::Besides, I just noticed something interesting and efficient, if a game is Action-RPG just declare Action and RPG for its genre, so we don't need the discrete <i>Action role-playing game</i> genre like Wikipedia does.

:Ah... It's not just about renaming Arcade (platform) into Arcade, I also need to change a template for this and I also need to update (edit/save) each 'Platform' game as they now should be filed under 'Action' category. Alright, sure, I'll do the first changes but save/edit for those ~9 titles ([[:Category:Arcade]]) is up to you! --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] 10:51, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
::Now I'm done. I found it eventually just only simply edit and save to categorize platform game from Arcade to Action, nothing need to change. Every genre's fine, that's all for now for genres. '''--[[User:Pcsx2fan|Pcsx2fan]] 13:25, 23 February 2011 (UTC)''' | |||
== About description of CRC in the main page == | |||
I saw the CRC related line in the main page | |||
<b><pre>ELF (cdrom0:\SLPS_259.15;1) CRC=0x0A70CB4C, EntryPoint=0x00100008</pre></b> | |||
indeed the real CRC is the string after '''0x''', e.g. from the line above the real CRC is '''0A70CB4C''', thus 0A70CB4C.pnach for cheat. '''0x''' is added in 0.9.7, 0.9.6 simply shows real CRC in its dos window e.g. '''CRC = 0A70CB4C''' | |||
I noticed editor input the CRC with 0x into game article [[Yakuza]], this is wrong there 0x388F687B in that article won't work for cheat if use 0x388F687B.pnach | |||
You should say something in the main page [[Help! How to contribute guide]] to clarify real CRC is the string after '''0x''' in 0.9.7 '''--[[User:Pcsx2fan|Pcsx2fan]] 13:54, 23 February 2011 (UTC)''' | |||
:Agreed as always, but why don't you just change it yourself? It's not protected in any way. I can change it for you, alright, but the main thing that makes a wiki a wiki is that you can correct anything you don't like without asking anybody. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] 19:30, 23 February 2011 (UTC) | |||
::You are right I'll do it myself. It's the first time I'm being a Wikipedian, I have vague concept of wiki... '''--[[User:Pcsx2fan|Pcsx2fan]] 02:12, 24 February 2011 (UTC)''' | |||
== Adding game category == | |||
I'd like to add Stealth to the game genere list, according to: http://wiki.pcsx2.net/index.php/Help!_How_to_contribute_guide, the current game categories are: (Action, Adventure, Arcade, Compilation, Casual, Fighting, Horror, MMO, Minigames, Shooter, Sports, Racing, Remake, RPG, RTS are currently defined, please propose more on the talk page. It might be usefull for games like Tenchu and Splinter Cell. | |||

: Hi! I guess we can do that. I just wanted to avoid to overly increase their number, but, oh, well... I guess I'd also separate platformer and action and may be add simulation genre while at it. What do you think? --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 16:49, 21 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
:: If the idea is to keep the category numbers from growing too much (which is a good idea), I don't think the quantity of games that can be tagged as stealth, justify a new genere. Take a look a this link: [http://www.metacritic.com/browse/games/genre/date/platformer/ps2?view=detailed Metacritic], and note the number of platformers and simulation games. If we can sacrifice a bit of precission to keep the wiki clean, then we might not need to add new generes. If adding new generes is not gonna cause any trouble, then I think its ok, but I'd like to see what others think. | |||
::By the way I 've made a question on the forum, perhaps you can take a look when possible: [http://forums.pcsx2.net/Thread-PCSX2-Wiki-collaboration-thread?page=8]. Thanks for your time. [[User:DoctorMuerte|DoctorMuerte]] ([[User talk:DoctorMuerte|talk]]) 17:12, 21 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
:Action and platformer in one genre was not a good decision from the start. So I think I'll correct at least this oversight. Other than that, let's wait for anyone to voice his/her opinion on this. --[[User:Ngng|Ngng]] ([[User talk:Ngng|talk]]) 18:08, 21 November 2014 (UTC) | |||
