1g1r-romset-generator VS skyscraper

I assume it needs write access so you probably couldn't run it off the FTP server. You can use this to generate a 1G1R set based off a no-intro DAT. You would need to download the set from somewhere first obviously.

going another step further the 1g1r project tries to create sets sans dupes, so some automation exists to help with that: https://github.com/andrebrait/1g1r-romset-generator or https://salumba.com/romlist/romlist_ui.php can assist there.

Currently, I am using the 1G1R ROM Set Generator Python script created by Andre Brait.

Well, technically I don’t use romcenter to filter my sets. I use it to make sure everything is what it says it is and ensure that the names are all standardized. Romcenter can do filtering to a degree; in the settings as you make a database you can specify region and so on, then just delete anything that doesn’t match. Personally, I use 1g1r romset generator due to how many options it has for customization.

How do you generate your 1G1R sets? This is my favorite tool --> https://github.com/andrebrait/1g1r-romset-generator

Run this script to get 1g1r English set (for example) and delete all Japanese/bios/demo etc. https://github.com/andrebrait/1g1r-romset-generator

I've been trying to find an alternative (preferably open-source and customizable) frontend for emulation after the whole RetroArch dev controversies. Right now I'm scraping games with Skyscraper and cleaning up No-Intro ROM-sets with a 1G1R ROM-set generator.

Here's the script for 1G1R.

ES Desktop is great but I prefer Skyscraper for media content https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/tree/master

Yes, but I would suggest to make it clear on the front page / README that the project is no longer being maintained and you would encourage someone to fork it if they want to continue development. For example, like this project did:

You can try skyskraper, at least there is "Skyscraper works perfectly on macOS" in the description

This might help: Resource Cache

you might also try skyscraper, its a CLI tool for scraping folders to generate metadata for pegasus and other frontends: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper

It's highly configurable through the command-line interface: https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/CLIHELP.md

Doing this by hand would be quite tedious, of course. Lars Muldjord's Skyscraper (https://retropie.org.uk/docs/Scraper/#lars-muldjords-skyscraper) has an "import" module to cache local resources (https://github.com/muldjord/skyscraper/blob/master/docs/IMPORT.md)
