Code database question...

In places like this:

Why is there a separate "system" for "official gameshark", and even more puzzling...why are they credited to Sage?

[ugetab]

I'm curious about that myself. I wonder who did it?

[Ace]

I believe it was Hiro; he's the one who added all of the 'Official' codes..
Though I've no idea why he labeled them as 'official'... as I didn't know Sage worked for GameShark..

Also, just as an FYI (If you didn't know/remember), the Sage that these codes are credited to is not the same Sage that is in #GSHI, rather a hacker that was in the scene a long time ago.. (All the way back to the VB Daryl, Barubary, Robb, NightMare days)

Here're some links I found while googling some of Sage's codes on this site (They further back my point):
Frogger 2 (Color) | GSHI
Frogger 2 (Color) | CMGSCCC
Frogger 2 (Color) | GSCentral

[Lazy Bastard]

Ah. I've renamed the "GameBoy: Official Gameshark" system, removing the "Official".

It'd probably be better if the other "official" codes were added to their original systems, with the hacker "Galoob", or whoever made them...

[Lazy Bastard]

I've started moving games from that system, over to Game Boy...later, we'll have to merge some games together, as I'm guessing we'll end up with a lot of duplicates...

[Lazy Bastard]

OK, I migrated all the games from that "system" to Game Boy (geh, exhausting, heh). If I don't get to it, would someone go through Game Boy for duplicate games, and merge them?

[Lazy Bastard]

Hey, take a look at this: http://gshi.org/?s=v2&sys=10&gid=3131

Wasn't "God" one of the nicks NYPD used, after he got banned from GSCCC the first time?

[Lazy Bastard]

Also, I'm up to Kirby's Pinball Land in Game Boy, checking for duplicates. I'm taking a break. Feel free to do some merging.

[Lazy Bastard]

Also, systems that have games with 0 codes:

Game Gear [Edit: pruned]
Genesis [Edit: pruned]
SNES [Edit: pruned]
NES [Edit: pruned...and holy fuck, that was gruelling. Though, it would've been considerably worse, were I to do it completely manually]

I've deleted quite a few 0-code games, but damn...there are quite a few. Most of these are probably from our deletion of codes from GSC members who requested to have them removed.

[Edit: They're all removed...as usual, I got overzealous five minutes later, heh]

[Ace]

Yes, God was one of NYPD's aliases.. I'd totally forgotten about that.. heh.

[Lazy Bastard]

Heh, yeah.

Bleh, I'm too damn lazy to think of a good way to merge the two Kirby's Pinball Land entries in Game Boy...at least without sitting down for like thirty minutes...

[LiquidManZero]

I'll take care of it. I know a fast way to do it.

[edit]

There, done. Just have to run the recalculation stuff, and it should be fine.

[Lazy Bastard]

All right, thanks. Also...if your method is fast enough for comfort, would you mind finishing the merging of whatever GB games are duplicates? I think the last one I did was a Mega Man one, so it should be halfway done already...

[LiquidManZero]

No problem. Figuring out the duplicates is a bit time consuming though.
