A Suggestion For The Master List

[Wolf]

Could it be changed so that the titles can be rearranged according to any given column.

For example: I want to see the carts listed by NGH number. I click the NGH column and it re-arranges like that.

Cool ideah huh?

Thats a great idea. Unfortunately Im not sure that such a thing is possible in HTML. If it is, tell me an easy way to do it (I use frontpage) and Ill do my best...

I use frontpage too, but couldn't figure out a way.

Too bad I guess.

Easiest way:

Create a page for each "order by", have the column headers be hyperlinks that redirect to each of the different "order by pages."

The better way is to create a database in the back end and populate it with all the data from the masterlist. I have kind of done this, but just for official homecarts. It's in access format, so if you want it, email me. After that you'd create a server connection (ODBC in my case) to the database file, and then use that connection to query the data onto an ASP page. That would get the job done right - such that you wouldn't need to update all the different pages each time a game comes out.

I'm doing it the easy way. So far, I have them done by NGH and Developer. Those are the only ones I see hepful... release dates and meg counts can pretty well be figured out by viewing it through the NGH list. I'll be emailing you a copy of the HTML lists soon, geddon.

Edit: Revisions I made: When listing the developers, I made 2 spelling corrections. I also added NGH 239 to the skipped numbers. I'm not sure if that changes the total number of games you had listed (160) or not, so I left that as is.

question: Should those carts that are made for that video camera thingy be listed as part of the list? I'm not sure if they actually were MVS games... but they looked like it... and I'm pretty sure the board used to play them was a converted MVS.

Thanks for the corrections, I know of a couple more errors in the list that I havent gotten around to fixing yet.

As for the "Neoprint" carts. I actually have a close friend of mine who is getting possession of these carts and is going to run some "tests" on them to see just how much they are compatible with normal MVS/AES machines (yes, the Neoprint MVS machines have added functionality) Depending on the facts as we get them they may or may not be listed. I seriously doubt they have NGH numbers , but hey I could be wrong.

Major props to Forever Sublime for getting this idea underway. Its something I always wanted to do, but my HTML skills are primitive to say the least.

Done and Done. I sorted it out by meg count as well.

John, I resent the pages in attachment form.

We'll see about the neoprint items. A member here had them for sale on ebay last month... some 15 odd carts. I wonder if that was the complete set.
