I agree....but for the sake of the topic it is important to note that many dat files do not contain any extra information other than gamename & description (usually the same for console roms).

The topic of creating information-rich dat files for console roms and computer images has been discussed many times.  The problem is that it is a mammoth task which no one really wants to tackly...I do not know if anyone has made any progress recently (?)

Howard_Casto:
Yeah I'm not referring to console roms.  The poster was asking about other arcade emus.  Console roms are a whole other bucket of worms and it's best just to let good tools deal with em and make a list based on a directory as there isn't any info anyway.


Actually that isn't true about the extra information.  There aren't many arcade emus left outside of mame and all of them have full dats that contain the manufacturer year ect....  Daphne doesn't have a parent/clone relationship, but that is intentional as daphne doesn't have any clones, only alternate rom sets.  Other than that afaik they all contain full data.

Thanks for the info. I didn't know that.
