Not hard at all for me to ensure that the reports use UTF-8...sorta surprised I didn't do it in the first place, and that no one else has mentioned this yet...

I actually asked you about it before in PM's and you said it was trivial

I think aside from the UTF-8 issue the biggest thing would be no longer using the CSV format or at least using quotes around each entry or something aside from commas since any items that have commas in them end up being formatted incorrectly.

For example:  [ACE COMBAT 6],2008/06/25,30,4.00,46,DARK, SHINING SET,874E20BCD6B5A2FAFC1EA424F7D28A8D30D44A7B4E

The title of the item "DARK, SHINING SET" gets split incorrectly due to the comma whereas being

"[ACE COMBAT 6]","2008/06/25","30","4.00","46","DARK, SHINING SET","874E20BCD6B5A2FAFC1EA424F7D28A8D30D44A7B4E"

would be formatted correctly

Yeah, but the number of requests I get are somewhat overwhelming...I probably just lost track of this one.

The problem with just putting everything in double quotes is that as soon as something actually has double quotes in the title, it will also break...  But I'll probably change the format anyway.

[veekay]

That is probably true about the double quotes.  Generally when I have to make anything in a CSV format I actually use | as the divider since nothing really ends up having that character in it - or if nothing else using ; for it.

Currently in beta testing:

Version 2.0d -- Nov 13th, 2010

* Fixed seemingly never ending message boxes that I broke in 2.0c
* Changed format of XBLA and DLC reports to include Utf8, and proper quoting

Hopefully this one goes smoothly so I can release it publicly.

Seems to work great so far - the new report format seems perfect.  

The only thing I noticed was that the DLC_titles.csv was still the old format so it imports just the same with the comma errors.  I'm not sure if that requires too much of a rewrite, but still a huge improvement with the output!

Yeah, I didn't touch the generators yet.  What title gets imported wrong?

[veekay]

Anything with the commas in the title still.  The main thing though is something else I had talked with you about before - since the report does not show titles/DLC that you have no items for it is still needed to import the DLC_titles file so that all the missing files can be seen in a spreadsheet/database.

Anyway for XM360 to display the media ID of GOD games? this would help with finding the correct title update to use

[danthaman673]

Hi node, Thanx again for continuing to develop XM360..


I've been very busy lately (haven't had much time to do app testing etc..)
I have struck a problem (I was wondering if anyone else had xperianced same) with Pinball FX2. It doesn't seem to behave as a normal Arcade game and wont boot once patched (I think the core game is meant to be free and al the 'tables' are sold in DLC packs) It could be something like the game-room situation?? Anyway I was wanting to float this and see what others have encountered (I heard rumors of a new XBLA type that used some sort of checks?? - Probably fiction but you never know ..)

IF in-fact it is just not working because it's already 'free' and the yaris patch somehow ruins the header - Then can we have a way of marking games 'Not To Be Patched' somehow? either GUI or config script. Sorry I didn't post this a couple of weeks ago but I've been on holidays.

I haven't had any problems with Pinball FX2.  And I've played plenty of it. :-)

I don't recall if I've run it through xm360's unlock or not...and I haven't looked at it to see if xm360 would mess it up.  Anyone else able to chime in?

This is a pretty timely bug report (if it ends up being true), since I planned to publicly release 2.0d tonight or tomorrow.  I'd rather deal with issue before that happens.

[veekay]

I can try it tonight, but so far have had no issues with anything else.

Another possibility instead of rewriting the input code would be just having the report output everything, including files that have no DLC for them (Since the current reports don't show titles with no DLC) in the missing section.

[veekay]

Pinball FX2 works fine for me.  I really don't Yaris anything anymore - I just run the unlock in XM360

Yeah, I was referring to how XM360 unlocks XBLA games.

OK, I'll play around with it more, I guess now that I think about it, it could perhaps be due to some form of data corruption somewhere,... Hmm(Although I was sure I covered all the bases ...) Are you guys using patched DLC?? (In a backup capacity of course :-)

I think it's usually under managers and/or STFS


Still havent had time to investigate this pinball FX2 bizo, I have to wait to get the JTAG back off my kids..
