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)

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)

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)
