Inconsistencies with the big dot.

[C. V. Reynolds]

Some games use a big dot in their titles. This character can obviously not be duplicated in file names, so a substitute must be used. The problem is the inconsistency in the character used to simulate this dot. Below are several examples, all containing the same big dot in their box titles, but using different character to represent said dot in the No-Intro database. I hope for No-Intro to choose one of these three methods and eliminate the other two.

=

NES/Famicom (uses comma):

Final Fantasy I, II (Japan)

=

Genesis/Megadrive (uses period):

Spider-Man . Venom - Maximum Carnage (World)
Venom . Spider-Man - Separation Anxiety (USA, Europe)

=

SNES/Super Famicom (uses hyphen):

Spider-Man-Venom - Maximum Carnage (Europe)
Spider-Man-Venom - Maximum Carnage (USA)
Venom-Spider-Man - Separation Anxiety (Europe)
Venom-Spider-Man - Separation Anxiety (USA)

We can't use unicode names? Because if we can, there is a middle dot character (•) we could use.

[ElBarto]

I a perfect world we should use unicode for description (ie name) and ascii for filename.

[Tauwasser]

In a perfect world everybody would use a recent OS that got released within the last ten years and be able to use Unicode just fine, for file names and everything else.

@C. V. Reynolds: Thanks for this suggestion. I will ask to add in this case the "-" in the naming convention.
@Elbarto: DOM database can hold such data.
