get game name from binary file

[grayaii]

I have a zip file: avspj.zip
Inside there are 4 files:
avpj.03d
avpj.04d
avpjx.03d
avpjx.04d

Emulation Station knows that this game is called "Aliens vs Predator (Japan)" when I place it in the "arcade" folder.

Is there a way to either:

1. write a script to extract the name from those binary files?
2. find a way on retropie to match name to binary file?

I did "grep -r zip ." in /opt/retropie/configs/all/emulationstation and did not find any gamelist.xml that matched to a zip file.

Basically, I want to identify all games that have the name "Japan" in it and delete them.

This is similar to this post:

@grayaii I think emulationstation displays the name of arcade ROMs because it's hardcoded in this file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/RetroPie/EmulationStation/master/es-app/src/MameNameMap.cpp

AFAIK the binary file doesn't have the "human-friendly" game name in its content.

If you want to manage the MAME ROMs, there are several tools to deal with it (such as ROMLister).
