GameDB: NTSC-J Overhaul

[maekawa-mugi]

Description of Changes

• Fixed typo/wrong name/name-sort/name-en.
• Replaced full-width tilde (U+FF5E) with wave dash (U+301C).
• Removed VW067-J1 since it is a mere number for catalog purpose but not game ID.
• According to SCE's internal title database (mentioned in PS3 compatibility list):
  • Preffixed some suffixed "low-cost edition" suffix.
  • Replaced "PS2 the Best" with "PlayStation 2 the Best".

Rationale behind Changes

More accurate name/name-sort/name-en.

Please don't remove any Romaji, they should be put in a seperate line as name-en:

PAPX-90236:
  name: "Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy"
  name: みんな大好き塊魂 体験版
  name-sort: みんなだいすきかたまりだましい たいけんばん

Into

PAPX-90236:
  name: みんな大好き塊魂 体験版
  name-sort: みんなだいすきかたまりだましい たいけんばん
  name-en: "Minna Daisuki Katamari Damacy"

And dozens of others like fantavision, DVD Player, Saru Get You, ...

Also

  name: "dot hack - Quarantine Part 4"
  name: ".hack Quarantine Part 4"

Maybe better fitted to change the name sort instead.

So that's it improves the GameDB for all players and not just Japanese-only readers. Still good job, GameDB can be a pain in the arse.

What do you mean of "Please don't remove any Romaji"?
I thought that the correct title was not entered, but the incorrect English title was entered.

[RedDevilus]

SLPM-74003:
  name: クラッシュ・バンディクー4 さくれつ!魔神パワー PS2 the Best
  name-sort: くらっしゅ・ばんでぃくー4 さくれつ!まじんぱわー PS2 the Best
  name-en: "Crash Bandicoot 4 - Sakuretsu! Majin Power! [PS2 The Best]"
  region: "NTSC-J"

The above is already inside GameDB and how it should be formatted.

vs some of your changes:

  PAPX-90236:
  name: みんな大好き塊魂 体験版
  name-sort: みんなだいすきかたまりだましい たいけんばん
  region: "NTSC-J"

  PAPX-90330:
  name: "サルゲッチュ2 ウッキーウッキーディスク"
  name-sort: さるげっちゅ2 うっきーうっきーでぃすく
  region: "NTSC-J"

So if people pick the option prefer English Titles, they can see everything in the Roman Alphabet and also not overlook missing gamefixes now or future changes to same titles in future.

I was accidentally overwritten name-en during editing. Correcting...

[refractionpcsx2]

I only had a cursory look, since I don't speak japanese, but two things I noticed.

1. regarding the .hack games, we named them as such to remove reserved characters from the names, because the names in there also serve as filenames for covers. See here GameDB: Use proper names for .hack// titles #10475
2. Why did you remove the "Simple 2000 series" parts from those titles? they are still part of those titles, as they are part of that series.
   As for the Japanese modifications I can't comment. maybe @TellowKrinkle and @knight-ryu12 could give it a look.

BTW you can update a PR by force-pushing to the branch it's based on (git push --force if you use git command line) instead of closing the PR and opening a new one @maekawa-mugi

[TellowKrinkle]

Or if you can't do that in your git client, add the necessary commits on top and ask one of us to do the force push before merging

[TellowKrinkle]

@maekawa-mugi .hack should be fine, you can fix them all: #10780 (comment)

[maekawa-mugi]

Stopped due to computer and health failure

[TellowKrinkle]

Is it okay with you if I continue these changes on my own PR?

[maekawa-mugi]

Simple prefix deletion was reverted.

[maekawa-mugi]

trailing space removed

[TellowKrinkle]

Thanks for doing all this
