Demo GameIDs

It would be good if you can also check the GameID inventory you have for:

• other regional variants of those demos
• other demo GameIDs missing from the wiki (i.e. X prefixed IDs) The DLP below provides the current ones, though I had to exclude the J region to filter out the MSX titles.

Sure. The problem still is that the title metadata doesn't include the name of the game, just raw IDs pretty much (this ID is legitimate! for what game? I don't know...). It's really only good for ID expansion. I mean I can just assume it's the same with the same characters 1-3 and that will... always be correct with the digital releases. So I'll just do that. I need to make a script to rename them all from 00010001hexhexhexhex.tmd to the actual ID first though and that'll take me awhile since I'm pathetic at programming, otherwise I have to search with a converter.

If there actually are files including the game titles and IDs to scrape we should do that too before it's all gone. - Xerxes (talk) 20:30, 23 April 2019 (CEST)

Should these demos be their own pages? I guess now would be the time to do it. I know that's a massive clusterfuck though and we can do it later with DPL. - Xerxes (talk) 00:52, 24 April 2019 (CEST)
