MAWS is no longer available, perhaps a different scraper could be used instead? 
 Or maybe it could read the xml dump of the games and build from that?

There already is a way to import the games with offline scrapers. See here:

Yes but the information provided is for an old version of mame, 139 i think, 
where as the new version is up to 142 or higher.  I wish maws would just come 
back online. :D

Sorry for not responding earlier. I am not sure why it would be important to be 
up to date with the MAME versions. Do the CRC values of the games change from 
time to time?

While I wrote this about the crc values, it came to my mind that the current 
parser does not even use the crc values. It uses the rom names. Afaik they are 
unique in MAME and should be stable even with new release of MAME. Right?

Will there ever be a scrapper for MAME? The offline one is great, just have to 
spin up a VM to get the artwork (which I'm hoping is not a crap load of data to 
have on git, other wise ill host it myself). I am fine as well with just the 
description too from the offline scrapper.

Not in the near future I am afraid. I know there are some sites around that 
provide this information but I don't have the time to implement new scrapers 
atm. Sorry.

Oh OK no problem. I have this working minus the artwork. That's good enough for 
me. You van close this ticket. Thanks
