:TITLE:Adding/Editing a Release
:INC:notfinished
:INC:index
:SUB:When to add a release
<p>
A 'release' is a product - either physical or digital - containing (parts of) the
visual novel. This excludes soundtracks, drama CDs, fandisks, and other products
that do not contain the visual novel itself.<br />
All releases should be added seperately. For example, a limited and a regular edition
shouldn't be combined into one release, even if they share the release date and
contents. For commercial games, separate releases can be distinguished by their
JAN/UPC/EAN number.
</p>
:SUB:General info
<dl>
<dt>Type</dt><dd>
Is the release complete, partial or a trial version?
Complete releases have everything.
Partial releases have most of the game, but there are things still waiting
to be released.
Trial versions are heavily cut down and free releases so that you can
experience a game before you buy it. Sometimes, trial versions are cut
down for web transmission and do not completely represent the finished product.<br />
In the case of a translation patch, the type should indicate whether it translates
the full game (Complete), or just parts of it (Partial).
</dd><dt>Patch</dt><dd>
Use this checkbox to indicate that the release is a (translation) patch, used to
patch an other release.
</dd><dt>Title (romaji)</dt><dd>
The name of the release, in the Latin character set (using Romanisation or translation)
</dd><dt>Original title</dt><dd>
If the name is officially under a different title (usually because of different
character sets), put the original title here.
</dd><dt>Language</dt><dd>
What language is this release? Use the language that the majority of the game is in.
</dd><dt>JAN/UPC/EAN</dt><dd>
The <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_Trade_Item_Number">GTIN</a> code
of the product. Often called "JAN" for Japanese releases, "UPC" for USA and Canada
and "EAN" for Europe. The system will automatically detect the type from the code and
use the appropriate term on the release page.
</dd><dt>Official website</dt><dd>
URL of the official homepage for this product.
</dd><dt>Release date</dt><dd>
For commercial games, the sale date.
For all others, the date on which the release was first available.
If it was posted on a website, the date on which the post was public.
</dd><dt>Age rating</dt><dd>
The minimum age rating for the release. On most releases, this is specified on the
packaging or on product web pages.
</dd><dt>Notes</dt><dd>
Anything miscellaneous and useful.
Generally, extras (but not preorder bonuses) and progress information go here.
</dd>
</dl>
:SUB:Platforms & Media
<p>
The platforms that the product was released for. Does not include emulated platforms
(e.g. Playstation 2 games on Playstation 3) or WINE. DVD Player refers to games playable
as a normal DVD Video (DVDPG) and should not be confused with the DVD as a medium.
<br /><br />
The following media can be selected:
</p>
<dl>
<dt>Blu-ray</dt><dd>
Blu-ray Disk, typically 30-60GB+. Requires a Blu-ray Drive. Playstation 3 are
normally Blu-ray.
</dd><dt>CD</dt><dd>
CD-ROM, typically 700MB.
</dd><dt>DVD</dt><dd>
DVD5, typically 4.5GB, or DVD9, typically 9GB. DVDPG games are DVD.
</dd><dt>Floppy</dt><dd>
5 1/4" or 3 3/4", no greater than 1.44MB.
</dd><dt>GD</dt><dd>
Dreamcast games are normally GD disks.
</dd><dt>Internet Download</dt><dd>
Anything without a physical box, i.e. obtained by downloading it over a network.
</dd><dt>Memory Card</dt><dd>
Any SD (Secure Digital) Card variant or MMC variant, Compact Flash or "USB Sticks".
The Main difference between this and Cartridge (below) is that Memory Cards are
re-writable (RW).
</dd><dt>Cartridge</dt><dd>
Compare with Memory Cards (above). Read-only. Famicom (NES), Super Nintendo (SNES),
Game Boy Advanced (GBA) and Nintendo DS use cartridges.
</dd><dt>Nintendo Optical Disk</dt><dd>
Non-CD or DVD optical disks used by various Nintendo consoles.
</dd><dt>Other</dt><dd>
Any format not considered to be any of these mentioned should take this media.
However, it should not be used liberally, and it's inclusion may need to be justified.
</dd><dt>UMD</dt><dd>
Universal Media Disk, typically 2.2GB. Playstation Portable uses this format.
