  • Make option to change which artwork tag is set as <image> so you can switch between Box Front, Cart, Titles, Action and 3D Boxarts types after the gamelists are already made.
  • Remove any line with only an URL in the description.

  • Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System and Platform: Famicom Disk System entries in the synopsis.txt files located in /Media/nes/Synopsis/ folder will treat these entries as if they were NES and not FDS games and look for roms and all media in the /nes/ folders instead. (This should not occur if the synopsis, media and roms are located in the /Media/fds/ directory though).

  • Make option to change which artwork tag is set as <marquee> so you can switch between Box Front, Cart, Titles, Action and 3D Boxarts types after the gamelists are already made. (Same as what I believe you already did for the <image> tag). This way we can easily change what type of image displays for two image types after the gamelist.xml is created.

I'm going to add "dummy" *.jpg files in the Marquee folder since I don't actually have any marquee images, unless you have a better solution for this. I think right now the script just wouldn't create <marquee> tags at all, so this request wouldn't actually do anything unless the original run of the script created those lines in the gamelist.xml

  • Add the following fields to the Full option:

  • Translation

  • Release Year:

  • Translated By:

  • Hack Release Year:

  • Hacked By:

  • Original Title:

  • Alternate Title:

These aren't always used in every synopsis, so it should only create these in the entries that have them in the synopsis.txt file

  • Use the Players: field in the synopsis.txt files to create two tags in the gamelist.xml. The first would be our standard <players> tag that uses your code to only show the maximum amount of players in the game, but also a <players-full> tag that would show the text string that I put on that line. Personally I prefer the way that we've displayed that on the XBox and I'm hoping that if this is built on my end I might one day be able to get somebody here to add that possible tag to the setup here. I know it wouldn't be usable for anything right now. Maybe we could just throw that in the "full" option and leave it out when we don't use that.

  • gamelist.xml to synopsis.txt reverse-order feature.

@Used2bRX I think I'll have some free time later today. Will try to work on some of the things you mentioned.

The "gamelist-to-synopsis" feature will be pretty easy to implement.

  • Platform: Nintendo Entertainment System and Platform: Famicom Disk System entries in the synopsis.txt files located in /Media/nes/Synopsis/ folder will treat these entries as if they were NES and not FDS games and look for roms and all media in the /nes/ folders instead. (This should not occur if the synopsis, media and roms are located in the /Media/fds/ directory though).

Can you confirm if you still want exactly what you're describing above?
