Video Game Database Discussion / Re: Copying items from one region to another?

« on: March 08, 2021, 09:28:02 am »

In what case is the information ever identical? Most items between regions have different ratings, text, barcodes, artwork, item numbers and release dates. It's not really practical for our database where the purpose is to document all the different variations with all of the different artworks, item numbers etc.

https://vgcollect.com/item/35330 - DR Mario (NES).  Maybe it's just a miscat, as I'm not familiar with the EUR version.  The info lines up with the NA release, though.

There's an entry for CONTRA as well, but I just put in an edit to get its region changed.  I'm almost certain it was miscategorized as I believe the EUR version would have been called Probotector

There are some complete (or mostly complete) EU items that could work as NA items.  Is there a way to copy/fork an entry from one country to another without having to totally rebuild it from the bottom-up?  Would probably help to reduce database sizes as well if the box/cartridge photo is identical.

That's awesome!  Thanks!  I'd been using the quick search.

Site Feedback / Improving search filters

I was wondering if there were any plans on improving search filters?

Right now it seems like you can only search by title, and you get ALL the results back from the search.  It would be really helpful if you could drill down the results by filtering for region and/or system etc.

If this is already possible, maybe I could suggest making it more intuitive?  I'm a new user here (like literally 24h old account if that), so sorry if I'm missing something really obvious here.

Thanks!
