(Should I make a tool to rebuild this table from XML?)

Man I can't belive this old and outdated table has been copied to this wiki. Shouldn't a link to the complete and recently updated Bootgod's database be better ?!?Bregalad 18:35, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

What tool do you recommend for displaying and searching the [http://bootgod.dyndns.org:7777/xml.php NesCartDB XML] offline? I ''could'' make a short Python program that updates this table from the XML; would that be better? --[[User:Tepples|Tepples]] 19:22, 8 June 2011 (UTC)

You got a point. Although even better, the table could be downloaded in txt. I always throught it could be amazing to have the board list when going to a garage sale and you see games you don't remember which board they use (to use them for donnor cart). Now that I have a powerpak, I don't need devcarts anymore though so this is no problem anymore for me, therefore I didn't think about the offline thing. Your tool in Python sounds good but shouldn't it be a bit hard to do ? Well if you feel like it I'm not preventing anyone from doing it.Bregalad 19:50, 8 June 2011 (UTC)
