recalbox-gamelists

Emulationstation gamelists and images for recalbox.

This repository regroups gamelists and images for emulationstation systems in recalbox.

Rom names are based on "NO-INTRO" sets, that are very clean sets for many systems.

From the website of no-intro :

What "No-Intro" does is fill some .dat files, to be used with ROM-Managers, with information about the known ROMS released. Often there are more versions of the same ROM dump, but most of them are garbage, some examples may include: bad dumps, hacks, fakes, overdumps, underdumps, and so on. "No-Intro" lists only the best available ROM; it must be a full dump with no faults and no changes to the file, basically just the ROMS that are the closest as possible to the original licensed cartridges.

See http://www.no-intro.org/ for more informations on their game database.

If you want to contribute, here is the procedure :

  • Only use No-Intro data files.
  • First, use the special scrapper at https://github.com/digitalLumberjack/scraper, it bases the scrape on games checksums, so you'll have no errors in scraped games.
  • Then use babou's https://github.com/bbouko/Recalbox-scraper to scrape remaining games basing search on file names.
  • If you add custom image, the maximum width should be 375px and the maximum height should be 350px.
  • Create a pull request with the modified gamelists and images.

The special scrapper automatically resize scrapped image to the good size. It also add the region tag with corresponding region in xml data. A romtype tag is added too, with a default value set to Official if the title do not contains the string (Proto).
