Issue of scrap game's infomation for no-intro rom
« on: February 14, 2022, 12:38:26 AM »
I am using no-intro console roms for nes, snes, gneies, and
TurboGrafx-16 systems.

Using AM scrap game's infomation of thegamesdb, it is Ok for some. But it can't get year & Manufacturer infomation. I don't know why .

Or I would like to get its by import_extras, but I don't know where to download no-intro xml file. Anyone can help me. Thanks.

I have not used the scraper on thegamesdb I can never seem to get that to work.

However, you have various tools on HS to make your own XML files. I do have a lot of tools on my hard drive, I have just zipped up a few of them, I have not used them for years now, so I cannot say 100% what they do

I am just stripping an 8tb hard drive from my cinema PC to put in my arcade PC, so not all my drives are connected at the moment, but hopefully you find something useful in that lot.

If you are using no-intro roms you could download the HS XML files (http://hyperlist.hyperspin-fe.com/) and convert these to AM files from the command line. This will give you the missing info but not any artwork.
