      @UDb23 Case Sensitivity will not be an issue. I decided to make things easy and I just Bulk Renamed every file to all uppercase filenames and extensions. I haven't done that to the Atari systems that I've already made gamelist.xml files for already, but I'm sure I will once this program is working.

      Any luck ironing out any of those issues I found earlier?

      I don't know how hard it would be to do, but I was hoping that there could be a function in the program that would scan the roms directory and the sub-folders for the file match when it creates the line for where the rom exists. Every system I have comes with sub-folders that separate official titles from all sorts of hacks, translations, prototypes, homebrew and other categories. Putting them all in one folder would be a mess of a romlist that nobody would want to play, and having to go in and manually change almost 10,000 entries over all of the systems by hand would largely defeat the purpose of this program.

        @Used2BeRX Just published new version of MetaX (.05). It's available in the same folder as previous.
        Changes:

        • Filename issues fixed (filenames for xml were based on game name inside the txt; now uses same filename as txt)

        • Genre issue fixed; is now detected and saved correctly

        • marquee tag added

        Next steps (coming soon):

        • custom media path (can be set by user)

        • convert all files in directory

        • create global gamelist.xml (converting all txt in folder)

        Your last request, to scan if actual rom exists and create xml only for those found, makes sense of course.
        The problem is related to names of the roms the user has; if they do not match exactly with the game names in the TXTs the "scan engine" would not find them correctly. Unless you're telling me that for these old console we can be almost sure roms have "standardized" names.

        Maybe @meleu can support us in this matter. He has written many really helpful scripts for retropie, including the installer for the overlays and game art.

        @meleu : what about adding a specific line in the info.txt like meta="mymetadata.xml" and providing the xml for that rom with complete metadata/tags generated with MetaX and @Used2BeRX txt data ?
        Would it then be possible for the your script to add (or replace) the game tags of that .xml into the gamelist.xml ?

          @UDb23 Nice. I'll download it and re-test the *.txt files I tested last time and see if I get any errors this time. I won't test more than that for now and we'll just have to see if we get any other errors popping up when we start doing the global gamelist.xml.

          I can say for sure that at least with my sets the names of the roms and the synopsis.txt and any Xtras will be identical. I'm working on re-casing everything right now and I just got a new version of FlashFXP that has a function to compare file names and hide exact matches so I will be able to see if anything is not matching after the re-casing and fix those as well. My sets will be 100% match, that you can be sure of.

          If meleu has a way to do this where it doesn't have to be as perfect, that's great. It would allow people to not have to be so anal about doing things with their own sets. This is going to be a great tool, and that would make it more universal for other people.

          I will also get together an exact layout of my media structure for you to look over so you can see where media is going to be. It's going to be long as hell, so I'll put it in a "code window" here and you can copy and paste it into Notepad to see the structure for yourself.

            A Nightmare On Elm Street.txt
            Abadox.txt

            I'm going to put any potential errors I see in the original text files underneath each game here for you to look at and decide if you think that's the problem.

            Atari7800:
            Centipede.txt
            Genre: Arcade - Shooter - Fixed
            Players: 1 or 2 VS; CO-OP
            "Hints:" in <desc>

            FailSafe.txt
            Genre: Action, Tank

            • There are ', /, -, :, ., ! , " characters in the <desc> on this file. I won't list this as an issue for any other files, but it should be expected that these characters will show up in the descriptions of a lot of other games in case they're currently a problem.

            Fatal Run.txt
            Genre: Racing - Cars

            • along with special characters in <desc> mentioned above, this one has "#" in it as well.

            Meltdown.txt
            Controller: XG-1 Lightgun

            Ms Pac-Man.txt
            [First line title]: Ms. Pac-Man
            Numbers "X." in <desc>

            Pac-Man Collection.txt
            [First line title]: Pac-Man Collection!

            Tower Toppler.txt
            Possibly one or more of the special characters mentioned above in <desc>.

