Database of all GameBase Projects

[Andyman]

The database is updated once again! (See this thread's first post for the zip.) I learned from .mad. that the Sega SG-1000 GameBase was actually updated and merged into his Sega Mark III GameBase, so that means we're down to a mere TWO GameBases with missing download links. How cool is that? Thanks, .mad.!

Aaand down to one:

NICE. Database updated again! Thank you!

I also just discovered that the missing PC Engine Super CD-ROM2 GameBase is on freenit's to-be-uploaded list (https://gb64.com/forum/viewtopic.php?p=32471#p32471), so with any luck, it'll be on Archive.org soon. I've added that information to the database, so technically, we're down to ZERO missing now!

Happy Independence Day to the American folks in the house!

Greetings and thanks.

Thanks for the info! Is this a different GameBase than the CBM/PET GameBase in the database now? I want to make sure I'm listing things correctly.

Yes, they are two diferent gamebases:

U:\GameBase\CBM_PET\CBM_PET.mdb (1.074kb) - (Total 284MB - 3.113 files) v3.0 GameBase by JonBos and .mad (includes 745 games - 742 pictures and 254 extras)

U:\GameBase\CBM Digital Library\CBM Digital Library.mdb (1.156 kb) - (Total 30,9GB - 6.092 files) (includes all books from version 1.0 (06/19/2010) 334 Books - 334 Pictures and 32 Extras)

Greetings and thanks.

Perfect. Thanks for your quick reply! The database is updated once again and the latest version is available in the first post of this thread.

[Andyman]

.mad. has updated the Atari Jaguar GameBase, and so now the database is updated as well! You can grab the latest in the first post of this thread. Thanks, .mad.!

Any new update of the Excel list ?

[Andyman]

There haven't been any GameBase project updates since I last updated the database, unless I missed something. Feel free to correct me if so!

[hardrider]

Okie, good. Updating my DAT sets and try to figure out what are the updates since March 2024 roughly

Thank you for such a convenient table, I would like to add a little from myself.

The torrent, so actively advertised in the table, is almost dead. I have not been able to download anything for the second day, and it contains truly unique assemblies.
In addition, the torrent has many duplicates, perhaps it can be made 2 times smaller, if you try.

I found a lot of things on these links:

Links to these collections no longer work:

• VTech CreatiVision VTech CreatiVision 1.0

Moreover, some (for example Tomy Tutor, Donkey Kong, GamePark 32, MasterGearMania) could not be found in any form at all.

I also note that the table does not contain all the databases. It will take time to check everything, sort through, but off the top of my head I came across something like that.
I will write in the next message if I find such collections.

[Andyman]

I'm stepping back from maintaining the database. If someone else would like to continue it, you have my blessing. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to it, and especially to all the talented and dedicated GameBase creators out there. You all are very much appreciated.

Links to these collections no longer work:

no one is going to seed a 400+GB torrent for several years.
i think it was only ever active for a short while anyway.

My MEGA folder has a 50GB limit.
so the older GB files get deleted and replaced with newer Gamebases when they are made.
only regular vistors to the site will get everything.

As you noticed, some of the more popular GB's Atari 800, GB_C64, Amiga find there way over on Archive. uploaded by fans of the systems.
https://archive.org/download/game-base- ... GameBases/
https://archive.org/details/atari-xl-gamebase-2021

if you make a request for a certain GB you must have.
then someone will probably upload and host it for you, for short while.

but if you have the space to host the files for everyone, i will upload a few for you.

I want to say that I have been preserving gaming heritage for many years.
I have a huge experience in creating gaming databases.
However, they were created for the Russian-speaking segment of the Internet
and therefore it is unlikely that anyone on this site knows about them.

I also collect and structure Dreamcast games, various books and magazines, and much more.

I am interested in gaming databases from a historical point of view.
This is painstaking work, and it is painful to see how some databases simply disappear without a trace.

I have about 600 GB of space in the cloud, but the hosting is Russian-language,
and first I need to check whether residents of other countries will be able to use it.

File example:

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/DMNG/KhZhi7Mx3

Example directory:

https://cloud.mail.ru/public/ePCi/23SMrTk1G

As for the Excel document. It's a great tool, a complete list of all databases, collected in one place.
I found a few inaccuracies in it and plan to fix them.
I would like to implement an online version of it, so that verified database authors could edit it directly, keeping it up to date.

These are difficult times and I don't know how long it will be possible to keep the collection up to date,
but in any case, if there is some kind of checkpoint, then finding the missing collections between it and the present time
will be easier than going in search of something written 15-20 years ago.

Perhaps it would be better to discuss some technical issues in private messages.
