Talk:M3 gba roms

From M3 Wiki

There seems to be a problem with release numbers. As far as I can tell, there's no problem up to #1864. After that, there are differences between the numbers given by GBAtemp, the numbers listed on the "M3 gba roms" entry, and the numbers listed on the actuel "M3 gba roms/xy00 to xy99". Can somebody help clear the confusion? --Wlof 19:52, 29 August 2007 (EDT)

Can you try and expand on that? The only way to fix it would be to rename every single rom number (either by hand or using a bot). If you can tell us slightly more about the way it is out of sync, especially between pages on the wiki, that would be great.

Well, here are games #1864 to #1870, according to, in this order: GBAtemp / M3 gba roms

#1864: Zelda Minish Cap / Banjo Pilot
#1865: Banjo Pilot / Zelda Minish Cap
#1866: Hot Mario / Mario Party
#1867: Mario Party / Brother Bear + Lion King
#1868: Brother Bear + Lion King / Vatroller X
#1869: Vatroller X / Lord of the Rings
#1870: Busters Road / Busters Road

I can only assume the problem gets worse over time, because Final Fantasy V Advance (E), for instance is numbered: #2733 by GBAtemp, #2725 according to the file name (downloaded from a well-known P2P network ^^), #2727 according to PocketHeaven... (No problem with the wiki here because I created the 2701-2800 entry myself, based on GBAtemp.)

\#2600 is: Tonka (GBAtemp), Tomb Raider (PocketHeaven), Tonka (M3 gba roms), Tomb Raider (M3 gba roms/2501-2600)

It seems like a lot of work (and error-prone) to check everything by hand, but on the other hand, writing a bot to do the job is certainly a lot of work too, and maybe not entirely feasible (since the release numbers vary, the only reliable info to identify a ROM is its name, and those tend to vary too...)

What do you think?

Also, since the M3 gba roms page break the 32kb limit, what do you think about switching it to the M3 nds roms page's format?
