    More information about "Machtendo No-Intro ROM Parse"

    Posted

    I agree, it does seem arbitrary. I imagine 99% of the games released in either of those countries would have been the European or World releases. Maybe whenever there was a Greece or Netherlands exclusive they were treated as separate minor regions? I'll look back at the No-Intro documentation and try to clarify - I'm completely open to making the change if I've just misinterpreted the naming convention.

    You would think Australia and New Zealand would fall in the "Other" section, but No-Intro is pretty clear about including them with Europe. You and I can look at a map as some average Joe and we can decide what countries belong in which region in a way that makes sense to us. We just have to keep in mind that, as arbitrary as they may be, these decisions were made by video game companies over decades trying to localize and distribute games in the most cost-effective way they could.

    Why are netherlands and greece in the other category and not in europe?

    That's a good question - I seem to remember there being a reason for that due to language, but I can't find anything in No-Intro's documentation. I think I may have based that decision on this snippet from their naming convention documentation (https://wiki.no-intro.org/index.php?title=Naming_Convention#Region):

    "If a game is released in 2 or more European countries the flag (Europe) will be used. The flag (Asia) will be used if the target regions are multiple Asian countries and the game is different from the Japanese release."

    So maybe I should revisit this? It would only apply to games that were exclusive to those two countries specifically, but I do want this script to be as accurate as possible. Mexico is also a North American country, but is it's own minor release region I think due to language. I'm open to suggestions!

    It's a fantastic Script!!! 🤯🥳🙌🤩 Right now I was doing that organization but manually.

    A question. Do you plan to do something similar for other packs like TOSEC or Redump? I understand the complexity of doing it (especially with TOSEC), but I guess dreaming is free... 😄

    Much appreciated!

    Unfortunately, I don't have plans to do TOSEC or Redump at this point - I wouldn't rule it out for the future though. Most of my disk-based stuff is curated, and I just don't have full sets to work with (and probably not even storage, honestly).

    I do plan to work more on this one though - while it seems to work really well, I still find things that I feel like need to be moved, so I add to the script as I go. I'd also like to make it easy to "undo" moves and update sets.

    Great job machjas,

    Would it be possible to upload the covers without effects and frame?

    Claudio

    Thanks! 

    Can do! Let me get everything together and I'll do a separate upload and tag you in it. Let me know when your enhancements are finished and I'll be happy to generate a new set!

    Very nice work as always, @faeran! I knew I wanted this for my setup immediately once I saw it. I can't really say why this is, but the rounded corners on the boxart is such a subtle touch that makes it look so clean! Very much appreciated!
