Hmmm thats a nice idea for a tool
quick concept alpha version http://vg-database.com/tools/dat-converter
it should work on redump dats as far as I tested
let me know if output format is not valid or if you encounter any issues
and.. if you need another format send me a sample
oh thats great, i will give it a try and will update u,
if possible could u do one more thing, there is a normal DAT file and then there is a no-intro one. now
this is how a game name look in normal file
Actua Soccer (E) (v1.0) [SLES-00014]
and this is how it look in no-intro file
Actua Soccer (Europe) (En,Fr,Es,It,Nl,Sv,Da,Fi) (v1.0)
if u can make a little program which can combine them into one like this
Actua Soccer (Europe) (En,Fr,Es,It,Nl,Sv,Da,Fi) (v1.0) [SLES-00014] that would be nice. offcourse only if u have time to do so, thanks.
PS: only thing which will be left after that would be to some how add the Edition to the game name, but i am not sure if admins are planing to add that to the DAT file.
Once again thanks a lot for all of ur work.
no prob I decided to make ultimate tool pack for collectors and I will do it
Actua Soccer (Europe) (En,Fr,Es,It,Nl,Sv,Da,Fi) (v1.0) [SLES-00014]
well... when there will be a mirror of all dumps in vg-database that would be no problem for me to generate dat's with custom names
but right now I see two options , either someone will provide this updated no-intro dat
or.. Dremora would code generator for dat with list of languages
parser that would extract updated languages from redump html would work at least few minutes to get it done each time
Actually what i was thinking is that user download 1 dat from here
http://redump.org/datfile/psx/
then the second one from here
http://redump.org/datfile/no-intro/psx/
then load them both in a software, the software took the no-intro dat and then add the serial number to it from the other list, and create a new DAT. so no need for a HTML parser
offcourse for addition of Editions in game name we either need a HTML parser or someone to provide that info in DAT file, but that can be ignored at the moment
daaamn! I didnt know redump provide no-intro dats
if thats the case, heres the tool
http://vg-database.com/tools/dat-merger
I wonder if anyone else would use that ?
for me this one seems completely useless
I would like to use your tool, if not all the cue files would be wrong.. by the way outstanding site you have created cHrI8l3..
thx
it is possible to code cue checksum converter... but it would consume at least twice as server resources as simple merger (its about 2-3 seconds to just merge playstation dats)
I'll consider adding this feature thou but not today
tools will anyway be restricted to upper classes of users as soon as server starts to overload
right now it's on shared hosting, but I think even dedicated would not be enough when there will be more users
ps. possible only while having constant pregaps and tracks 2+ as audio
ok i give the DAT Merger a tried, and it worked great, couple of minor issues thou.
1) i registered a account on ur site, it send me an activation link, i click it, But the activation page kept saying "Invalid Activation ID", thou i was able to get the DAT file, so me be my account was activated, it just didn't redirected to correct page
2) the link it gave me to download was
http://static.vg-database.com/tools/dat … 03-28-43)_[vg-Database.com].dat
which have http://static.vg-database.com/tools/dat-converter/ in its start, and it should not be there.
offcourse this make CUE file CRC invalid, as that value will change with the new name, i am thinking a good solution to this problem at the moment, the couple of solution that come to mind is not something i really liked. Hopefully some site admin will implement a way to get these new DAT from this site with Edition Info and correct CUE files.
Once again Thanks a lot for these utilities, i will sure use them.
1. its because you used activation link more than one time, after first activation, key is being changed
2. ok, its fixed
