ROMC - Roms and Mame set cleaner

[Guest]

Hello !

 

I'm bsymon, and today let me present to you my little script : romc

 

This a Python script to filter and to clean sets of games (roms or Mame). You can filter the games based on there country, genre, etc. and romc take care to only choose the best dump.

After filtering, romc will create the HyperSpin XML database.

 

There others features, like to generate HyperPause INI file, get a CSV file with the fields you want or find data about the games online (on IGN.com, Jeuvideo.com or Mobygames.com).

 

You can find more informations on the GitHub : https://github.com/bsymon/romc

HyperSpin download page : http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/files/file/9060-romc-roms-mame-set-cleaner/

 

This script is still under developpement, and if you find any bugs or if you have suggestions, make an issues on GitHub or post here !

 

The filtering operations may not be 100% accurate, and somes games can still go through your configuration. I'm working on it, to get the best results as possible !

 

Changelog

does this tool consider parent-clone relationships?

 

e.g. if DB XML contains only a clone, will it still keep the parent rom (which is required in split set)?

 

same question, but for BIOS ?

 

thanks!

For Mame, romc will only keep ONE game in the DB. If the game is splitted into set, romc take set 1.

 

But the script don't move or delete files, except if the genre of the game is in "exclude_cat" and "move_files" is true (games are moved into a folder "_moved").

 

So, is it possible to exclude BIOS from the DB, but they are still in the folder. For that, use "ignore_cat" config option.

This option is only available with JVC API.
