Title: More Missing Consoles
Post by: yui714 on March 07, 2011, 07:12:38 pm
No Super Famicom (Super Nintendo Entertainment System JP) in list, Perhaps adding a feature that allows users to add consoles like we can add games would prevent frequent console suggestions?
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: matt on March 07, 2011, 07:19:44 pm
Adding. The plan is to have every platform listed an available for submissions and edits real soon here. For now I'm just adding them as they are requested or when I do bulk uploads.

Thanks!

Can we get the Neo Geo MVS Platform added? and the other Arcade platforms, CPS1, SPC2 CPS3, Sega Naomi, Hyper Neo 64, Jamma etc? All of them will need multiple regions. Also the Sega Mega Drive (Genesis equivilant for us PAL users)
I am liking the look of this site :D
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles

PC Engine Super CD-Rom
PC Engine Arcade CD-Rom

I fund the Megadrive but sould do with renameing to be Sega like the other systems are.

I'm slacking on these and will try to get them added today when I update the database. As for Mega Drive I'm pretty sure the official name is just Mega Drive with no Sega. Regardless once I update the database it will be grouped together with the Genesis.

In my opinion the PC Engine CD category in place should include Super and Arcade CD since it is technically the same unit.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: matt on March 10, 2011, 09:37:53 am
I'm definitely no expert on PC Engine so I'll let you guys decide this one. If you were looking to acquire a complete collection of these, how would you want them listed?
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: pceslayer on March 10, 2011, 09:51:08 am
They are all just CD's that play on the same platform, the difference being the Arcade and Super CD games require a HU card that contains more ram. They don't come in different variants, for instance there is no Arcade CD that has an alternate Super CD version. Same applies for Super CD and regular CD release games.

Once you get past the PC Engine and go into the Turbo/PCEngine DUO you only need an Arcade card because the extra ram found in the Super CD HU card is built into the system.

*EDIT*
On this same note... Should the 32x CD games have their own category? I would say yes for those... double standards?? lol :/
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: warpedflash on March 10, 2011, 10:41:53 am
The original reason I suggested all 3 CD groups was the same as the reason for giving CD 32x games their own.... They wont work on just the CD hardware... Either way would be fine though I guess. Just for adding games into the database its more of a pain to go back and change th egroups later than it is to add them specifically.

The mega drive I have always known as the "Sega Mega Drive" (see the logo here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mega_Drive) am I'm from the UK but if there is a different offical name then no idea....

If we split off the PC Engine CD we'd have to do the Same for the TurboGrafx-CD and since there are no variants of the CD games the title alone would reference if its CDRom2, Super CD or Arcade CD. I do understand what you mean. Its just in the 32x's case there are 2 different types of media for the same platform, CD and Cart, where the PC Engine CD and TurboGrafx-CD are already separated off from the HU Cards.

If you use an Arcade Pro card, you can play every CD game regardless of type in the PC Engine library (except the Game Express) .
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles

Post by: pceslayer on March 10, 2011, 12:23:26 pm
Do you frequent the pcenginefx forums?
I'm nowhere near as a hardcore collector as most and if more people think it should be split, so be it. Its easier imho to compare 1 list vs multiple lists.

*EDIT*
I do have another missing console to add:

PC Engine SuperGrafx [JP]

Some Atari stuff missing. XE series such as the 65, 130 and XEGS, ST series, XL series, 400, 800. I'll need to check my tables to see which ones were cross platform compatible though. I believe the 400/800/XE were as such.

Tiger Electronics.

How are one off standalone units eg PONG identified?

If you can provide me a list of the missing Atari stuff I'll get it added ASAP. I'll be doing an update tonight and filling in some of the missing platforms.

As for one-off units, I almost feel like they should be listed under Hardware. Thoughts?

