Official Dolphin GAME.INI Update

There are so many games tested yet but no changes made in the INI, so I decided to release a new, changed ini. Please submit new games with notes and genres, read the nfo to get more news!
Enjoy it! But please do not contribute a new version! Send me the infos I need (I prefer per PM) and I will add them to the new release and give you credits!

The first Official Release of my INI!!!
FIRES allowed me to release it now and it's a big bunch of work.
It's ready since the 5th Decembre (you will see it in the history and the file date) and features 363 games, 10 bootfixes, reworked old tmaps and many more! But finally it's released, a little pre-christmas gift. :santa:

FEATURES:
-Nice Installer
-Lots of documentary
-363 tested, reported and renamed games with infos
-reworked confusing old notes
-own renaming system to avoid confusions and recognize the different versions
-big fat compatibility list, with different colors, special infos to see all reported games on one view...
-boot fixes for some unbootable games, to let them boot on the TEASER (like Zelda 4 Swords, or Pac-Man Vs.) and fixed old ones, too
-MapMaker to avoid "black screen forever" things
-lots of tweaks and infos for running some special games better
-many other special things, you have to download it!
-official!! A new life sign of Dolphin!

Got tired of waiting for the INI to be updated so I made my own

It's not nearly as polished, but it does add 89 new games, plus 7 from MasterPhw! That brings the total to 147 games!!

EDIT: Removed ini, MasterPhw has put all of the new games from mine into his....

 

[MasterPhW]

So, version 0.2.5 is released! Sorry for the long waiting, was playing GTA: SA! Great game!!!!

- did a little (style) update to my nfo and my history (again&again and again...)
- added a bunch of 16 new games with comments and region marks:
(THX to all who have reported games, see Credits section, but some Games will be in the next release! Sorry 4 that. BTW: I'd changed most of your notes to fit mine and please report them more detailed next time, that means not only "Not Working", rather why it's not working, because there's a black screen or why?)
Backyard Baseball (NTSC), Disney's Magical Park (JAP), Beyond Good and Evil (NTSC), Donkey Konga (NTSC), Eternal Darkness (NTSC), Hitman 2: Silent Assassin (NTSC), Phantasy Star Online: Episode I&II (NTSC), Paper Mario 2 (NTSC), Prince of Persia: The Sands of Time (NTSC), Pikmin 2 (NTSC), Resident Evil III - Nemesis (NTSC) (USA), Sonic Adventure 2: Battle (NTSC), Soul Calibur 2 (NTSC), SSX 3 (NTSC), SSX Tricky (NTSC) and Tales of Symphonia (NTSC) #
- renamed 3 Games: Nintendo Puzzle Collection (NTSC) --> (JAP), NARUTO2 --> Naruto 2 and PAC-MAN Vs. --> Pac-Man Vs. (NTSC)
- changed the notes of following games: Robotech: Battlecry (NTSC), Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg (NTSC), Capcom Vs. SNK 2 EO (JAP), Crazy Taxi (PAL), Disney's Party (NTSC), Dragon Ball Z Budokai (NTSC), Mario Kart: Double Dash!! (PAL), Mario Party 4 (PAL), Naruto 2 (JAP), Super Monkey Ball (PAL) and Soul Calibur 2 (PAL)
- added a "Not reported yet!" to all ??? entries
- fixed some typos (in the nfo, the INI and the history) and fixed the link to my thread in the nfo
- make the history a little bit smaller, now text editor users can see the history without probs with enabled word wrap with font size 9
- removed the summary (will be back in the next version in an better way... you will see, wait for release 0.3)
- there are still probably some things more I can't remember!

 

[JinXD]

MasterPhw, you need to change,

[GNUJ]
Name=Naruto 2 (JAP)
Notes=Works&Playable, but I don't understand Japanese?
Genre=Fighting

to

[GNUJ]
Name=Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen (JAP)
Notes=Works&Playable, but I don't understand Japanese?
Genre=Fighting

It's the original Naruto, not the sequel. The rest I'll let you fix in the next update. e.g. some of the unkown games are in my ini, the games in my ini that aren't in yours.

Keep up the good work!

Thanks, will change this and all games will be in the next release, too.
And another special thing I have to announce: my new INI makes Zelda 4 Swords (NTSC) boot and get ingame! Look on my screens! Now it finally works with the teaser! But can you play it? You have to wait!
It's just one of my new (fantastic) features I announced in my last release. Will release it friday or on weekend.

[MasterPhW]

Sorry for not releasing it today had a little problem.
A release in the next few days. Now with over 160 games and many many more features!
But a little status update: I fixed my own bootfix for 4 sword, now you can see all the backgrounds in the title screen. Some more screens with the running intro.

Nice to hear MasterPhW

 

[spyro32]

Here the amazing changes list of version 0.3:

- redone my renaming system, because when it's released in Europe that doesn't mean that's a PAL game, could support NTSC as well and there are already some Japanese games in the INI, that I didn't marked with a NTSC, because the ID is different, so I decided to change all (NTSC) entries to (USA) and all (PAL) entries to (EUR), to make it better... your opinion?
- redone, redesigned and resorted my INI a little bit, now it's more transparent and better in my opinion!
- rewrote and totally redesigned my nfo, added some more information's and news, tweaked and changed some things... now it doesn't look so good it looks before, but now it's clearer to read and better to understand. Please give me your opinion!
- wrote a compatibility list only for my INI, to have all games on a view, with my extended and better summary! (here is it again! )
- added two Boot fixes (but not the last I think) to let The Legend of Zelda: 4 Swords Adventure (NTSC) and Pac-Man Vs. (USA) boot. The Pac-Man one is just a quick fix, I've done some hours for the release. Probably I'll change some things in the next release, if I discover a failure! A little comment to the boot fixes: if there's a *fixed* behind the notes, that means these games aren't really supported by the emu, but with a little work (of me! ) they will boot. I think I could fix up to 30% of the "black screen" games, there's only one prob: I don't own most of them. You have to wait, till I buy these games or get them from one of my friends or another source, sorry guys!
- added new Game fixes to the nfo section: Biohazard 4: Trial Edition (JAP), Disney's Magical Park (JAP), Naruto Gekitou Ninja Taisen 2 (JAP), Pokémon Colosseum (ALL), Yu-Gi-Oh! The Falsebound Kingdom (USA) and a special tip for all games to enhance grafiks!
- added a new section to the nfo: GCM shrinking with some entries (to lazy to count)