            NES:
            10-Yard Fight.txt
            Genre: Sports - Football
            Special Characters in <desc>?

            1942.txt
            Genre: Shoot 'em Up - Vertical
            Players: 1 or 2 CO-OP
            Special Characters in <desc>?

            1943.txt
            Genre: Shoot 'em Up - Vertical
            Players: 1 or 2 CO-OP
            Special Characters in <desc>?

            720.txt
            Genre: Sports - X-Games
            Special Characters in <desc>?

            75 Bingo.txt
            Region: Unlicensed (Asia)
            Special Characters in <desc>?

            8 Eyes.txt
            Players: 1 or 2 CO-OP
            Special Characters in <desc>? There is also "+" and "=" in this one.

            A Boy and His Blob.txt
            [First line title]: A Boy and His Blob: Trouble on Blobolonia
            Special Characters in <desc>? There is also "(" and ")" in this one.

            A Nightmare On Elm Street.txt
            Players: 1 to 4 CO-OP
            Special Characters in <desc>?

            Abadox.txt
            Genre: Shoot 'em Up - Horizontal
            Special Characters in <desc>?

            Knocked out about half of the errors with this fix. Hopefully the stuff I pointed out will take care of the rest of them?

            I'll get to work on getting the file system put together for you.

              @Used2BeRX Huh! I thought no more errors; sorry.
              I will check those files one by one. I don't it's some strange characters this time.
              More likely these txt have something different compared with usual file structure.
              The program looks for the single tags and if found takes the value. Description is identified by being after the "------" at the end of the file.
              Maybe I have to adjust these rules to parse these txt that create errors.
              Will check tomorrow.

                @UDb23 No worries. That's what I'm here for. :)

                I got the file structure for you. I don't think it's really very useful to you since we're trying to make a "Universal-Type" program here, but I thought it would give you a good idea of what somebody with full sets might be working with, and it would also really illustrate how important the ability to have the program figure out where the roms will be is going to be for me.

                    @UDb23 No problem.

                    I'm pretty much set with the low-def artwork for the Pi-zero setup to try all this out with. I've re-cased everything and verified all the names match and everything is on the Pi now. I've got a few things here and there I need to fix up, but it will all be set up by the time you have the next update so we can really start testing this out.

                      @UDb23 hey bro! Sorry, I didn't get exactly what this thread is about (ok, something related with gamelist.xml). Is it related with rpie-art?

                      If you want to make convertions like that on the OP (from txt to xml) I can help with it. But I'm not sure if changing user's gamelist.xml is something to be expected from a tool designed to install art.

                        @meleu : @Used2BeRX has a huge collection of txt files containing games metadata he made in the past, and also related media (box-art etc). He asked support to convert these txt files to ES compatible xml format in WIndows.
                        I made a small Program to do the conversion and it's almost ok.

                        Now he'd like to automate the install of metadata and media only for the roms a user actually has installed. Basically like scraping roms using local metadata and media instead of online. Any suggestions ?

                          Try to guess... Yes, shell script. :-)

                          It seems to be easy to implement. The most challenging part will be the ROM filename matching (same with our rpie-art).

                          I can help with it. I'll try to take a look into it on Wednesday.

                            Meanwhile I'll fix a few bugs in the conversion Program.

                              @UDb23 The conversion to xml is really simple and straightforward to do via shell script, a few lines of sed tricks and, voilá, xml ready! If you guys really need to do it on windows, maybe it's time to know the cygwin. ;-)

                              About the scraper, did he ( @Used2BeRX ) put the txt/xml files in some repo?

                              A quick reading through the posts in this thread makes me believe that the files are at some of those web servers that don't allow downloads directly from command line.

                              @Used2BeRX putting your files in github really increases the chances to other people contribute with your hardwork and use it. If you don't know how it works, consider to learn at least the basics.