Post by: tpugmire on March 17, 2011, 09:49:39 am
The only problem I see with the Atari computer lines, is the format.  Games were available on cartridges, big floppy disks, and cassette tapes.  This could wind up being a huge undertaking.  Don't get me wrong, I want them added, as I collect them too, but we are going to need a plan beyond creating a category.  And yeah, dedicated consoles (anything that doesn't have removable games) should be in hardware.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: scott on March 17, 2011, 10:00:25 am
But would I would say that the Tiger Electronics LCD handhelds should be their own category. Like Nintendo's Game & Watch stuff.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: tpugmire on March 17, 2011, 10:28:51 am
Yeah, handhelds would be a different thing altogether.  Maybe have a "Dedicated Handheld Systems" category

I second this since I have just got my hands my first Neo Geo MVS which I am going to consolize. :)

So please add Neo Geo MVS under arcade.

@warpedflash

I see that you have added some 1, 2 , 4 and 6 slot MVS's to the hardware category. Could you rename them to include Neo Geo and the model # ? I know you have them listed as MVS 1, 2, 4 slot (all models), but I don't want to put the MVS MV-1C under what looks like a MV-1A since the slot is different.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: matt on March 27, 2011, 10:58:30 am
@pceslayer done. Should there be separate region listings?

So, I've been doing some thinking about how to add the Atari 8 bit computer software, and I think I've come up with a solution.  It would require 3 different categories, because as it has been mentioned, games were available on cartridges, floppy disks, and cassette tapes.  I'm not sure if there were any regional variations, but if we created the following categories, it should suffice for now.

Atari 8-Bit Computer (Cartridges)
Atari 8-Bit Computer (Floppy Disks)
Atari 8-Bit Computer (Cassette Tapes)
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: foxhack on June 02, 2011, 09:33:47 pm
Bump.

Speaking of missing platforms... why not add a PC [Digital] platform?

I have games from GamersGate and Direct2Drive which are more or less the same as the retail ones (just uh, without a disc). It'd be more or less like the current Steam platform, only region free and for generic digital game listings.

Playchoice 10 let you choose between 10 different games due to a multi slot mainboard,  but the playchoice was limited to only 1.

Outside of that there is no difference as they play the same games. So the playchoice would only recieve a hardware entry.

Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: madmax on August 11, 2011, 10:58:09 am
I'm not too sure as I don't actually own them. I am shopping for one for the near future (Final Fantasy was released on them)

I think it went

Wonderswan = Gameboy
Wonderswan Color = Gameboy color
SwanCrystal =  Gameboy Advanced

I'm not certain though because sources claim that both the Wanderswan color and the SwanCrystal rivaled the Gameboy Advanced and I don't think they had seperate game releases. (like the GB color and Advanced did)

But yes, Wonderswan was black and white games whereas Wonderswan color had different colored games (but was backwards compatible)


-------

Edit: after research, the swancrystal was just an upgraded wonderswan color. It did not have unique releases.

I will be adding games to both categories tonight to give them a little start (packing the computer tonight for the move though)

I have several Odyssey² games from 1978; the original Odyssey was released in 1972, so I'd say 1970 would be a safe bet for the time being. I don't think very much will crop up before 1970 unless you start looking at pinball machines and EM games.

We need the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS downloadable games (e.g., Super Mario Land {http://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/2saKwQMAvBrtz3Y9wTllG7-2OYn-ZOyZ}).

@matt

The TRS-80 and TI-99 are cartridge based home computers in a similar fashion to the Commodore 64. Barring a group name 'home computers' or something I think other is a good category for them.

The Arcadia 2001 is a straight up console, though, so perhaps it should have it's own category as I beleive it has more games then say the Microvision or Virtual Boy

@andrew I would never forget about you! ;) I'll get it added later today.

I've got another console-related question. Sorry if this has been asked before; I looked around but couldn't find an answer in any of the other threads. How should I add/categorize a Brazilian console? I have an SMS Girl that I'd like to add as well as a Brazilian SMS game. Thx!
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: foxhack on January 12, 2012, 05:26:29 pm
For the moment, all consoles go under Hardware. Just file it under [Other].

The games should go under Sega Master System, but considering just how many games were released in that region, we should probably have a Sega Master System  section. And maybe a Hardware  section too.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: matt on January 12, 2012, 06:02:46 pm
@rachel I just created Sega Master System :

As for the hardware, @foxhack is right. Just add it to the Hardware section until I get the SMS Hardware category setup. Once I get that setup I'll move it over.

