titledb alternatives

[mspykerez]

Hey there
Titledb and tinfoil.io has not been updated for months
Is there any alternative that can be used to grab game info?
I suppose having Nsx Library Manager do in itself the job of titledb is not possible?
It's a bummer that this project is highly dependent on titledb being up and running!

Well, title info is grabbed from the actual file (if you provide keys), then is aggregated with titledb, for basic title info this project should work even if titledb is not updated, but you wont get all the extra info like screenshots, description, updates, dlcs and so on. I don't know another project that does what titledb does, if you know some alternative project that does the scraping on a regular basis and provide that data in some way I could write a parser for that. But adding a scrapper in this project to get the data from the algolia server the eshop uses is out of the scope for this project.

Thanks! .. maybe this was documented somewhere but this is a nice thing to know. I assumed I had to update the titledb to scan for newer releases but this isn't the case. Scanning and renaming XCI/NSP files will still work, and I can keep my library somehow uptodate.
