== Category:Google (Publisher) deleted ==
== Triforce rating ==
Why did you delete this category? [[User:Flacs|Flacs]] ([[User talk:Flacs|talk]]) 21:50, 7 June 2020 (CEST)
I see that you think that Triforce games should be rated 1 star because they are broken on master. While that is technically true, the same can be said about any other game not for Wii/GC. But just like any other console which is not Wii/GC, the master branch of Dolphin doesn't emulate the Triforce and because the wiki is inline with master I think they shouldn't be rated at all.[[User:Miksel12|Miksel12]] ([[User talk:Miksel12|talk]]) 13:51, 30 Dec 2020 (CEST)


Because it was empty and I was unaware of any product published by Google. Though looking at the [[YouTube Channel]] we fail to capture a dev / publisher there, where it may be appropriate. Even so, that may only populate the Google (Developer) category. It's weird cause we so inconsistently capture the dev / publisher info for channels, I believe likely due to it being difficult to determine for most of them, since info on the channels isn't tracked similarly to games on external sites.

: This has already been discussed in the past, and is partially why the ratings for all those pages are locked. We understand it's been a long time since any progress has been made on Triforce emulation. The Triforce pages should probably be purged from the wiki, but folks have wanted to preserve them since Dolphin provides the only current path to emulate these titles, even if no longer supported on master.

== Dualcore reporting ==
::I don't think the pages should be purged, like you said, Dolphin is the only way to emulate them. But by rating them against master, one would assume Triforce is emulated on master and it gives a wrong impression of which games are actually 'broken' (which are 5 games) and which games are from a machine not emulated (which are 15 games). So I would give the Triforce games 0 stars and keep the pages with a link to the Triforce branch.[[User:Miksel12|Miksel12]] ([[User talk:Miksel12|talk]]) 14:15, 31 Dec 2020 (CEST)
Small question, as of current whenever i find a dualcore issue i write it here and create a bug tracker issue for them. Considering that they are just duplicate issues of the whole dualcore problem, should i just mention them in my edits on the wiki, and not create issues on the bug tracker for them, or do both.
 
: It's generally best to do both. Though for dual-core there is an issue on the bug tracker that all of them eventually get rolled into that can be referenced instead, {{Issue|7143}}. If a title is not already listed there you can probably just mention it in that issues comments rather than opening an extra issue.

== M&Ms ==
Try searching on european and australian ebay and you'll find nothing. Here's also an archive of QVS's site that doesn't list the game for release in its supposed release month. I wouldn't blindly trust wikipedia and gamefaqs. https://web.archive.org/web/20071017085043/http://qvsoftware.com.au/products/release_schedule.asp --[[User:PPLToast|PPLToast]] ([[User talk:PPLToast|talk]]) 17:08, 11 July 2020 (CEST)
 
:Yeah, it's mainly that we have a GameID for it, RMWP20, that seemingly indicates it's was released somewhere in EU (unless someone just made it up based on the GameID patterns). GameTDB also seems to have fairly complete details indicating it came out in Britain, Spain and the Netherlands; though with a significantly later release date than elsewhere, 2008-6-6. There seem to be many places listing it online...

::The 4:3 info comes from vWii's [https://wiki.mariocube.com/index.php/43DB 43DB] which only lists the first 3 letters. It also includes titles like "ROO" which was a port of Odama for Wii that never came out. That github list says it takes info from Dolphin which I presume refers to the region. Thus it can't be used as a source. The Dutch site says the game is out of stock (voorraad) so that's a no go too.
 
::Finally there's Zoo Digital's own site. Their release schedule has the game in this [https://web.archive.org/web/20080208135421/http://www.zoodigitalpublishing.com:80/page.php?id=8 February 2008 capture] and by October it's nowhere to be seen. Certainly possible it released in between as we lack captures for those months. That said, their list of [https://web.archive.org/web/20080912213840/http://www.zoodigitalpublishing.com:80/platform.php?platform=12 Wii products] doesn't list it either and it's from ''September''. I'd wager Zoo saw how poorly the game did in the US and decided to can the release at the last minute. That said, if Zoo did release the game, surely the publisher ID would've changed for Europe? To my knowledge DSI Games did no publishing in Europe and instead left all that to Zoo who they seemed to work with anyway [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Destination_Software_Inc. before being acquired and rebranded] by GreenScreen Interactive Software. --[[User:PPLToast|PPLToast]] ([[User talk:PPLToast|talk]]) 00:37, 13 July 2020 (CEST)
 
::: OK, I relent. There is a bit too much false info about this title online then though. [[User:Kolano|Kolano]] ([[User talk:Kolano|talk]]) 01:26, 13 July 2020 (CEST)
