Hello! There is a newer thread. You should probably go there instead!

Hello, everyone! This is a <i><b>Beta</b></i> release for a WiiWare dat for OLL and ClrMamePro. It is beta in the sense that some of the supplementary information may not be 100% accurate, but it has been out long enough with no major error reports to be confident that it has no glaring CRC errors. This release is helping me gear up towards the bigger release of a Virtual Console dat and, afterwards, a Miscellaneous dat (for Wii Channels, Disc-Based DLC, and other non-full ISO goodies.)
This thread is updated regularly with updates at the bottom of the post, and RSS feeds are available at the bottom for knowing when new releases are published.
I notice there have been some other WiiWare dats before, one by <a href="http://gbatemp.net/index.php?showuser=98188" target="_blank">Methanoid</a> and then the one by <a href="http://psykos77.free.fr/site/offlinelist/telechargement.html" target="_blank">Psykos</a>. The dat by Methanoid has been discontinued, while Psykos still updates his, but our dat styles are a little different, so I will detail the features/points of interest of my dat here.<ul><li><b>Duplicates:</b> I have made an extensive effort to eliminate duplicates in my database; I have opted to choose the "Best" release for any given title. For people who only casually collect and do not follow the scene, I find this to make more sense instead of including multiple entries for the same game, some of which have been nuked. You will generally find only one of each game from each region in here, with exceptions for V1.1s and similar.
</li><li><b>Integrity:</b> I have made a good deal of corrections to the database at ABGX.net, as a result, several games have been added to the database and a few have been recently nuked. I have done a LOT of error checking here. I am fairly confident of the completeness of the dat.
</li><li><b>RiffRaff:</b> Nuked releases, Duplicates, and other undesirables are not in the main database, but are included in alternate versions of the dat. The purpose here is to help identify if your releases are bad. I have dug up 95% of the Nuked releases and duplicates to help you identify if your collection is outdated. The numbers for nuked releases start at 10000, and prefix the title with [NUKE]. This also includes some titles which are not nuked due to technicality but are otherwise superseded or have better versions available.
</li><li><b>WiiWare Only:</b> Wii Channels and other miscellany are not listed here.
</li><li><b>Duplicate Filter</b> Full duplicate ID information (even for nukes) for use with OLL's dupfilter.
</li><li><b>Images:</b> There are a handful of images, but not many. I need assistance with these. If Psykos is willing to donate his to the cause, all the merrier, but otherwise I won't be taking his without permission. There is a public PhotoBucket gallery in which users may contribute screenshots. Please contribute if you're interested in this project; otherwise, screenshots are low on my list of priorities.
</li><li><b>Missing Releases</b>: There are a handful of missing releases still, just as in Psykos' dat. The good news it that with Propers and iNTERNALS, there are no longer any missing releases in the "Good Set". Hooray!
</li><li><b>Updates:</b>: I have been updating generally within 24hours of release, most often as soon as I can get my hands on the release. As the project reaches maturity I expect I'll do updates to the tune of once a week. (Friday/Saturday, after updates from all three regions.)
</li><li><b>DLC:</b> DLC Content is also included; these have (DLC) both as a suffix to the title and in the comment field.
</li><li><b>Language Info:</b> I have filled in Language Info as retrieved from Wikipedia, and NOE, but there is bound to be inaccuracies. Your assistance in reporting language discrepancies would be appreciated; it takes a long time to install all these wads, and I just simply don't have the patience to try each one personally.
</li><li><b>RSS:</b> Just in case you were that anal about your WiiWare that you wanted a mother-lovin' RSS feed for it, I have made one. Each new RSS entry links to the database zip, so you can automate downloading the new dat whenever an upload is published. By request, the description field for each entry also now contains a link to the NFO on Ludibria.</li></ul>Okay, so with those bullet points aside, let's get to the goods:<ul><li><a href="http://crackerscrap.com/dat/wiidat.zip" target="_blank">http://crackerscrap.com/dat/wiidat.zip</a> OfflineList Dat without Nuked titles.</li><li><a href="http://crackerscrap.com/dat/nukdat.zip" target="_blank">http://crackerscrap.com/dat/nukdat.zip</a> OfflineList Dat with Nuked titles.</li><li><a href="http://crackerscrap.com/dat/ww.rss" target="_blank">http://crackerscrap.com/dat/ww.rss</a> RSS Feed of the last 20 releases; the links take you to the standard OfflineList Dat.</li><li><a href="http://crackerscrap.com/dat/wwdat.zip" target="_blank">http://crackerscrap.com/dat/wwdat.zip</a> ClrMamePro Dat without Nuked titles: As I do not use ClrMamePro, this dat is untested, please exercise caution when using it.</li><li><a href="http://crackerscrap.com/dat/wwndat.zip" target="_blank">http://crackerscrap.com/dat/wwndat.zip</a> ClrMamePro Dat with Nuked titles.

OneUp & PLAY-SKiLL - For making my job easier by releasing so many Propers!
Feel free to make requests in this thread. If you think something should be changed, formatted a different way, feel free to ask: I am more than happy to consider your requests. If you would like to see this data in a dat format for another rom manager, by all means: let me know which one you'd like to see this dat in and I will do my best to make it happen! I only ask that after you make a request, you come back to the thread to continue discussion with me if I have any questions about your request. (I can't implement things if I don't know what you want!)
I think that about does it! Please report any errors or inconsistencies, corrections and etcetera in this thread for now, thank you! (And if you are wondering, Yes! I am making a VC dat as well. It is about 90% finished. All CRCs, filesizes, etc have been filled; what remains is to nuke a few releases and complete filling in the Duplicate ID information.)
Updates:
<i><!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo-->
Jul 03: Broke the dat temporarily. You'll have to Re-DL it! It also messed up the RSS feed temporarily, but everything is OK now. There are also two new nukes which affect the numbering scheme. Remember: This dat is BETA and All of WiiWare isn't even dumped, so expect changes!
Jul 04: New Releases, Three new nukes: Onslaught, Pop-Up Pirate and Final Fantasy IV: The After Years (all PAL) have been superseded by OneUp iNTERNALS since no one could find the earlier releases. This brings down the total number of "Missing Releases" to just two!
Jul 05: Three New Releases, One new nuke: Jungle Speed by SUNSHiNE replaced the version by WWR that no one had: We're down to only one missing release! Thanks, SUNSHinE!
Jul 06: Handful of releases, Thanks to OneUp Proper Japanese WiiWare is now at 100% completion. With exception of WW releases today, US and JP are both now at 100% completion. Come on, PAL! I have also renamed the dat by request (So it sorts by "WiiWare" instead of "Nago") and resized the screenshots in-dat. Please contribute images!
Jul 30: I'm still alive! The dat is still current and, All of WiiWare for All Regions has now been dumped. Exciting! I am still working daily on a solution for Virtual Console, but due to how frequently VC is updated as compared to WiiWare, It has taken me a lot longer to get my dat out than I'd like. I made some really excellent progress this week on the bot that watches for VC releases, and I'm hoping to get the VC dat finished as soon as possible! The script just today auto-filled the CRC, fileSize and fileName portions of the dat for over 222 VC entries! So I am making excellent progress, even if it is mostly unseen <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec--></i>
