[edit] VC (NA)

You will have to put Vigilante back in, I had to remove it to revert some vandalism. TJ Spyke 00:51, 3 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] VC images

I was curious, how do you locate the images on the Wii Shop server? I know you use firefox, but you hack it? Neo Samus 13:53, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

This may be a moot point since Nintendo has removed the screenshots from the unreleased games. Anyway, no Firefox hacking is necessary. All you need to do is fiddle with a URL. Here's Excitebite's URL for example:
http://ccs.shop.wii.com/ccs/download/0001000146424345/FFFD0001
The part you'll want to play with is the "46424345" part, which represents a four-letter game code in hexadecimal. The "46" (the ASCII code for "F") means this is an NES game; change it to 4A ("J") to look for SNES games, 4D ("M") for Genesis, 4E ("N") for N64, and 50 ("P") for Turbografx.
The middle four digits identify the game itself. So far all released games will start with 41 ("A") or 42 ("B"); this will change as more games are released. As for the next two digits, they need to be the ASCII hex code for a digit (30 to 39) or a capital letter (41 to 5A).
The final 45 ("E") is a region code (for North America, in this case.) I don't know what to change it to if you want to look at the European and Japanese line-ups.
What I and a few others have done is made a html file with several of these URLs, so we can load an entire range at once and see if anything's shown up. -Arcanelore 21:44, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

That's very interesting! Thanks for the info (I never realized you commented back about it....heh.) Neo Samus 19:08, 11 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Comment

I just wanted to point out, I like the version of the list article found here: User:Arcanelore/Sandbox. But frankly, people dont seem to agree with me (even though they have pointed out no reason why they hate it from what I've seen). RobJ1981 15:25, 27 June 2007 (UTC)

Ok, I'll admit, I really like this version, a lot. Arcanelore, could maybe post a comment about this again as a compromise. Neo Samus 00:39, 29 June 2007 (UTC)
