There are a ton of dat files available out there which contain the info in a plaintext format. Of course that info does not include things like softwar make, or year of release. the country can be gleaned from the filename. Even xmame/mess include .hsi files for most game systems out there which have crc -> Good Name info. > Which is more popular I don't know, but at least TOSEC is chang"open". The biggest problem I have no far is that while the tosec data contains more info per game it seems be be missing a lot of games. I took a random sample of 30 roms and could not find matches for 28 of them. And I couldn't find a single PC Engine(tg16) game in their lists. Though I will continue to evaluate it's usefulness. In the end I want something that covers as wide a range as possible and is as "generic" as possible. > Question: Is there any hard reliance on ADF files for the Amiga portion > of MythGame?

Other than the gametype name "Amiga" nothing else is hardcoded. you specify what you want to call the emulators, the commandline, files extensions, etc etc
