file2clrdat.py: Outputs a file in ClrMamePro dat format with rom info (hashes,
size...) from a file or files in a directory. This will speed up the process
of update ClrMamePro .dat files, without using ClrMamePro.
Usage:
file2clrdat.py INPUT_ROM
file2clrdat.py INPUT_ROM [(-d DAT_FILE [-m DIR] [-u DIR])] [-s SEARCH_TYPE]
file2clrdat.py --help
Arguments:
INPUT_ROM Input rom file o directory with roms.
Options:
-d DAT_FILE, --datfile=DAT_FILE Dat file that will be searched, type of
search can be changed with "-s" option.
-m MATCHED_DIR, --matcheddir=DIR INPUT_ROM will be moved to MATCHED_DIR
if exists in DAT_FILE.
Must be used with "-d" option.
-u UNMATCHED_DIR --unmatcheddir=DIR INPUT_ROM will be moved to UNMATCHED_DIR
if not exists in DAT_FILE.
Must be used with "-d" option.
-s SEARCH_TYPE, --searchtype=type Set type of search that "-d" option will
use. Valid "types": size, crc, md5, sha1
Must be used with "-d" option.
[default: sha1]
-h, --help Show this help screen.
Output:
INPUT_ROM_romdata, File with all info from INPUT_ROM
Optional: Move scanned roms to folders.
Examples:
- Generate rom info (rom.bin_rondata) from a single rom file:
file2clrdat.py "c:\my_downloads\rom.bin"
- Scan a directory, match md5 hashes of every file in that directory with
a dat file, matched files will be moved to "dupe_roms" directory, files not
found in dat file will be moved to "new_roms" directory adding a file with
rom data for every file:
file2clrdat.py "c:\my_downloaded_roms" -s md5 -d "c:\my_dat_wip\my_dat.dat" -m "c:\my_dat_wip\dupe_roms" -u "c:\my_dat_wip\new_roms"
