It seems that nobody try my patch for GAMES, sent 3 weeks ago.

So, i can propose again something for the games :
 - SNES roms identification (Python parser for SNES ROM format)
 - Support for GENERATOR emulator (GENESIS/MEGADRIVE), with ROM
identification (Python parser for GENESIS ROM format)

If you are against the change of the DIR_GAMES structure, i can provide to
you a version with rom identification based on file suffixes, like now.

Regards, Sylvain.
