Title: Hepburn romanization?
Post by: Leecher on February 29, 2020, 09:24:52 PM

So, I got Twinbee 3 for the NES

thegamesdb.net knows it as "TwinBee 3: Poko Poko Daimaō", so i rename it to "TwinBee 3 Poko Poko Daimaō", attract-mode detects it, but it can't add its flyer, video, and wheel.

I could rename "Daimō" to "Daimou", but thegamesdb.net will no longer recognize it.

What do?

Maybe try "Daimo". Usually when a special character gives problem you fall back to the most similar. Random people won't try apply the most accurate romanization.

Update: I tried a different theme, Hyperpie2, and it supports "ō" for the wheel, but not the snaps and flyer. So, this is a theme issue after all.
