missing name in rdb files #1165

Open jbdemonte opened 3 years ago

jbdemonte commented 3 years ago

Some entries in the rdb file does not contains any name, I'm wondering if this is a failed or if its "wanted as it" (I don't get how it can be useful to have just a CRC for example)

Example: Atari - Jaguar.rdb Its last entry only contains : { developer: '', publisher: '', crc: 0x40e1a1d0 }

Scanning the whole file list, I found 592 entries without a name property:

Coleco - ColecoVision.rdb: 86

Is it "normal"? is there somewhere a kinda spec for the entries consistency?
