    MAME Software Lists Import Tool - plugin

    in Third-Party Applications and Plugins (Released)

    Thank you!  After 3 years, I have no plans of adding new features.  But that's only because I haven't thought about it, and no one's suggested any recently. ;) The original intent of the plugin was to simply provide a means of getting MAME's softlists into LaunchBox using their proper game titles and pointing LB to the ROMs.  It has expanded beyond that to working with CHDs, accommodating ROM updating and even auditing your currently imports set.  Maybe even some other stuff I've forgotten about. lol

    As with all my plugins, I am ALWAYS open to suggestions and ideas.  I would like to hear what you have. :) 

    Well I have suggestions:

    • Have the option to import other information such as developer and release date.
    • An option to choose which console is equivalent in Launchbox (eg "Atari 2600 cartridges" and "Atari 2600 cassettes" can be imported as different platforms but both marked in Launchbox as Atari 2600, thus making it easier to search for images).
    • An option to, when importing clones as separate games, create a custom Launchbox attribute "cloneof" containing the name of the original game (would help create playlists and filters).
    • An option to automatically mark as broken when importing games that are not supported (it would help to filter by so that, for example, in Launchbox it appears for editing and monitor when it starts working, but in BigBox when using it to play, it does not appear).

    I understand. Never said anything about difficult just mentioning that Skraper is notorious for corrupting LB xml files.

    If you have already developed part of it than you could always offer it as a plug-in for LB.

    I plan to do that when it's finished.

    Probably slim change it would happen. That program is known to corrupt LB xml files.

    Native integration with the screenscraper.com website is not difficult, I have already developed part of it myself.
