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.
Ah. I didn't know that. Okay good. Is there a GoodAmiga now then? Last
time I looked there was not many GoodTools for computer systems...
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.
Ah. Indeed, that does cause a problem doesn't it. Maybe some systems are
more useful than others. I am not aware of a more complete (actually
overkill IMHO) Amiga set.
Question: Is there any hard reliance on ADF files for the Amiga portion
of MythGame? I have not had the opportunity to try it out yet, but I

The latest SVN available stuff is very flexible it comes to adding and
defining emulators, including the file extensions that are used. Other

want to call the emulators, the commandline, files extensions, etc etc
Nice! That sounds great. I'm going to set it up properly this weekend :)
