Script feature to add game information to ES's gamelist.xml #21

Closed UDb23 closed 7 years ago

UDb23 commented 7 years ago

Info.txt may include specific line to add corresponding game data to gamelist.xml. addgamedata = yes If this line is found in info.txt, script should check if in same folder a gamedata.txt exists. If gamedata.txtexists, extract data and write into gamelist.xml If gamedata.txtdoes NOT exist, pull data from global game data file (includes all .78 roms; I can provide this file in the Repo in whatever structure/format needed; current file available here) and write into gamelist.xml

gamedata.txt would allow people to create their own game data (or translated version for local language).

Game data basically means game name and description (<desc> in gamelist.xml)
