I think probably the best category for the Sunsoft Dev Disk Lot is Preproduction. I've added everything else in for the next release. Thanks!

I've noticed some things were fixed in the latest version of Retool (Atari Colors Proto, N64 Action Replay, ...) but some things are still wrong (SNES Super 8, Atari 2600 Kid Vid Module, Supervision TV Link, ...). Did you forget about them or is it still a WIP for the next release?

[unexpectedpanda]

They weren't forgotten :) The entries are there, and the categories are properly assigned in the output dat. Here are the relevant lines in the clone lists: SNES, 2600, SuperVision.

There's likely one of two things going on here (although if you're trying to achieve something else, let me know):

• You're trying to remove BIOS titles from your output dat. It looks like titles that are reassigned to BIOS are being ignored in the remove stage. This is a bug that needs to be fixed.
• Your clone lists are out of date. Clone lists update separately from Retool versions. To update your clone lists, in Retool GUI click File > Check for clone list updates. On the command line, it's updateclonelists.py.

I'll reopen this until the bug is addressed.

Thanks for your hard work! My clone lists are up to date, and I am trying to remove BIOS titles from my output dats. Looking forward to your next release, and apologies for polluting your Issues section with duplicates :P

[unexpectedpanda]

Issues are good! They help me to refine both the code and the target audience, and highlight where I need to make things easier to understand :)

The remove BIOS bug should be fixed in 1.01.