Fairchild Channel F [NA] and Hardware
Bally Astrocade [NA] and Hardware
Pokemon Mini [NA], [JP], [EU] and Hardware
Pioneer LaserActive [NA] and Hardware

Amstrad GX4000 [EU] and Hardware
Philips Odyssey  This is the Brazilian version of Odyssey2, it was released as Odyssey in Brazil.
Magnavox Odyssey2 [JP]
Magnavox Odyssey2 [EU]
Funtech Super A'can [CH] and Hardware
CD-i [EU]

There is just so much PC hardware out there, and it's not like consoles where you say "I have an xbox 360". Sure I have a Dell XPS 630. But that doesn't mean much, especially once I decide to swap video cards. It's not like the old days of Atari 8-bit computers... I'll talk to matt about the PC hardware thing and see what his input is.

I can see having a category for the Apple II or the like, but I really don't see a need in listing old IBM or Compaq computers in hardware. There's a shift in the mid-80's from stand alone, buy this computer and play games (Atari 400, TI 99/4a, Amiga) to what I would consider the grandfathers of modern computers (386, 486) in that the newer ones could be changed and upgraded. Even our IBM PS/2, which was running Windows 3.1, had several parts switched out throughout its life. I think when it gets to that point, the explosion of IBM-compatible computers is a lot more than this site really needs to be tracking, in my opinion.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: hexen on March 23, 2012, 05:50:11 pm
So, whats the general opinion on stuff like the Vtech Vsmile?

Every time I see stuff for it at garage sales for cheap I always by them as a running joke with Byron... however, through this, I have actually amassed quite a sizable collection including various consoles and even games with label variations.

I'd have it added if anyone else considered it an actual console.

As far as this goes, I tend to agree. I think there should be a cutoff point where upgrades and accessories plug-in directly without opening the system and are one time. Otherwise we would be adding hundreds of models of computers and even more models of graphics cards and the like.

Post by: rachel on March 27, 2012, 06:58:41 pm
Added! It's also under "Other". Which reminds me, Tiger LCD needs to be moved to "Other" as well...

I'm having a little trouble understanding how the dedicated handhelds are organized. There are at least four categories that house them: "Other," "Tiger LCD," "Nintendo" (for Game & Watch), and "LCD Games." Within "Other" are "Konami LCD" and "Mattel Handheld." Under "LCD Games" is an Epoch handheld. I wonder if it might make sense to create one category for all dedicated handhelds and have subcategories of "Konami," "Mattel," "Tiger," "Epoch," "Nintendo," and maybe a "Misc." for oddball handhelds. (It might be nice to cross-reference the G&Ws under Nintendo if such a thing is possible, since I imagine people might look for them there, too.)

Sorry if this has been discussed elsewhere; I didn't see anything on the forum pertaining to this.

If possible, I'd also like to request adding Bandai LCD handhelds and MGA LCD handhelds as subcategories. Thank you!  ;D
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: scott on March 27, 2012, 08:49:33 pm
rachel I'm not even sure there is a rhyme or reason to the madness that is the LCD categories. Honestly, I don't know much about them. I would prefer to have them all listed by brand, like what you are suggesting though. Maybe eventually we can clean all that up and make it pretty...

Sounds good, Scott. Until then, I'll probably start throwing my MGA and Bandai stuff in the existing LCD games category. I don't know too much about LCD games either, but I've become drawn in by the beautiful case design of the early-'80s Japanese handhelds.

Just adding my vote, I also have Xavix games to add.  I also have all of the games for the ZAPit Game Wave.

Watara Supervision seems to exist as a piece of hardware, but not in the system list (for adding games)?  Am I seeing that right?  In the same vein, the Nintendo E-reader is an accessory AND a platform.  Could it be added as well?

Very low priority, but I also have Mattel HyperScan and Playskool Ion games too.

Oh my that was fast, thanks :)

I noticed in the Sega - Other section that you can add games for "SG-1000 II." I was thinking that this should just be SG-1000 and that there should be a separate "SG-1000 Hardware" link containing the SG-1000 and the SG-1000 II. I don't have either console (yet!), but I do have a game that would probably be better suited for a generic SG-1000 category that is independent of hardware revision.

