About This File

These are 1G1R (1 Game 1 Rom) DAT files that are used with rom managers such as ClrMamePro and RomVault to scan for RetroAchievements-compatible roms in your collection. There are also CUE and GDI files that are compatible with the DATs. These will be updated beginning of every month and if there's any major issues/problems that need to be fixed that can't wait for the next month, I'll fix and update them ASAP. Please feel free to notify me of any errors/problems you encounter and/or suggestions you may have.

Please note that as of 27/02/2025, I will not be releasing an update for the next 1 to 2 months +- due to restructuring the dats, but once they're all done, I should be able to keep them accurately up to date more often than once a month.

Edited Description


What's New in Version 02 February 2025   See changelog

Released

  • Added all new games released on RA in January 2025.
  • Added new M3U files for multi-disc games. There is a CHD version and a CUE version. Please let me know if there's any errors or missing M3Us.
  • Fixed and updated quite a couple of entries in the DATs.
  • Added and fixed a lot of CUEs. Let me know of any errors or missing CUEs.
  • Renamed all the game entries in the computer-based platforms (Amstrad CPC, Apple II and PC8000/8800) to reflect correct regions wherever possible, although most entries will be under the "World" region as they don't have a specific region like USA or Europe etc. These DATs should be a lot cleaner now when sorting with rom managers. Let me know of any problems with them.
  • Thanks to @BioHazZzard, @MojoJack and @steve1977 for letting me know of any errors or missing DATs/CUEs.

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.

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.
