Category/Platform Requests 2.0

[tripredacus]

forgive me is this is not the correct thread, and please point me in the direction of where i must:

i just recieved my physical copy of strife veteran edition for switch (via LRG) and i wanted to put it in my collection but i only find the digital edition. i know LGR published (and distributed) games are here because i have the rest in my database.

those on the know, can you add this version to the overal database?

I have added it here:
https://vgcollect.com/item/217504
in the future you can add a game if it is missing.

thank you!.

i JUST noted the "add game" tab thingy in the database. if i had seen it before i would not jave made this post.

Added the previously requested VTech sub-cats
Went through the V.Smile sub-cat and moved the hardware and accessories out.
As previously discussed, all VTech hardware and accessories are catch-all for all of the systems including the Socrates.

Added 1 game into the InnoTab, Socrates and V.Reader sub-cats so they won't 404. There does not appear to be any games in the db for those systems yet.

V.Smile Pro is the EU name for V.Smile Flash.

Its been a long time since this was requested but now it is finally done.

The Hardware section needs a lot of work because a lot of the console entries are formatted wrong, or have console picture in front art. I tried to find what I could just using Ebay. The VSmile "Second Generation" is probably all going to have the (New and Improved) descriptor as that is the text that is on the box. And I also believe that all of the VSmile systems came with games so they will need to have those descriptors added. Unlike a couple years ago when I looked up VSmile, there are a lot less of the boxed systems on Ebay today.

Perhaps the Acorn Archimedes could move from Other, into it's own section at some point?
It could be under the name Acorn 32-bit, or Acorn Archimedes.
 
Curious what your thoughts are

Yes I was thinking about it also. I tend to think that a platform that is currently in Other can get a category if it has a page worth of entries which is 25. The Archimedes meets the bill. It was close for a while which is why I didn't do anything before, I looked when I was adding the Hitachi and Sony games to there.

Now I see we have a slight error in the current category list, where BBC Micro is a parent category. I will make an Archimedes sub-cat in "BBC Micro" with the idea that we will rename BBC Micro to Acorn Computers later.

new sub-cat is here (will 404 until items are moved to it)
https://vgcollect.com/browse/archimedes

Any entries in Other that need to be moved must be renamed to remove the "Acorn Archimedes - " prefix on item names.
This section is set to type Games so no hardware can be put into there.

I am working on the "elimination" of Other category, as a result a large amount of categories and sub-cats will be added. I won't be putting those into here, as historically I've only put requests in the changelog anyways. Most existing sub-cats that were in Other have been moved out and have been noted in the first post.

Not sure where rating requests are to be submitted so just putting here.

Is it possible to add a provisional and demonstration CERO ratings for items like these?  https://vgcollect.com/item/106564

I can add/change Ratings now so getting that done isn't a problem.
Based on here: https://vgcollect.com/forum/index.php/topic,8623.msg145234.html#msg145234

Where Metshael has English names for Educational/Database, Rating Pending and Provisional, I am wondering if it wouldn't be better to use the actual words instead of what is there. He did not put what the original text for those ratings were. If you want to find out this information, we may make a better choice as to how to represent it.

Would this include other Ratings? I'd love to be able to add in ratings for French, Spanish, Portuguese, Finnish and Russian games instead of just adding in information to the description. 

[tripredacus]

I will add it to my project list to take a look at ratings.