All that said, I'm not sure whether the Sega Mark III falls under SG-1000 Hardware or Sega Master System hardware. Maybe someone else is more up on that piece of hardware than I?

Thanks to the mods for fielding my various, odd questions and requests over the past year! :)

Ahoyhoy! I agree with Rachel :) There should be a section to add Sega Mark III / Sega Master System [JP] games to the database. The Mark III (which is the same hardware as the Master System without the Japan-only built in FM synthesis module) runs all games from the previous SG-1000 series. Now here is my question, should the cartridge and rom card games be included under the same section?  8)

The Sega SG-1000 and SG-1000 II should be listed under their own, combined category for hardware as they are technologically different from what became the Master System. (Which is why no backwards compatibility) ;) Perhaps the section could be titled "Sega SG-1000 Series Hardware"...

I was about to add my 2MB Gold Cartridge of Out Run for the Mark III to the database when, alas, there was no appropriate section to be found. Doh! ^^;

1: Yes. The Master System took carts or cards, so.

2: Good idea but having two systems under one category might cause some confusion.

Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: kimimi on September 28, 2012, 05:36:50 am
Just been through the list of available hardware categories and I've got a few requests *Is shot* -

Arcade could use categories for the IGS PGM, IGS PGM2 and the Taito F3 specifically as well as some sort of generic "arcade board" option for units that don't use carts or similar swappable media (unless you do want a million listings for every variant of every arcade board ever o.O).

PC could use (admittedly just for my own benefit) a PC [CHN] section as well as variations on Steam for users from other regions (so [EU]/[JP] etc or however you want to split it).

Amiga needs an [EU] category too, and ideally a split into standard and AGA  (so there would be Amiga [EU]/[US] and Amiga AGA [EU]/[US] listings). AGA games had their own releases and do not work on standard Amiga hardware.

Also Japanese computers need some more categories added - PC-88, PC-98, X68000

(sorry :S)

Post by: htimreimer on September 28, 2012, 06:25:52 am
we need a action max hardware also here is some consoles we need to add because they are owned by 1 or more people and to me the other categorie should be for knock offs like the pop station and those arcade sticks with 10 games in side 

rca studio ii
pong hardware (yes we have talk about this before but at this point its starting to clutter up the other hardware category)

some thing for coleco tabletop arcade: http://vgcollect.com/item/30347 (http://vgcollect.com/item/30347)
game wave family entertainment system
creativision

I think that would get confusing. Take TERA for example - you can buy it as a digital download in Korea, Japan, the US and the EU... but each one is run by a different company, on different servers, and they don't even play the same as each other (special events run at different times, different XP rates, different censorship, etc) so they really aren't the same game at all.

I agree that for Steam games then there's really no difference between my copy of Portal 2 vs. anybody else's copy of Portal 2, but I think for at least non-Steam (and non-GOG) games we need to recognise the region.

Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: kimimi on October 08, 2012, 10:18:53 am
Just had a thought  - wouldn't it be easier to have region selectable separately from the format? So when you were adding an item you pick "Neo Geo Pocket" (for example) and then be given a choice of region afterwards. For formats that had different names in different regions (PC Engine/TurboGrafx, Mega Drive/Genesis, etc) just make sure there's a note about it in the style guide or at the top of the page or something, because obviously there's no such thing as a US PC Engine game or an EU Genesis game.

I was just thinking that might be more straightforward because then there'd always be a single complete set of regions for all formats without having to add them as totally unique categories each time.

I have no idea how the database works, so this is probably too much work or too difficult to do or something, but I thought I'd put the idea out there (if it's not been said before).

That's not a bad idea but I probably won't make any changes to it right now. Eventually there will be platform pages, that do list the regions and other basic meta-data regarding the consoles.

