I have a last question !!

Can I use this kind of XML file for EmulatioStation ?!

<menu>
<game name=”3 Ninjas Kick Back”>
<description>3 Ninjas Kick Back</description>
<cloneof/>
<crc>f2ee11f9</crc>
<manufacturer>Sony Imagesoft</manufacturer>
<year>1994</year>
<genre>Fighter</genre>
</game>
</menu>

Do you know if ES know this tags ?! Because maybe I can use my Hyperspin XML file… What do you think ?!

If you want to compare an XML file to your game folder and finally to have just the games contained in your XML to target roms directory, or create an XML file from a game directory you can use HyperROM2XML (Windows only sorry)

It’s a simple use software, and awfully good .. !!

Thanks a lot.

Thanks you very much for details !!!

I had already watched these videos, it helped me a lot !!
Actually I renamed my images the same name as my games and I get the pictures listed in the XML, but it lacks information !!! it’s a shame when you want to make a finished product !!

It’s sad that the integrated EmulationStation scrapper or MameGenXML does not add games to the XML file, even if it does not repatriate all the info, it should nevertheless listed all roms.

Thank you for all the info, I should be able to get out.

I have built an Hyperspin Cab !! I know the system because it is quite similar to Retropie, and at that time it was already horrible to manage XML !!!

Thanks you Patrick500 and Floob for your all amazing videos !! And sorry for my bad english, i’m French !! ;) Happy New Year

Thanks you, but when I scrap the rom folder, I get out the XML file but I do not have all my games, I’ve only games that have been scraped (by GameDB I think) but the unknow games for source are not added on XML files, I lost a lot of games :(

Is there a way to have the descriptions, with release dates, editors …. etc. and even if the scrap can not have the description, editors..etc for some games, they are anyway listed in the XML file ?!! with tags <desc> <releasedate> empty for example.

Otherwise I have to do everything manually :(

Thanks you

Hello,

Thanks for this script !!! How can I match my Snes folder roms with my image Snes folder to generate an XML file ?!!

Because when I execute the command :

perl mameGenXml.pl -rompath /home/pi/RetroPie/roms/snes -mode console -extension smc > gamelist.xml

The result is the XML file create, but not image path, there is no <image>…</image>

I put the .png file with the rom file in the same folder and I launch the script, but I don’t have images path in the XML file !!

Do you have an idea ?!

Thanks you :)
