Just wondering if it would be possible to add the ability to search by title ID? For example &id=18 would bring up Bankshot Billiards 2?
Thanks, |

oh and i didnt forget, im going to give this a look today, unless something crazy comes up.
Thanks for the info. I thought that's how it would work but just wanted to make sure. I knew you did not forget about me :) and if you did just lie about it... haha :) |

I would lean towards the older number in the case of a name change... Would be more compatible with other systems pulling data hopefully and less data to convert. |

Thanks again Squid!
I am assuming the game IDs are always the same and are not dynamic? Correct? |

Just to clarify. I want to to a reverse lookup, so instead of pulling up a game by title from that web service you can have the ability to pull it up via the ID.
The only current way I can do this is process the whole game list and then find that ID. It creates a huge draw on 360V to pull the whole list of games when you really do not have too. Also it saves a ton of processing on my end.
EDIT...
Also if someone could add that, when about could that be done? I am at a point in my code I need that (or I am going to have to do what I stated above and pull the whole list).
I never mean to be pushy (if I am just tell me to shut up or something and I will). I understand how busy you all are and understand if it is something you just can't do right now.
I am just wondering so I know what to do.
Thanks! |
