Dear Admins Please avoid mess with the ID's.. like duplicating and so on e. g. 4307 - Snoopy no Aiken DS - Shitte Okitai Inu no Koto Inu no Nouryo (J)(BAHAMUT) 4307 - Emergency Room Real Life Rescues (U)(SUXXORS) IDs should be unique to identify the rom .. im coding some tools and databases and i rely on this data. Would be nice if you can fix that. Thank you
Hi, we offer absolutely no guarantee or promises that our data is accurate or unique, nor to we comply with demands so coding tools that rely on our dataset probably isn't the best idea because the personal opinion of the admins is that release ids for ROMs is beyond stupid. That said, we will eventually fix this when we get the time, so thanks for reporting it.
Hi Seph Thanks for the fast and clear answer. I thought there is a "global release id" or something like this. But now i know that i have to manage this data by myself. Have a nice day and greetz from Switzerland
No there isn't, if you were to cross check with the data on say ds-scene you'd see they're entirely off ours. Release numbers were introduced by sites listing the new releases, it was never part of anything to do with the actual release, most of the pirates who actually release the games themselves think the numbering is stupid. And I'm inclined to agree because it doesn't add anything useful at all, it just makes people lazy and say "Something wrong with 3213" when 3213 can be two or three different games.
I presume this is also why the numbering on the site is often different from the premium downloader? I also notice there are games listed on the site that are not available via the downloader and vice versa.
no, the premium downloader has everything the site has and nothing more. I believe the premium downloader works on RSS so there could be a slight delay before it updates
