Scraper for Mame and Mess games
-
Hi,
I'm the author of Arcade Database web site (http://adb.arcadeitalia.net) and if needed I can create service pages to support image anche video scraping for Mame and Mess games (i.e. games in software list).These are examples of detailed pages available for each game:
http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/?mame=mslug&lang=en
http://adb.arcadeitalia.net/?mess=fatbobby&list=lynx&lang=enThe search algorythm allows you to find games without use exact punctuation, or to include multi-word text using double quotes or even to use rom name. The Mame xml structures (gamelist + softwarelist) are stored and searchable for every version of Mame ever released (i.e. since version 0.1).
The resources can be resized on the fly before returning data stream to client program.Let me know if you are interested on that and how I can contribute to it (service pages, scripts, etc).
PS: I don't have a Raspberry PI, probably I'll buy one in the future. -
It might be worth you contacting Steven @sselph

Sorry to bring out and old topic but Mamedb is down and has been for quite some time. This would be an excellent alternative @sselph
