 2015 (CEST) | |||
: So it seams we may have a source for MD5s. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 17:32, 1 May 2015 (CEST) | |||
::Oh! Didn't see this discussion. I even searched for MD5 before posting my idea! --[[User:Wildgoosespeeder|Wildgoosespeeder]] ([[User talk:Wildgoosespeeder|talk]]) 23:34, 1 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]]. 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) | |||
=== Error with Slash in Search === | |||
Using a forward slash in a search term (i.e. "NA/EU") results in a long set of Wiki errors... | |||