I can only sound like an arsehole when saying this so I may as well just get it out the way (sorry):

I've got about 100 more games I can add under the current categories, which will bring my total up to about 800 games listed in my collection here. My actual collection has over 1100 games, with most of my rarest/unique/interesting games unable to be listed. I realise that these things aren't worked on by magic database elves but I would like some idea of when missing regions/formats are going to be added ^^~

I know that Steam (for example) is essentially region free and I could list my Steam games under Steam [NA] and still sleep at night... but when we're being so specific with everything else, even down to the barcode/item number, it seems silly to fudge it. I could also list missing items under "Other"... but then I'm going to have to re-classify about 300 games at some point down the line!

PC [CHN]/[KOR] is actually the one I need the most, I have over 100 games that fall under those listings alone!  :o

Amiga absolutely needs an [EU] category, it was massive over here in the 80s/90s.

You missed off the PC-FX from your list, it's the successor to PC-Engine - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PC-FX

Personally I'd make sure *every* format has [US]/[EU]/[JP]/[CHN]/[KOR] options no matter what - I realise that would create some redundancy but it's far less frustrating to have an option and not need to use it than to be sitting on hundreds of games that you're willing to add but unable to.

Added all of these. Except for the Sega Mark III. As far as I can tell the Mark III is a variant of the Sega Master System and if it is, the hardware should be listed in with the rest of the Master System hardware. And the games would be Master System games, yes?

Strictly speaking, the Master System is a variant of the Mark III. They are the same system though, so a Japanese Master System game = Japanese Mark III game.

Thank you so much for adding those categories! Just one thing I'd like clearing up if it won't get me banned for being annoying - what's going on with arcade games? "Arcade conversion" seems to really be "Arcade other"... a conversion is actually an original board of <Game A> that has been overwritten with the code of <Game B>, which isn't the case here.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: scott on October 26, 2012, 12:35:11 pm
As far as I am aware. An arcade conversion is a machine that has had its art striped or covered and a whole different PCB installed in place of the original. I've never heard of an arcade conversion being one game being overwritten by another.
Title: Re: More Missing Consoles
Post by: kimimi on October 26, 2012, 12:43:19 pm
We're talking about different things then - when I hear "arcade conversion" I think of situations like these - http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?p=80283901

It's basically the arcade equivalent of sending off a donor SNES cart to someone and getting a Star Fox 2/Secret of Mana 2/whatever back in the post.

If the category's meant to be "repurposed arcade cabs" then those Atomiswave games need to go because they aren't what you're on about. We really need a catch-all "Arcade PCBs" category for anything that's not already been specified.

The Chinese region would cover these wouldn't it? I'm not aware of any official mainland China releases for PS2 that would warrant the need for a distinction between that and Hong Kong/Taiwan (and if we did make that distinction, then wouldn't we also need to do the same for UK/FR/DE, etc PS2 games instead of just listing them as EU?).


While we're on the subject Korea has also had its own Wii and DS releases :)

Hong Kong/Taiwan are a part of China though - drawing a line between mainland and autonomous region releases would be like creating a category just for games released in Gibraltar.

Well, Wikipedia says gaming consoles have been banned in mainland China since June 2000. So I don't see the point in having a Chinese section for console games. PC gaming is a different thing, of course.

Well, Wikipedia says gaming consoles have been banned in mainland China since June 2000. So I don't see the point in having a Chinese section for console games. PC gaming is a different thing, of course.

I think part of the confusion is that there are two release regions over there that share the same region encoding - JP and AS (rest of Asia). In the case of the PS2, they're both encoded as NTSC-J, and so fairly interchangeable, but this is one way that companies were essentially able to get around any restrictions for different areas. If you head over to Play-Asia (which is based in and ships from Hong Kong), NCSX, etc. you'll find just about every Japanese release has an Asian region counterpart, some of which are also really friendly to English-speaking importers.

Stuff like this is why I recently suggested we indicate region encoding in the details for each game, though. Helps clear up a lot of the confusion if you know that the "Chinese" release is actually an "Asian" release because it's encoded a particular way, for example, as opposed to whether it's genuinely exclusive to a particular country that doesn't fit into one of the main release areas.

smartphones/tablets are not consoles or a pc, these devices and OSes designed and marketed for/as high powered phones, its the media and accessories companies that are pushing it as a gaming device and the only reason they this, is because they have nowhere else to go with these devices with out rehashing the same old stuff.

