Allow multiple PLATFORMIDs (to be read from ES_scraper) #117

Closed 4ch1m closed 11 years ago

4ch1m commented 11 years ago

The default "es_systems.cfg" defines PLATFORMID 36 ("Sega Mega Drive") for the "Sega Mega Drive / Genesis" system-entry.

Would it be possible to assign an additional PLATFORMID for that system (18 = Sega Genesis)?

DESCNAME=Sega Mega Drive / Genesis
NAME=megadrive
PATH=/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/megadrive
EXTENSION=.smd .SMD .md .MD .bin .BIN .zip .ZIP .gz .GZ .bz2 .BZ2
COMMAND=dgen -f %ROM%
PLATFORMID=36,18

... and maybe adjust ES_scraper accordingly?! That could possibly help to find better results.

I considered that for the exact same reason. In my opinion, I think thegamesdb should merge these systems, but I doubt they will so I'll try to add it when I have the time.

@elpendor I copy&paste this issue to the repository of ES-scraper, ok? EDIT: Created an issue with exactly the same content as above.

Sorry, I was away for a few days. Yeah, thanks for moving the issue to the proper repo, I suggested 4ch1m the same thing.
