Dupe Code Clean-up

[rimsky82]

I got rid of a bunch of duplicates today, and I was extra careful to go over what was being deleted, and even started over a couple times to make sure codes weren't disappearing that we still wanted. I made the script pretty strict for this first pass, and I only went through the older systems.

Within each game, code titles had to match, as well as any group and, of course, the code itself. I didn't compare the code text, but the system's interpretation of the raw code. I didn't do newer systems, because the code converters are still somewhat buggy and I need to strengthen them before I use this script on it. Pretty much the playstation/n64 generation and up were not processed yet.

I still weeded out thousands of duplicates. Because of the strict standards I used on this first pass, there may still be dupes, but not nearly as many.

Another thing that came out of this is that I added the Xploder device for the gb/gbc systems. I did so, because even though in the past I thought that it was the same as the gameshark, the codes start with a "0D" instead of a "01". If anyone could let me know if there are other types for the gb/c Xploder, that would be great.

Galoob Game Gear Cleanup

Just finished cleaning up the 'official' codes by Galoob in the Sega Game Gear section of the database. Basically cut their code count in half. There was a lot of this going on:



Also fixed a lot of Galoob's codes that weren't duplicates. By the codes being posted with spaces instead of dashes, the codes were unrecognized by the system and detected as RAW.
