I've written some software to catalogue my game collection, and it would make things easier if I had a database that can be searched by barcode. I even wrote a little Android+PC app pair, so I can use my Android phone as a USB barcode scanner. VG Rebirth used to have such a database, but that site seems to have disappeared. Is there anywhere else offering a similar service? I don't like the collectorz.com software, which is why I wrote my own in the first place. Edit: Apparently Amazon can be searched by UPC, looking into that now, but any other info is greatly appreciated!
I did a bit of tinkering, and Amazon's database can indeed be searched by UPC code, using their AWS API. Examples: US Game with UPC code: http://swim.squallstrife.net/sampleItemLookup.php?code=014633070224 JP Game with EAN code: http://swim.squallstrife.net/sampleItemLookup.php?code=4938833000491 EU Game with EAN code: http://swim.squallstrife.net/sampleItemLookup.php?code=4974365632557 All that is required is a free membership to make use of the API like I have here, and there's a decent amount of information available: http://pastebin.com/CU7RAXM9 There are still some gaps, so a purpose-made games database would still be preferable. Any suggestions?
You can search for Sega consoles on http://www.guardiana.net I'm writing a game cataloguer too. For now I can search guardiana and satakore, but the latter does not accept barcode search. I have no idea where to search for other platforms.
That Sega database site looks great. Thanks for that! The search continues for every other brand though...
