About VC and WiiWare codes - including poll

[Link]

Now that Gecko 1.9 has VC and WiiWare support we're having a public forum for those.. right now they are in this forum, language mixed.. please check that the last letter of a game code is most likely referring to your region. Those are (table from http://wiibrew.org/wiki/Title_database ):

                                                       

ASCII	Region
A	All regions. System channels like the Mii channel use it.
D	German-speaking regions. Only if separate versions exist, e.g. Zelda: A Link to the Past (JADD)
E	USA/Canada and other NTSC regions except Japan
F	French-speaking regions. Only if separate versions exist, e.g. Zelda: A Link to the Past. (JADF)
J	Japan
K	Korea
L	Japanese Import to Europe, Australia and other PAL regions
M	American Import to Europe, Australia and other PAL regions
N	Japanese Import to USA and other NTSC regions
P	Europe, Australia and other PAL regions
Q	Korea with Japanese language.
T	Korea with English language.
X	Not a real region code. Homebrew Channel uses it, though.

The poll above will remain active for 14 days.. then action will be taken! And no, it's unlikely to make a new area for VC/WW codes with region splitup! Those would be merged to EU/NA/JP areas then!

Additional note: replying here should be possible now.. I won't vote this is going to be a user/mod decision!

I like it just the way it is, a separate board for all WiiWare/VC

[Jassim]

this may sound bizzare but this is how i think it should be.

Virtual console as a separate board with 2 child boards: codes and support

WiiWare as a separate board with 2 child boards: codes and support.

[ssbbdude]

i think it should be the same as other code threads: PAL, JAP, and USA All serperate Support and Codes Seperate in each one.

[Jassim]

problem is channels are split into 14 sub catergories, i.e its not just PAL, NTSC-U and NTSC-J, theres much more

[ssbbdude]

true, meh the way it is now is good enough

Due to the several region codes of VC and Wiiware games, I'd say the current system is fine. If needed in the future, you could then split up VC and Wiiware into their own boards.

Well, true about that.. with region codes.. we couldn't seperate them completely.. on a more serious note:

All region codes which have appeared so far are D, P, E and J I guess.. so we could so far keep the current system.. D (Germany) would have to be mixed into PAL codes.. same for F codes and such..

And as long as noone hacks the Mii Channel ;)

I don't mind all the regions being grouped into one, but I think WiiWare and VC should be seperated. Since there are also injected games, it would probably best to make a sub group for Injected VC aswell.

I happily seperate WiiWare and VC but I do not think supporting injected VC games would be a very good idea.. I'll give that to a discussion however.

Most injected VC games are (fact!) illegal because they kinda steal the apploader of another game you maybe did not buy and such.. and well.. WAD stuff like that is not allowed here for legal reasons!

Injected games can also cause issues, all you need is a different rom rip or one thats slightly off and all the codes will be different.

Isn't that "Super Smash Bros." Jassim made codes for injected, too? At least I've never heard of an official VC release by Nintendo yet...

The game ID for it (NA9J) would indicate that the game is a JAP game, and Super Smash Brothers for the N64 has been released on the Virtual Console in Japan...

[hetoan2]

but jassim's a pirate and wouldn't know weather it was the real NTSC-J or if it had a NTSC rom injected -.-

[Jassim]

guys just test the codes i made, if they dont work, then sorry about it and ill remove them, if they do work, ill keep them there if thats fine with everyone
