Video Game Database Discussion / How to list rental cases
« on: May 04, 2018, 08:57:29 am »
Hey there
I have a Metal Gear Solid 1 Blockbuster rental and I'm wondering how I should list it onto the database. I'm not sure if I put it under the normal games and add " - Blockbuster Rental" at the end or if there is another section for rentals (if so I couldn't find it). Could someone please clarify for me please. Thank you.

Video Game Database Discussion / How to list Wireless Controller for Reference Tool PS3
« on: January 08, 2018, 04:41:33 pm »
Hey there
I have a official PS3 Wireless Controller specifically for the PS3 reference tool. On the boox it is written as "Wireless Controller for Reference Tool" and underneath that is says "DECR-1010U".
Can I just confirm with someone that if I'm to add this to the database that it does go into the PS3 Accessories section and I add it as the following
   Wireless Controller for Reference Tool
and in the alt name
   DECR-1010U

Get back to me whenever.
Cheers,

Video Game Database Discussion / Demo listings
« on: December 21, 2017, 02:27:11 pm »
Hey there
I'm confused about PS1 demo listings for the database. I'm hoping someone can clear this up for me.
How is a PlayStation 1 demo disc meant to be listed on the database? If it gets listed Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 3 then the order in which it is listed on the database is wrong as it appears as the following:
   Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 29
   Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 3
   Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 30
   Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 31
If it gets listed as Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 03 then it appears as:
   Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 02
   Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 03
   Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 04
Now I requested some changes to demo names from 1, 2 and 3 to 01, 02 and 03 which were approved but then when I tried to do the others, they were not approved so can one of the database managers please tell me the correct way to list demo discs and then please correct it on the database so it is listed correctly please?
Thank you in advance.

Video Game Database Discussion / Demo Listing method
« on: May 14, 2017, 04:00:01 pm »
Hey there

Can someone tell me the best way to list / add demo discs to the database please as there are currently 2 different ways in which they are listed and its making searching for a few things a bit annoying. What I mean is just the general name for the demo disc listing so I'll show what I mean below.

So PS1 demo discs are listed as follows at the moment:
Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 65

I think this method is perfect and should be implemented for for PS2 demo discs with the addition to the month / year being added as well as well as the - which is on the side of each of the magazines and demo discs. At the moment there are 2 different ways in which they've been listed / named and I'm only bringing this up as it's just a way to keep the database clean and tidy in general. It also helps when it comes to searching for these demo's on the database. These are the 2 listed methods at the moment:
PlayStation 2 Official Magazine U.K. Demo Disc 68 / January 2006
PlayStation 2 Official Magazine-UK Demo Disc 11 / September 2001

So what I am asking is can there be a standard now for adding demo discs onto the database which is as follows for PS1 and for PS2 and these be implemented on the ones currently on the database. I did try changing them a while back but they weren't authorised.
PS1 (Some demo discs have different Vol hence the Vol bit on the first listing)
Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 00: Vol 00
Official UK PlayStation Magazine Demo Disc 00

PS2
PlayStation 2 Official Magazine-UK Demo Disc 00 / January 2006

If someone could get back to me and let me know what they think or approve this, that would be great. If it is approved can someone go through the demo listings and make the alterations please? I'm sure you guys could do it faster then me doing it and then having it authorised by someone.

Thanks

General / Commodore Facebook groups and / or pages?
« on: March 17, 2017, 06:02:05 pm »
Hey guys n girls
Does anyone here know of any groups or pages on Facebook devoted to old gen PC hardware or Commodore hardware such as the C64, Amiga 500, etc. Mainly looking for a group which deals a lot in replacement parts, mods, repairs, those kind of things. I did do a search but only came up with community pages with little interaction.

I just got this online for a bit more then what I wanted to pay but I got it anyway and I'm just wondering what I should categorize it under in the database. It is a game but it's also a dev cartridge so not sure if it should be put under games, hardware or accessories. Any help is appreciated. Thanks in advance :)

Video Game Database Discussion / PlayStation 1 Shop Sign listing
« on: July 17, 2015, 08:54:59 am »
Hey guys n girls!
I got this PlayStation 1 Shop Sign but I'm not sure what to classify it as on the database. Would it go under "Other" or would it go under PlayStation hardware, I'm not 100% sure where it goes. Any help is appreciated.

Thank you.

P.S Not sure how to upload image of the sign into the forum so any help there would be good as well.

General / Recommended YouTube channels?
« on: April 13, 2015, 10:33:28 am »
Hey guys!
Just wondering how many of you have YouTube channels? Looking to find some channels to subscribe to as my subscription list is a little low at the moment. Link me up guys! If there are any channels you recommend as well that would be great. I'm really into my retro stuff so if you could keep that in mind that would be great. I'm already subscribed to The Game Chasers, Pat the NES Punk, AlphaOmegaSin, Gaming Historian and MetalJesusRocks so any other channels besides them would be great!
Thanks guys!

Site Feedback / VGCollect App for Windows Phone?
« on: March 25, 2015, 11:38:39 am »
Is there anyway of getting an App made for Windows phone? I know there is one for Android but I don't use an Android phone. If it's already in development or been developed and I just don't know about it then cool.
