Here's the 25000+ Spectrum TZXs from the latest TOSEC converted to MAME's XML format.
As pointed out before, it would be too crazy for me to do all these alone (it was already a lot of work to get to this starting point) but, in case that somebody wants to get started, here's the details:
Already done:
-All TOSEC entries are in the proper MAME softlist format.
-All articles preface the game titles (no more commas).
-Every name is correctly ordered (now commas separate the different people/entities involved).
-Removed some dumps which have been made obsolete recently.
-Identified some releases from my old site and labeled them
-Removed files generated with the ZXZVM interpreter.
-Removed games from the Crap Games Competition.
To do:
-Purging bad dumps, trained games, Jet Set Willy hacks, and other unwanted entries.
-Merge sides/tapes from the same release into one entry.
-Label each side when there's more than one.
-Add a unique name for each entry.
-Parent-clone relationships.
-Label the publisher in certain entries as "homebrew" or "unknown".
-Specify required hardware which may be needed for certain games.
The "Games" file alone is 17612 entries while the rest combined is 9108, so... having at least some automation would definitely help make this goal more feasable.
EDIT: The owner of SPA2 is sending me the DSKs from the backlog, so that I can "provisionally" add them to the +3 softlist while they're still being verified for their (undetermined) official release.
EDIT 2: Files have been updated.
