picotool VS wiktextract

I am struggling to find information on how to parse metadata (Cart ID, author, cart version, etc.) from downloaded carts. In my use case, I am looking for the cart ID, but I'm sure the other information will be useful. From my understanding, stat(101) should give me the ID, but the issue is that I am running from a local cart, not off of the BBS, so printing stat(101) always returns "[nil]". Similarly, stat(102) returns "0", meaning I am running from a local file. I have looked at picotool, but the stats command there returns code and other token information, which isn't useful to me. I am familiar with Python, so I can parse the data myself if it comes to that. I just don't know where I should look for that information.

Atom (with language-pico8) in combination with picotool is my choice. I just use PICO-8 for creating assets and testing which can all be automated with a Makefile.

Great work

I'm working on similar dictionary app and found wiktionary insanely usable as dictionary source.

Here is one more project aiming to make wiktionary data usable as json data structure: https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract.

It has a link to a site https://kaikki.org/ which hosts dictionary data dumps.

Hm, that would be a good idea... if I didn't have to download so much data (over 20GB for just audio?!). But, looking at the Python library that processed those dumps (https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract), which is more manageable, using it would involve getting the WikiMedia dump file for every word on the list, then parsing them for the relevant data and what follows is mostly the same, except I end up with a bunch of cached files.

Many parsers are available. https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract

I'd probably try pulling from Wiktionary, there looks to be a Python package that can do it here.

And the json is built with https://github.com/tatuylonen/wiktextract whom I have to thank
