Re: Frontend database for other emulator than mame
06/01/12 12:06 AM


That is a good question.

I expect that for some systems, such as consoles, the list of known games is fairly complete, but probably not built into any emulator in a meaningful way.

I would think that you would have to scan the set of disk/tape/cartridge/ROM/whatever images available to the emulator to know what games can be played.

MAME is somewhat unique in that it has built-in knowledge of every game that it is capable of emulating, and can report that in an ingestible way.
