Contribution of Game Titles #264

Open Amnesia1000 opened 3 years ago

Here are all the Neo Geo Pocket and Neo Geo Pocket Color game titles. The name of the file is given by the game ID. Some IDs are repeated (2 if I remember correctly) so there are two alternatives for you to analyze it (NGP1234 and NGP1234 (2)).

I just checked that to name the files you use the internal name (GB) and also the game ID (GBC). I think it would be better to use the internal name for NGP because of the two repeated IDs

Edit: I share two NGP folders, one where the files are named by the Title of the game and another where they are named by ID. I also attach missing SNES, GBA, GB, GBC and SGB. In the CGB and GBA folder are ordered only the thumbnails of "NoID", I did not understand well how are ordered the other captures so I leave them loose. CGB-DMG-SGB.zip CGB-DMG-SGB-2.zip NGP (ID-Titles).zip GBA.zip SNES.zip

The CGB images that aren't "NoID" are sorted based on the fourth character of the ID (the region byte). I'll go through these at some point.

For DMG and CGB, the title is used if a valid game ID isn't present. Game IDs were only added to CGB headers around 1999, so all DMG-only and some early CGB titles don't have them.

For NGPC, I'll add special cases for the duplicate game IDs, and use game IDs for everything else.

Looking at the NGP(C) screenshots: A good number of them were taken at the wrong resolution. The correct resolution is 160x152; several of them are 254x240, and some (mostly NGP ROMs) are 2268x2160.

I'll try retaking the screenshots myself, since there aren't too many NGP(C) ROM images.

Ok, thanks for taking the NGP screens yourself. I didn't get an emulator for it, so I took them with retroarch and it seems that I took them in the maximum resolution. Actually I am finishing the last SNES screens.

I also have WonderSwan screen, but as it is not implemented in rom-properties are named by the name of the rom.

Some missed GBA screens GBA-2.zip

Most of the retail NGPC titles are handled now. Still need to sort out the homebrew titles.

For the GBA titles: A good number of those are from Multi-Boot demos (i.e. downloaded from a GameCube). I'm not sure if .mb format is properly detected right now, so I'll take another look at that.

For DMG, there's a few subdirectories for different types of screenshots:

DMG-SGB isn't included because it's identical to DMG but with a default Super Game Boy border.

I use mGBA to take these screenshots. mGBA has options for selecting the Game Boy model to emulate for different types of ROM images.
