Unofficial RetroAchievements 1G1R-Compatible DATs and CUEs/GDIs. 12 May 2025

Seems these have been removed from RA?

For RVZ what settings and Dolphin version is being used to build them.  Alternatively is there any possibility to switch to using Nkit2 instead so that the RVZ result is consistently reproducable?  The filesize and hash can change from version to version on Dolphin meaning the same file compressed to RVZ may not match if built with a different version.

The RVZ dat that official games are listed with used Nkit2 to compress.

I use dolphin dafault settings and the latest version at the time of the conversion. I'll have to see how nkit is used but I can only find 1.4. Do you have a link to nkit2 for me? If so, just dm it to me please.

Hey everyone.
 

Recently, I've learned how to do API calls/requests to the RA API server to get a list of all linked hashes for every supported platform and because of that, I'm currently restructuring all the DATs so that it'll be easier for me to add, change and remove linked hashes from the DATs more often and more accurately. As a result, I won't be releasing any updates for the next 1 to 2 months, give or take. Thanks for your patience and support.

Oh wow, that's quite a breakthrough. We will patiently wait!!! 🙂

That's crazy, I tried to do that in the past myself, but I could never get it to work, this will definitely be a huge improvement in ease of use I'm sure.

Awesome news! I’m slowly building an ArkOS rom pack for Anbernic RG353 handhelds like I did for Onion and the Miyoo Mini with your current DATs. I’ll do a final scan at the end with your upcoming version. CHDs for disc systems still require the most work but I know there’s a reason the DATs are for BIN/CUE. 

Really hoping to get the new version. I've built my entire collection using these as the 1G1R baseline (the versions to have) + then adding the missing entries using SabreTools. Also it is great having the supported hacks, patches and translations compatible with RetroAchievements to be queried using RomVault. Many thanks for your hard work.

I’ve embraced the No-Intro naming convention and using gamelist.xml files to clean up how titles are displayed. I also think this should carry over to Hacks, Homebrew, and so on in your DATs for consistency and the importance of version numbers for instance. It makes sense for our file names to match the Supported Game Files on the RetroAchievements site. Hopefully you see it the same way and are already implementing that into your next update. Thanks again for all your work!

Hi supermodio. Usually I add version numbers to hacks and homebrews if there's multiple versions linked but I'm thinking of adding version numbers to all non-retail games. I'll have a further look into it.

I just sorted my whole collection last night, and now there is a new version 😅Thank you so much though!

Discord link appears to be broken