N-Gage was a short-lived system that used carts, so the software library is fairly limited.

There's a lot of garbage released for phones. A LOT. Not to mention that some of these games will only work in certain hardware configurations, or certain models, or worse.

So I'm against adding phones / smartphones as a supported platform. There. I said it. This is MY OPINION and it doesn't represent the position of VGCollect, the site, and the admins as a whole.

there is at least 100 to 300 thousand games if we combining all them on android,iphone,windows 8 and pre smart phone, that's is just unmanageable.

the n-gage is a different story then other smartphones, the original intention for the n-gage was not to be a phone but to be handheld console but when nokia didn't think it would sell well against the GBA, so they added the phone and symbian os part of the device

Totally support this. Disposable devices with disposable content designed to make a quick buck, and no established model for... well, much of anything. I like my phone, but I won't spend a dime on software or games for it, and it seems silly to treat it as a legitimate platform.

On the Wii U, there is no actual "Virtual Console".  Everything is sort of lumped together in the eShop. Even Nintendo's own website doesn't differentiate. Everything is listed as an eShop download.

The staff has been discussing different ways to handle DLC and I expect we will be making a formal decision/announcement after the massive site upgrade.

Windows Phone Store
Apple Store perhaps for iPhone/iPod/iPad users
Google Play for Android users
(scratched as I got my answer in the reply below)
Xbox Live Games on Demand [EU]
Xbox Live Indie Games [EU]

Perhaps change PC Digital Download title to not have the NA? PC games can mostly be downloaded worldwide so I don't see a reason for region on that.

Also in regards to that..a suggestion, which you might talk amongst you admins about, is maybe have a whole PC Digital Download section? With GOG.com, Steam, Desura, Origin, Uplay.. the "big" ones. Instead of having a title in Digital Download adding (gog.com) in the title.

long ago, we agreed that we will not be adding any phone games

the only exception we made is the n gage, this was do to it small library of games and that it still used physical media also the app stores have thousands of game's and putting all of them on the server would take a lot of space


also can you add  vic 20 accessory,arcadia 2001 hardware and RCA studio 2

I thought a lot of those were under "hardware" - pong systems like the telestar for example. Unless there's a generic pong category for all those millions of pong systems from the 70's.

I was also noticing that there's no Apple II accessory category for things like apple II joysticks, which I wanted to add. I thought of putting it in hardware at first but was not sure.

You're right, I was thinking of the other coleco telstars. I would tend to agree that if a system has removable media it should have it's own category under perhaps a general "miscellaneous" category?

I have a question as a Tandy Coco fan - why is the hardware under "Tandy" but the software is under "Other"? Shouldn't it be like other categories like how Atari has hardware and software under a main "Atari" umbrella?

Shouldn't it be "Tandy" or TRS-80 as a main heading with hardware and software as sub-categories?

Sorry mods, just spit-ballin :)

Yes, but does anyone here actually have games for all those systems?  Personally, I'd rather wait and add them as needed, as opposed to creating a ton of categories that nobody will ever use. And I also think we should consider adding a "Dedicated Console" category under "Other" for all the pong type games that don't have removable media.  Coleco Telstar Arcade should probably get it's own category though. I've seen that pop up here a few times.

Toy-to-Life categories? Skylanders and Disney Infinity are just spamming up the Accessory category. As it stands right now the naming convention has been to use the name of the model and then "- Skylanders" or "- Skylanders Figure" or Skylanders and the name of whatever series the figure belongs too. When that's mixed in with the other miscellaneous accessories it becomes a big mess.

Skylanders:
- Spyro's Adventure
- Giants
- Swap Force
- Trap Team (Releasing in October but might as well add it now)

Disney Infinity I'm not really familiar with and (the upcoming) Amiibo could probably go under Nintendo Other.

It got ignored last time, so I'm going to ask for Game Boy [CN] to be added so I can properly add my Chinese Kirby's Adventure.

I'm pretty sure I added it to the list I compiled for Matt.  I'll look into it.
