      • Full compatibility with Linux (see README.md on to use it on Linux as this release is Windows only)
      • Full debug of the conversion of the whole collection (this doesn't mean that everything will work, just that is properly converted without errors)

      • Added support for Retrobat
      • Added preliminary support for MiSTeR, works but buggy at the moment. Documentation will come later

                    Thanks for the tool and the heavy-lifting, @Voljega . Works nicely on Linux.

                    I am using it from a retropie perspective, so I was wondering why gamelist.xml gets generated. For me I see the gamelist.xml as something generated by RetroPie's (IMHO defacto standard) SkyScraper. For use with SkyScraper it would be more elegant to use the import feature of SkyScraper.

                    I am not demanding implementation towards SkyScraper, I just want to understand the rationale behind your implementation. Then I might file a PR.

                    Thanks.

                      @Voljega Any plans to support the new Dosbox Pure core?

                          @Rion no I don't plan to support dosbox pure, from what I gather among olds dos scenesters, the guy behind it doesn't know much about dos
                          and from what I can read in his documentation dosbox pure doesn't make much sense (i.e. will work with the most simple games configuration wise and that's it)
                          and it's seems utterly complicated only to avoid to have to use a dosbox.bat and dosbox.cfg, which my tool generates so ...
                          But I guess we can talk about that elsewhere ;)

                          @Lolonois sorry haven't been there in a reaaally long time !
                          so in fact is I don't use retropie ahah and I wasn't aware gamelist.xml was not used (directly ?) anymore ?
                          and I don't know anything about skyscrapper ...
                          but feel free to file a PR or an issue if you want and we'll have a look at it

                            so big release this time, and going toward the first official version :

                            https://github.com/Voljega/ExoDOSConverter/releases/tag/0.9-beta

                            Changelog:

                            • Add full support for eXoWin3x for most generation types (but not MiSTeR or maybe it needs to be tested, most likely doesn't work)
                            • Add support for eXoDOS updates (done through Launchbox or the update.bat script)
                            • Automatic detection of which collection is used
                            • Better fixed game shortnames for MiSTeR using names from eXoDOS
                            • Full rework of the image cache system to be more stable, more quick, and OS agnostic
                            • Lots of fixes

                              @rion have you done any testing? I have been able to run a couple dozen exo game .zip files directly from exo without modifications in dosbox pure. It does appear to be as simple as placing the zip files into a directory.

                                  All known bugs have been fixed.
                                  Next version should be the stable 1.0 one, so I'm counting on fellow users to reports remaining bugs or enhancements before that

                                  Changelog :

                                  • updates and enhancements for MiSTeR
                                  • clean and simplify genre mapping logic (thanks @Newsdee)
                                  • full rework of mapping
                                  • use keyb2joypad project mapping when available (only for Batocera at the moment, will add other distributions on demand)
                                  • Fix EmuELEC generation
