A collection of python scripts I wrote for various use cases as well as desktop icons for some retro handhelds.
A simple python script to parse gamelist.xml files and output what tags are missing from each game found.
Usage: python parser.py and type your roms directory e.g. \\RG351P\roms. The script will only scan the first subdirectory, not nested subdirectories. Look for output.txt files in a folder created next to wherever you put parser.py.
Example output file genesis_output.txt:
Dynamite Headdy found with missing tags: image
Shinobi III: Return of the Ninja Master found with missing tags: video
Phantasy Star III: Generations of Doom found with missing tags: video
Landstalker found with missing tags: video
A simple python script to parse gamelist.xml files and sort them alphabetically by the name tag. Creates backups before parsing.
Usage: python sorter.py and type your roms directory e.g. \\RG351P\roms. The script will only scan the first subdirectory, not nested subdirectories.
A tool that scans immediate directories in the roms folder and copies savedata to saves next to savebackup.py. The script copies Dreamcast memory cards (bios/dc) and other emulator savedata .srm and .sav.
The file extensions searched can be modified in the script. Because of the complexity of the roms/ports folder, it is excluded from the scan.
Scans a specified directory for files of a specified file extension. Appends the CRC32 in hexadecimal format to the end of the filename as Filename (CRC32).ext. Especially useful for locating a base rom needed for a romhack or translation patch.
