Some, I understood, some didn't... Namely:

[!]
[m, m1, m2...]
[o]
[b] - bug?... I don't know

What Do they mean exactly?

[!] = Known Verified Dump
[m] = Modification
[o] = Over Dump
[b] = Bad Dump

Hi,
I think, this SPS release:
I Play - 3-D Soccer (1989)(Simulmondo)[2104]

should be changed to
I Play - 3-D Soccer (1989)(Simulmondo)(M4)[2104]

because there are 4 languages.

Hi,

Here are SPS bugs...

3D Construction Kit (1991)(Domark)[construction kit][1765]
should be
3D Construction Kit (1991)(Domark)[construction kit](M4)[1765]

-there are really 4 languages, tested

should be
Gobliiins v1.1 (1992)(Coktel Vision)(DE)[0065]

-there is no possibility to change language in the game (like in [2487] multilanguage release). The object in the game and text between levels are in german language only!!! Tested



Time Runners 1 - Gateways in Time (1993)(Simulmondo)(M5)[2593]
should be
Time Runners 01 - Gateways in Time (1993)(Simulmondo)(M5)[2593]

-whole "Time Runners" series is signed like 03, 07, 12, 25...etc. That's why 01.



L'Aigle d'Or - Le Retour (1991)(Loriciel)(FR)[2600]
should be
Aigle d'Or, L' - Le Retour (1991)(Loriciel)(FR)[2600]

-moved article L' to the right position



Here, important question for me...

When any game have "En english" and "US english" language options together, so should it be written like 1 or 2 languages?
(By the way, Tosec "Language Flag Possibilities" don't know "En english" or "US english"... just one "English")

The current TNC nomenclature does not distinguish between GB and US english. However, the TNC can also change ...

Hi,
I waited for your confirmation. It's only one normal and logic way. If somewhere would be English, USA, Australian and Irish english, so would be there written M4?..... No. Still one english. Every database uses only one "English". Here are 4 bugs with this problem.

US and GB language problems:

should be

Special language problem:

-there are 3 language options, but it influences keymaps only. The game is in english only. I don't know, if it is the right reason for (M3). It's up to you. You can also look at notes down there, here: http://hol.abime.net/514

Dongles:

I found in SPS list only one game with "dongle note". Namely:
RoboCop 3 (1992)(Ocean)(M3)[dongle][0805]

I think, It's very important note and all others (7x) should be added. I took infos from WinUAE (IO ports/protection dongle) and from EAB thread:

As mentioned in another thread PDX version is probably not fully cracked, they missed probably those checksum check.
It is also mentioned that FLT version is also a bad crack, but i have doubt!?

Sierra Soccer 100% Crack Fix
----------------------------

This removes the checksum which makes the game guru once you reach the
CHALLENGE PROGRESS screens. To get that far you have to win or at least
get second place in the group matches. Once you get there, the checksum
was calculated and while playing it would guru the machine.

Anyway enjoy this game it really is very nice indeed otherwise I wouldn't
have bothered with it.

You know, there exist 4 enhanced Sierra games (the names are shortened for better visibility), namely:

King's Quest 1, Leisure Suit Larry 1, Mixed-Up Mother Goose, Space Quest 1


[1436] King's Quest 1 - is with [SCI remake], SPS says "SCI"

[2838] Leisure Suit Larry 1 - is without note, SPS says "Enhanced"

[2680] Mixed-Up Mother Goose - is with [SCI remake], SPS says "Enhanced"

[2222] Space Quest 1 - is with [SCI remake], SPS says "Enhanced"


I suggest, all 4 games with [Enhanced] or all 4 games with [SCI remake]. (For me is "Enhanced" better, because I think, it's more universal and understandable naming than SCI as "Sierra's Creative Interpreter")

Ok, now I will use your logic and arguments. If you want exact naming acording to Manual, Boxscan, Diskscan etc...
So, the name should be changed to:

adidas CHAMPIONSHIP Tie break (1990)(Ocean)[2637] (as title screen, boxscan, manual, miscshot)

or even better

adidas CHAMPIONSHIP TIE-BREAK (1990)(Ocean)[2637] (as diskscan)


So what, are you satisfied? Do you like it?
I think, It's wrong HoL entry.
