Web site image scraping (Mame and Mess only) #30

Open motoschifo opened 8 years ago

motoschifo commented 8 years ago

Hi, if needed I can create service pages on my web site to support scraping of images for Mame and Mess games.

This is the detail page: http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/?mame=mslug&lang=en The search algorythm allows you to find games without use exact punctuation, or to include multi-word text using double quotes or even to use rom name. The Mame xml structures (gamelist + softwarelist) are stored and searchable for every version of Mame ever released (i.e. since version 0.1).

The resources can be resized on the fly before that returns data stream. Let me know if interested on that and I can contribute.

PS: Before returning textual data like history, mameinfo, etc. I need to contact authors of these files.
