In RA - Sega Dreamcast (CHD) - Subset, files are named " Resident Evil 2 (Subset - Bonus) (Disc 1).chd" and "Resident Evil 2 (Subset - Bonus) (Disc 2).chd", but in the "Resident Evil 2 (Subset - Bonus).m3u" file they are named "Resident Evil 2 (Disc 1) (Subset - Bonus).chd" and "Resident Evil 2 (Disc 2) (Subset - Bonus).chd".

I've fixed the DAT and renamed the files. They're updated in GitHub.

July 14

Cool. Will upload update this week. Thanks.

July 11

I've checked the cues hashes with the dats and they're all the same. Are you getting the DATs and CUEs/GDIs from github? Those on github should be 100% correct and fully up to date. I think the files on LB forums are wrong/out of date so I may need to update/correct them. Apologies for that.

July 10

I've checked the latest dats with the latest cues and they seem to have the same hashes.Ruruli Ra Rura (Japan) (En) (v1.0) (Nekozomb).cue

Choujin Heiki Zeroigar (Japan) (En) (v1.0.1) (SamIAm).cue Farland Story FX (Japan) (En) (v2.0) (Djlpap).cue

CHD Converter.bat use this converter with the latest version of chdman (078 at this time) and it should give you the same hashes as in the DAT. Select option A for 3DO.

July 2

Are you launching the cue file or the bin file?

July 2

download and use the CHD converter from here: https://github.com/UltraGodAzgorath/Unofficial-RA-DATs/tree/main/CHD Converter and test 1 or 2 CHDs with RArch and with the CHD DAT.

I used RomVault to match my Sega CD roms to the file hashes in your DAT, but RetroAchievements still doesn't recognize them. Do they have to be CHD to be recognized?

That's strange. They should be compatible in both cue and chd formats. Is your RArch and cores all up to date? Also there are a few of the SCD devjam sets that have been demoted temporarily due to memory issues. Other than that, the games are working my side.

Generally I only add games that are officially linked to my DATs.

At the bottom of all the linked files pages on the RA website, It tells you to "click here" if you want to have a translated version of that game tested and linked.

Are your roms in zip format? and do you have backups enabled? If so, go to the backup directory to see if the roms are there. For CPC, most games are from the cleancpcdb romset and most arcade is from fbneo 1.0.0.3 romset.

@jozekThe GC DAT is RVZ. I discontinued the ISO DAT since LB now detects cheevos on RVZ files. As for DC, Saturn, PSX, PS2 and PSP CHDs, I am still busy working on them and will upload once they're done.

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.

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.

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.

Also,

ArduRogue (World).zip doesn't

seem to match the no-intro file?

The current nointro version doesn't support cheevos.

Thanks. Let me summarize a bit the issue for the group of Apple II games. Only 2 of the 16 games above are not part of the LB database. Others are either wrong game names or the need to solve the issue how to name multi-side games (not multi-disk, but multi-side):

* Not in LB database (2) - Nothing can be done as homebrew et al not well covered. From above, this is Flapple Bird and Space Subtraction

* Dual-side games (7) - LB doesn't pick up "side A", so need to change naming to be better picked up and work with [] for original info to be ignored by LB

* Spelling of the game incorrect (7)

Ok thanks. I'll see what I can do during the month.

January 12

The LB database probably doesnt have a lot of hacks and homebrew games saved in it so it won't pick them up and the names of some of the games dont match up to what is in the lb database either. I'll need to do quite a lot of changes during the month.

January 12

The latter.

The combining feature works for me.

Computer-based platforms like Amstrad CPC, Apple II and NEC PC 8000/8800 are cataloged by neither redump nor no-intro. Different groups catalogue them.

January 10

I'll have to check when I get home. It depends on the Launchbox Database entries on those games.

I did some digging. It seems the ones with cue files and the ones that you tag as "clone of" in the DAT files all show very nice & clean (grouped, metadata, etc.). The multi-disks without a tag / cue show as several entries in LaunchBox?

If you tick this option during import then It'll combine all discs of a multi-disk game into 1 entry. If you untick it, each disk will be it's own entry.

can you teach us how to set these dat files or send us an youtube video with the instructions? I´m newbee in this dat process. Thanks

I'll try to make a tutorial video and add it to the zip download when I can get some free time from work to do it.

Any chance to change the file names for "Black Cauldron" (Apple II) for the next DAT? I'd love to see how it impacts what I am doing with RomVault.

I'll see what I can do.
