TOSEC support?
-
Hello great work for the RetroPie and all of its success. Also I know you can use Scraper to verify games to show MetaData, ES Info and Box Arts etc. But is it possible at all to allow support for TOSEC? I don't know if TOSEC is slightly better than No-Intro for having the ROMs properly renamed and tagging the important infos like [PAL], [!] as well as like [JP]. I don't see any option for using TOSEC as well as verifying some games that are missing. And yes I use Romcentre for checking ROMs as well for MAME. It just kindae annoying having to rename my ROMs back from No-Intro back into TOSEC in the ES Screen - despite that the File Name remains in the /RetroPie/roms folder.
Also you have my support for RetroPie as well testing it on the popular Pi 3B!

Can you give an example about what kind of support you're thinking of ? Except for Mame ROMs - where some name translation is applied - , I don't think there is explicit support for a particular ROM naming convention in Emulationstation. There is no verification process, only the scraping will rename the ROMs.

Well it appears that TOSEC hasn't quite completed their datfiles for like Game Boy Advance, SNES and some other Nintendo systems, but they still have a huge set of dat files. They even tagged some bad dumps mainly for the Commodore 64 and Amiga as those tapes and disks aren't as robust as those ROM cartridges. Besides we may not know which ROMs are corrupt that can give out a irrevelant bug report to RetroPie as those bad dump ROMs are not wanted.
