How do you edit the gamelist.xml manually?
-
@thelostsoul Yes its a private helper application. i learn coding, and this is my learning projekt.
It´s works for the most. The program is slow from time to time and has a few small errors.
works very well for a learning project. I can send you the program if you want-Features
-XML read write
-check whether files are available.
-ID and Info: opens the Screenscraper page with the ID of the respective game (cover, marquee, video etc)
-Bugs ;)sorry my english is not the best.

Your English is very good actually.
Looking at this I think there may be a few more people interested in your little "learning coding" project.
May be the mods can direct as to a way of getting it out there - with your permission of course. -

but i think most only want the program and not the code -
@Bluescreen I would be interest in the code. The program looks nice and promising.
-
@Bluescreen I guess it is a Windows only app, as you are learning right now. Does it run in Linux? I would want to have a little look at the application and if possible in the code, just curious.

@thelostsoul
It´s a Windows only app. i don't know much around linux.password is: retropie
only the app with 4 test entries for the snes. I can also upload the 20gb (without video and roms) or the full 80gb (without roms)
@Gamesman i can upload the code or the complete projectfile

I wasn't happy, so I made my own tool: https://retropie.org.uk/forum/topic/27466/gamelist-addon-an-assist-tool-to-manually-add-new-game-entries. Unlike the other tools, this is really just to add new games and not a general scraper or editing tool.
@Bluescreen, I had a quick look at the folder structure to see whats inside. Because its interesting. :-) About the 20gb, I am not really interested into the images itself (I suppose thats what the 20gb are).
What test entries do you have and what are you testing? I am absolutely not sure here what to test. -
@thelostsoul open the snes list via my program. the first 4 entries are with game information, cover video and marquee.
to see what it looks likeedit
my tool does exactly the same as yours. the only difference is video marquee and video display. It can't scrape. just edit the gamelist.xml.
I'm glad you programmed one yourself.
-
@Bluescreen Unfortunately I can't test it, because as said before I am on Linux. I tried it on a very old Win10 virtual machine, but it does not work. Probably because of too old libraries.
The tool I have created do not edit in the sense of deleting stuff and it does not show a table. Its really just adding new games only, as this is exactly the only thing I need. -
Just saw this app related to this topic. Its not exactly what I am looking for, just want to link it here: RetroPi Media - gamelist.xml generator
