[feature request] script can add game information to ES's gamelist.xml #2

Closed meleu closed 6 years ago

@udb23 's feature request:

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.txt exists, extract data and write into gamelist.xml If gamedata.txt does 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)

I'm afraid it's beyond the scope of rpie-art. Then I decided to not add such feature.

@udb23 feel free to argue on how useful it would be and I can reconsider it. ;)

Cheers!

Of course, as many things, it would be nice, but I also understand other tools like xml editors exist to do this.
