Description
Scrom is an application that allows you to download ROMs for various emulation systems.
These ROMs are retrieved from Archive.org, a site that references
numerous consoles, platforms, and applications related to emulation.
This application was developed in Python with the GTK3 graphical library.
The Bash script scrom.sh launches the application and manages the addition of new systems.
It scans the /links directory for new .dat files. These data files contain the system name,
uploader ID, file extension, and system pages. The pages are scanned for ROM download links.
Finally, these links are inserted into a database.
The names of the data files correspond to the system name associated with the uploader ID.
Example : links/dreamcast_retrogamechampion.dat :
dreamcast
retrogamechampion
