@nakama - If when you added the games to your collection set the items to physical, and gave them appropriate new/used data, then I don't know why they would be turning up as having $0 value across the board like that.
If it was limited to only a certain number of items then it could just be that vgpc wasn't tracking their values, but not if it's affecting your whole collection.

Are you changing anything in specific to "fix" the values? Or just opening up the edit window, hitting save without making any changes, and then the value displays correctly? If the latter, sounds like something @moho_00 might be able to shed more light on as it could be some bug.

@dhobo it seems to work now but it has happened a few times. it is the latter i dont have to change the information for it to fix the games one at a time but after a while it sometimes goes back. it was the entire collection for every game it showed no worth on the game or what i paid but i guess when the server resets or updates it looks to fix that because it currently is showing my estimated value and the vgpc values but ill come back and comment again if it ever pops back up to help with bug tracking this problem in specific

Midway Arcade Treasures (1) for PlayStation 2 - https://www.pricecharting.com/game/playstation-2/midway-arcade-treasures
So, this one is a bit of a weird one. According to Wikipedia, the original release of this game was just called "Midway Arcade Treasures." They then re-released it as "Midway Arcade Treasures 1" to match the "2" and "3" release, but it's the exact same game. Pricecharting doesn't have an entry for the (1) re-release, just the original. Is it possible to just link up the original's price data with the (1) variant?

Yeah, that's a weird one there. The way I have things built, I can't point the same VGPC entry to multiple Completionator entries. It's interesting that VGPC has a separate "1" entry for the GameCube version, but not the PS2. I think there's a way to request games to be added on their side, so that's probably the best (and most accurate) way to do it.

@moho_00 I sent a message to the pricecharting team and they added both the PS2 and Xbox entries for "Midway Arcade Treasures 1." Here are the links:

Cool! We pull in new data every night from VGPC, so once we have the new IDs loaded I'll wire them up.

Dance Dance Revolution Mario Mix Bundle for GameCube - https://www.pricecharting.com/game/gamecube/dance-dance-revolution-mario-mix-bundle
On pricecharting, it is labeled as "Bundle" but on here it is called "Dance Dance Revolution: Mario Mix - Action Pad Set" and is missing pricing data. Not sure if you want to rename the entry, or just link it to the "Bundle" on pricecharting.

I think the Mario Mix bundle is one of those situations where the VGPC entry didn't exist when we propped up our entry on this side...but it should be fixed now!

Final Fantasy VII Remake: Intergrade

Actually, are we not pulling in PS5 price charting data? I can't associate quite a few of them that I have.

PlayStation 5 was not configured for VGPC integration, but it is now. It should start picking things up tonight.

Hello!

I seem to have the same issue as @nakama noted a few posts up. Currently only a few games are showing values but I've put in physical copy and conditions across the board. If I go in to edit the properties and change nothing and hit save, then it shows up. Just seems to be an odd glitch.

Ary and the Secret of Seasons for Xbox One - https://www.pricecharting.com/game/xbox-one/ary-and-the-secret-of-seasons
Not sure if this is a pricing issue or if a new game needs to be added. Aerea Collector’s Edition for PS4 - https://www.pricecharting.com/game/playstation-4/aerea-collector%27s-edition
Aerea is in the database, but I couldn’t get pricing data to show, even typing Collector’s Edition in the Edition field.

I have a question about NES games, specifically the "5 Screw" variants. Does the database have any of them listed under the "Edition" field? For example, I have the 5 Screw Super Mario Bros., but when I type "5 Screw" under the "Edition" field, the price estimate doesn't change. There are several NES games whose values greatly differ depending on whether they are the 3 Screw or 5 Screw variant.

@stufio - I think that's probably another situation where VGPC added the variants in after we had already mapped the games. I went ahead and wired up the "5 Screw" Super Mario Bros. VGPC pricing, but let me know if there are any others you have that we can take care of.

# 320 - Posted on 10/29/2021 19:45:25

I have several. I'm not sure you want to configure all of them, but I noticed that pricecharting has 81 listings in their database if you search "5 Screw" on their website.
I personally have:
Commando
Gradius
Kid Icarus
Kung Fu
Mario Bros.
Spy Hunter
Wizards and Warriors

Those should all be fixed up now! I have an item on my list to go back and wire up the various VGPC entries that were added after our initial mapping (mainly other regions and variants), but it's a big task

@moho_00 - I think we will need to add a release entry with 5 Screw as the edition, along with the VGPC entry. I updated Duck Hunt, and adding the game to my collection with 5 Screw as the edition pulled the default square game image and not the NES box art.
