Dat

No-Intro Game Boy Advance

Issue

Yu-Gi-Oh! Double Pack (USA) is a compilation of Yu-Gi-Oh! - Reshef of Destruction (USA) & Yu-Gi-Oh! - The Sacred Cards (USA)

Yu-Gi-Oh! Double Pack 2 (USA) (En,Fr,De,Es,It) is a compilation of Yu-Gi-Oh! - Destiny Board Traveler (USA) & Yu-Gi-Oh! - Dungeon Dice Monsters (USA) (En,Es)

But are not filtered out.

Also for Game Boy Advance, it keeps Strawberry Shortcake - Summertime Adventure (USA) & Strawberry Shortcake - Summertime Adventure - Special Edition (USA)

Even though the only difference between them as far as I know is the special edition includes a TV episode.

For 3DS, it wants to filter out "Fire Emblem Fates - Special Edition (USA)" which is the one fates you WANT to keep. It is a compilation of Fire Emblem Fates - Birthright Fire Emblem Fates - Conquest Fire Emblem Fates - Revelation

And Fire Emblem Fates - Revelation is a eShop exclusive with no actual cartridge release outside of this compilation cartridge.

Edit: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Master Splinter's Training Pack (USA) (En,Fr) is a compilation cartridge of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - Danger of the Ooze (USA) & Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (USA) (En,Fr)

And with Wii CDN content, it prioritizes the base version of a game and wants to remove the updated versions of them.

For 3DS, it wants to filter out "Fire Emblem Fates - Special Edition (USA)" which is the one fates you WANT to keep.

The default is to prefer single releases over compilations, unless the compilations are verified to contain newer versions of the games.

Eventually there'll be a feature that lets people choose how to handle compilations.

Wii CDN content

I've barely spent any time on CDN DAT files, as they're huge and don't always have useful naming structures.

The rest I'll look into when time presents.

For the Fire Emblem Fates - Special Edition, it isn't that it has a newer version, its that it has a game that is ONLY released on that cartridge out of the entire dat file.

Where you either get it from that cartridge or you have to have the eShop set to get access to it.

Ah, thanks for the clarification. This has been fixed. Due to the way compilations work, you'll get the individual titles for Birthright and Conquest, whereas Revelation is represented by the compilation.

The other 3DS and GBA misses have also been corrected, thanks. Update your clone lists for the changes to take effect.

Can you provide some example title names so I know where to look?

[TomTurbine]

For the Wii CDN sets.

Cave Story (USA) (v258) (WiiWare) Cave Story (USA) (WiiWare)

Even though the v258 version is an update, it would remove that and keep the original that wasn't updated. For the Wii CDN wads, the one with the numbers at the end should be the one you want to keep.

Decided to move away from the 1g1r setup for now and just have a setup of the games I know I will play with the full sets off to the side but glad to help. Tried it and noticed that even with 1g1r almost all of it for most systems seems to be shovelware.

[unexpectedpanda]

Thanks, appreciate it.

Fully curated is definitely superior to 1G1R if you know which titles are good and what you want :)

Ah right, this is the (WAD) set, not the (CDN) set.

I don't see what you're seeing, Retool selects v258 for me. You might have set different options that are getting in the way?

All I had done was set the defaults for the regions and the languages and told it to exclude preproduction stuff.

It had excluded the v258 wad but kept the other one.

Edit: Correction, I also removed all the regions except the USA, Canada, and Europe.

I've downloaded the latest files from Dat-O-Matic.

I can't replicate this on Retool v2.02.2 using Unofficial - Nintendo - Wii (Digital) (Deprecated) (WAD) (20231216-065527).dat. Cave Story (USA) (v258) (WiiWare) is correctly chosen as the 1G1R title.

There's another DAT file, Nintendo - Wii (Digital) (CDN) (20231116-082057).dat, however only Cave Story (USA) (WiiWare) is present in the original DAT file, v258 isn't. Naturally Retool selects the base title, as v258 doesn't exist.

We've only got few options left here. You could try uploading your config/user-config.yaml and the input DAT file you used, and I can use them and see if something strange tips up.

Failing that, wiping out the Retool folder and starting again is the only hail Mary I have 🤷

[TomTurbine]

It's fine. If it works for you, that's fine by me, as I said, I decided to just keep the sets and pull what I want.
