  1. Hi, I'm trying to create an offline game-info scraper for thegamesdb.net. So far, so good - I can scrape XML info from the website and parse it quite easily. Now comes the storage/integration part. I want to put the data into the emulator databases in c:\GameEx\Data\Emulators, and eventually - if I get it right - have it show up in the GameEx interface. It's just that some of the fields in the database are not obvious. Publisher, Developer and Description are obvious, but what are "GoodName" or "NoIntro", for example? Is there somewhere where the database format and fields are documented? Also, anything else I should know? For example, does GameEx use the ROM name to look for a match, or does it first refer to the MAP file, then look for the mapping name in the database? Stuff like that. Once the application is done, I hope it will be something I can share with the community. Any help appreciated. Thanks