                              I see three pros:

                              1. The txt files seems to be human readable, then anyone would be able to contribute.

                              2. Users could download files directly from the command line (pi users love this feature).

                              3. Your work would be easily accessible (a friendly URL, not those random chars of those dropbox-like web servers you're using).

                              P.S.: I reread my post and maybe I'm sounding like a smartass. Sorry, this is not my intention. :-)

                              Cheers.

                                @meleu you're not sounding like that; don't worry. ;-)
                                About the program I already made it in Visual Studio 2017 (vb); you won't believe it but Microsoft gives the community edition for free!
                                These text files are not all structured in the same way so there still are a few fixes to be done to parse them correctly. No Problem on this side; it's fun to me to re-start some coding in visual basic after so many years. Working on a real project is far better then just studying; and vb has changed a lot over the years.

                                  Actually, although that might not be a bad idea for future usability for other people without my setup, that's not exactly what I was asking. (And I noticed another issue while putting together this example):

                                  When the program reads "1ST ULTIMATE SUPER MARIO BROS.TXT", I'd like to see it be able to recognize what sub folder the rom "1ST ULTIMATE SUPER MARIO BROS.ZIP" is in and add that path to the <path></path> tag, instead of just putting "./" before the file name.

                                  For this example, using the table I had posted above, this line should read as:

                                  <path>/home/pi/RetroPie/roms/nes/(3) Unlicensed - Homebrew/(3_10) Super Mario Bros Updates/1ST ULTIMATE SUPER MARIO BROS.ZIP</path>

                                  (I think ./(3) Unlicensed - Homebrew/(3_10) Super Mario Bros Updates/1ST ULTIMATE SUPER MARIO BROS.ZIP would be the same thing???)

                                  Right now this is how it's reading:

                                  <path>./Frank's First Ultimate Super Mario Bros..zip</path>

                                  No path, but the other problem I noticed is that it's taking the altered game name instead of using the rom file name. In this example that means the file name is incorrect and the Case is wrong because the case of the TXT file and ZIP file and all Xtras will be all Caps "XXXXXX.XXX"

                                  Hope that clears up the confusion. I also hope it can be done. That's the 10,000 or so lines that I would be forced to do by hand that I mentioned before if we can't do this.

                                    @meleu At this point I'm really only concerned with getting everything up and running right with good gamelist.xml files that aren't going to take me a year or two to write by hand.

                                    I plan on sharing the work at that point, but I don't have any interest in putting all of that work into re-hosting stuff here. It's easily over 100,000 files, and once videos are thrown in the mix it's a giant collection that I doubt would fit anywhere here.

                                    I think I mentioned to Herb Fergus that I'm alright with somebody else putting it all up as long as credit is given to the team behind the work. That would all be in a readme when a release comes out.

                                      @Used2BeRX OK man. As the Overlay Master requested, I'll write the scraper. I just need to know where the xml files are supposed to be placed.

                                        @meleu if I'm the overlay master then you're the Script Grand Master ;-).
                                        @Used2BeRX ok, misunderstood original request. Now clear.

                                          I modified the program: now the exact TXT filename (with .zip extension) will be used for the <path> tag.
                                          So if TXT filename corresponds to ROM filename (case included) the xml will inlcude the correct name for the rom file.

                                          Actual path were the ROM resides will then be found by @meleu 's new script, that will also automagically modify the path tag in the .xml accordingly.

                                            @Used2BeRX New version (06) uploaded.

                                            • No more errors (as far as I could check) with txt files import.
                                              Error was due to max number of lines limit I used (was not expecting that long descriptions). Now basically unlimited.
                                            • ROM name exactly as txt filename (as mentioned previously)
                                            • "convert all" checkbox allows to convert all txt files in folder (tested on 7800 TXTs, converted 90 files without any issue).

                                            Next to be implemented:

                                            • implement all items/tags you requested (not yet finalized)
                                            • custom media path (can be set by user)
                                            • create global gamelist.xml (converting all txt in folder)
                                            • fix append issue (currently appends to existing xml with same name, if file already exists)
