Website to browse game collection

[soveryvaried]

I recently set up my first RetroPie and have started loading roms onto it. Everything is working great, but I have a question about a possible add-on. Is there any add-on that will generate a webpage with a list of all the roms on your system? This would be useful so friends could browse it from their phone while someone else is playing on the RetroPie.

I've searched the forum and google, but couldn't find anything that did this. I've installed the RetroPie Manager but this gives friends too much power to mess things up. I'd be happy with just a simple list of games/roms. Thanks in advance for the help.

@soveryvaried I haven't heard of anything like that but I imagine you'd just have a program that could read your gamelist.xml files and list them in a more graphical manner. Even something basic that can parse the gamelist and organize it onto a Google spreadsheet. That's basically the way the website logicalincrements.com works.

Any decent webdev could do it.

Could be done from command line via xsltproc and an xslt stylesheet probably.

Assuming your games are all included in your gamelist.xml files.

But desktop apps like excel can import XML so if you have no scripting experience you could import the gamelists into a spreadsheet and export to an HTML table.

Thanks for the help. I thought I might have to build something. Looks like I need to update my rusty coding skills lol

You could adapt my Excel export script to output HTML instead of XLS.
