I have that doubt since I have seen that lately they add many umd psp videos as if they were psp games :?:

Same problem with the GBA Video cartridges. I'm not sure if they should be allowed but ultimately is the administrator's call.

Hi, I think the common consensus was no, as video don't really constitute as games, but instead as videos.

however, I dont think we've actively removed any of them as well.

In my opinion UMDs should be removed, this is a game database after all.

Videos and movies fit perfectly into other databases (https://thetvdb.com/, https://www.themoviedb.org/ etc.).

Have UMDs been phased out?

I believe they're a dead medium, but the entries are still available. At a minimum, we should consolidate the duplicates.
We're curious to see how new projects use TGDB API.
If you have a new public project, please provide a link to it so we can highlight cool new applications! 8-)
