Off-Topic / pcedaisakusen.net update!
08/04/2008, 08:01 AM
I'm currently working on a new release of the framework the daisakusen page is based upon. This took me quite some time as about 75% of the code has been completely rewritten. However, the new release is in the pipeline and I'm about to start planning the daisakusen update. Below is a list of things I want to include or improve.

  • Adding missing games to the database (mostly promos, demos, prototypes)
  • Adding a section for PC-FX games (I'm not sure yet how to integrate this part into the rest of the page, suggestions are welcome)
  • Redoing filter/countdown feature: I'm thinking about giving a pool of filters/countdowns to choose from in the profile page so everybody can customize his search/collection page (e.g. shoot'em ups, RPGs, mahjong games, Hudson vols, etc.).
  • Collection options will depend on the actual game (e.g. atm it's not possible to mark the spinecard checkbox of a hucard game which came in a big case)
  • All system cards and other unclearable stuff will be removed from the clearing countdown
  • Gallery/game room feature for users to share pics of their game environment
  • Adding more profile options (avatar, multiple templates to choose from, ...)
  • Collection compare feature (games you have which the other don't and vice versa)
  • Advanced search feature
  • More statistics
  • Full redesign
  • Translate the Japanese parts which are still in English (help  [-o< )
  • Adding more information about games

About adding more game information: Since I can hardly find any time to add missing genres or stuff like that, I've recently been thinking about a link on each game page which leads the user into a contribution mode where he can add/revise missing information about the game. The infos would be checked before added to the DB. However, I don't know if people would use this, therefore I'll be waiting and make my decision later based on the number of positive/negative comments I've received about this.

If somebody has another feature request or a suggestion about a point listed above, please let me know and I will see what I can do :)

I always thought this game was to be released as a Super CD-ROM, however, I've just seen this auction:

http://page6.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/f61765966

The type can be clearly seen as a CD-ROM and I'm kinda confused now. Maybe this guy has somehow managed to get his hands on a "real" copy. Even if it's a fake ass self-made copy, it seems hardly believable that someone would make such a basic mistake. This leaves us with the other possibility that I've just been foolishly assuming that it was a SCD, although everybody knew it was not. Given my Charles Xavier like brain power, this makes even less sense!!

Does anybody know something about this matter?

Someone has already mentioned this rumor in a previous topic but I couldn't find it and I think the issue is big enough to be discussed in an own topic.

A few weeks ago, I decided to download some ISOs from the net and play these fake ass disks instead of the original ones since I wanted to keep the games which cost me $200+ in utmost uber mint condition. Yesterday, I was happily playing some SCD games with my Interface unit when I felt like playing some Sylphia. I inserted the ISO, watched the whole intro sequence (no problems so far) and was surprised about the huge loading time for the title screen afterwards. Then I realized that the disk wasn't spinning around anymore. I went back to the system card screen and tried to load again but the disk didn't start to turn around. I thought the ISO was fucked up and tried a few original games as well as a music CD but none of them was working. I can't even manually choose a track different from 0 with the buttons on the console which is normally possible regardless whether the system succeeds to access the track or not. Usually, you hear a short klick when you press run and the disk starts spinning but since "playing" that ISO, there is a constant buzz instead.

This incident makes me think that those stinkin' ISOs destroyed my lovely hardware in some way. Has anyone experienced something similar or has an idea why this can happen in the first place?
