PS2 Educational Games not appearing on output list

[pirsir76]

Describe the bug A clear and concise description of what the bug is.

Sorry, the title is wrong, it should be simply: "PS2 games not appearing on list" Specifically these games:

• Konami Kids Playground - Alphabet Circus (USA)
• Konami Kids Playground - Dinosaurs - Shapes & Colors (USA)
• Konami Kids Playground - Frogger - Hop, Skip & Jumpin' Fun (USA)
• Konami Kids Playground - Toy Pals Fun with Numbers (USA) It appears like Retool is trying to mislabel the type of these games. They are not considered as "Educational" on Redump, they are just considered as regular "games".

To reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior.

Use Redump PS2 .dat file. Region: USA Exclusions: Everything except games

Expected behavior A clear and concise description of what you expected to happen.

Retool should produce a list without excluding the following games:

• Konami Kids Playground - Alphabet Circus (USA)
• Konami Kids Playground - Dinosaurs - Shapes & Colors (USA)
• Konami Kids Playground - Frogger - Hop, Skip & Jumpin' Fun (USA)
• Konami Kids Playground - Toy Pals Fun with Numbers (USA)

• [ ] Ubuntu
• [ ] Other (please specify)

Retool manages its own categories that don't always match Redump's definition. I'm comfortable with these being classed as educational.

There is a further issue here:

Using Redump PS2 .dat file. Region: USA Exclusions: Everything except Educational shows 0 results. But, there should be 4 results (at least) Retool is outputting: • No titles in the input DAT match your preferences. No DAT file has been created.

They will only appear if you do a search for educational in conjunction with something else. Which is not how Retool is supposed to work as far as I understand.

There's no issue at all, and it's working exactly as intended. Multiple categories are assigned to those titles through the clone list, so you've excluded the educational titles by also excluding games and demos,

{
    "group": "Konami Kids Playground (Demo)",
    "categories": ["Demo", "Educational", "Games"],
    "titles": [
        {"searchTerm": "Konami Kids Playground (Demo)"}
    ]
},
{
    "group": "Konami Kids Playground - Alphabet Circus",
    "categories": ["Educational", "Games"],
    "titles": [
        {"searchTerm": "Konami Kids Playground - Alphabet Circus"}
    ]
},
{
    "group": "Konami Kids Playground - Dinosaurs - Shapes & Colors",
    "categories": ["Educational", "Games"],
    "titles": [
        {"searchTerm": "Konami Kids Playground - Dinosaurs - Shapes & Colors"}
    ]
},
{
    "group": "Konami Kids Playground - Frogger - Hop, Skip & Jumpin' Fun",
    "categories": ["Educational", "Games"],
    "titles": [
        {"searchTerm": "Konami Kids Playground - Frogger - Hop, Skip & Jumpin' Fun"}
    ]
},
{
    "group": "Konami Kids Playground - Toy Pals Fun with Numbers",
    "categories": ["Educational", "Games"],
    "titles": [
        {"searchTerm": "Konami Kids Playground - Toy Pals Fun with Numbers"}
    ]
},

I see. Is there a way I can filter games by just one category? Like, if I want to see all the games that have "Demo" in their category (regardless of what other categories the game has been placed in) is there a way to do that?

Not with Retool there isn't.
