Feez Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Hey all, i've been creating custom DATs for romcenter/clrmame based on which games are contained in the launchbox DB. Is it possible to create (or does there already exist) a "changelist" so i can see new games that have been added/changed since the last time i looked at the DB? Quote
neil9000 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 The metadata.xml is in your Launchbox/Metadata folder. Quote
Feez Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 (edited) And this contains everything in the launchbox DB? (so theoretically i could audit against it?) EDIT: looks like it does. Do you know of an easy way i could pull entries out of this based on platform? Edited January 17, 2018 by Feez Quote
neil9000 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Correct, and it is updated daily, so if you edit a game or add one the metadata will say it needs updating and will pull down the most recent version. Quote
Feez Posted January 17, 2018 Author Posted January 17, 2018 Aha, so that's what those "updated metadata" prompts do. Any thoughts on my ninja-edit above about parsing the XML? Ideally i'd like to make platform-specific DATs. Quote
neil9000 Posted January 17, 2018 Posted January 17, 2018 Unfortunately not, that's beyond my expertise i'm afraid. Hopefully someone else can chime in and offer you some advice there. Quote
