System Database

WiiUIdent comes with an option to optionally upload system information to a database. This allows collecting various statistics about Wii U consoles.
After submitting your data, your system information will be added to the database with a System ID, which will be displayed on the console. The database is publicly accessible but personally identifying information will be kept confidential.
The database can be found here!

wiiuident's Issues

Zoomed-in display on CAT-I

On my CAT-I, the display is horribly zoomed in. I thought it might have been related to the TV resolution (which was set to 1280x720), but changing it to 1920x1080 made no difference.

Using a local RPX build with Tiramisu.

Gather title info?

This might not be the main purpose of the tool, but it would be beneficial to preservation if the tool (had the option to) submit which titles are installed to the database, so that unknown and unpreserved titles could be identified. E.g. titles that were removed from the CDN with no trace. It should probably check the title signatures to exclude homebrew/modded titles.

Edit: although it may be better to build this right into Tiramasu/Mocha, since those would have a bigger userbase.

[Request] View original serial number if current one is changed

Hey, I very much appreciate all of the work put into this, but I have one issue: the serial number was changed, and the only way to tell with WiiUIdent is when you send it to the database, the serial number doesnt match the one in the app.
Thanks
