Added a bunch of dates from MobyGames in https://github.com/niemasd/GameDB-GC/commit/2007667ac74673205cba88283ff36446be08f8b9 (need to keep going with MobyGames)
for serial in $(echo $(ls && ls */release_date.txt) | tr ' ' '\n' | cut -d'/' -f1 | sort | uniq -c | rev | cut -d' ' -f1-2 | rev | grep -v "^2 " | cut -d' ' -f2) ; do echo -n "$serial " && cat $serial/title.txt && ~/GameDB/helper/search_mobygames.py -k API_KEY -t "$(cat $serial/title.txt)" -p GC | cut -f2 | grep -v "^Release Date" | head -1 > $serial/release_date.txt && sleep 1.5 ; done
I finished adding all of the missing dates from Mobygames in this commit: https://github.com/niemasd/GameDB-GC/commit/b25b09c6487040ceb35e9143c599fe09e65e1197
However, lots of games failed to find release dates using my Mobygames script, so they have 0-byte release_date.txt
files. The list of such games can be found as follows (from the games
folder):
ll */release_date.txt | grep " 0 " | rev | cut -d' ' -f1 | rev
To print the contents of the first result:
serial=$(ll */release_date.txt | grep " 0 " | rev | cut -d' ' -f1 | rev | cut -d'/' -f1 | head -1) && echo $serial &&
cat $serial/*
I couldn't find a structured website that has GameCube games + release dates. I manually added the release dates of the Super Smash Bros. Melee releases just to have at least 1 date so that the release dates visualization script can run, but I need to find a good way to bulk-add them
