charette

charette

Filter your no-intro roms.

Dependencies

All no-into sets are archived with 7zip, so you have to install the 7z tool first.

On mac you can install it with homebrew:

`brew install p7zip`

Usage

$ charette

By default, the no-intro archives are searched into current directory, but you can set the -input flag instead:

$ charette -input="/PATH/TO/NO-INTRO/ARCHIVES/"

Selected roms are then copied into a new /roms/ sub directory in current directory. You can change the output directory thanks to the -output flag:

$ charette -input="/PATH/TO/NO-INTRO/ARCHIVES/"  -output="/PATH/TO/ROMS/"

Regions

Default preferred regions setting is France,Europe,World,USA,Japan.

It means that when a game has several roms, then charette selects the France one if it exists, otherwise the Europe one, etc. If the game has no rom with preferred region, it is still selected with a random region rom, unless you specify the -strict flag, and in that case the game is skipped.

You can change the regions setting with the -regions flag:

$ charette -regions=USA,World,Europe,Japan

If you want to keep only specified regions, set the -strict flag. For example, to keep only USA roms:

$ charette -regions=USA -strict

Insane mode

By default, charette skips all roms tagged with Proto, Demo, Pirate, Beta, Sample...

If you want to keep all those roms, then use the -insane flag:

$ charette -insane

Scraper

Once charette ended, you can scrap roms images thanks to scraper.

Launch scraper in a rom dictory:

$ cd /PATH/TO/ROMS/snes/
$ scraper -max_width=375 -no_thumb=true

Or, for all directories:

$ cd /PATH/TO/ROMS/
$ find . -maxdepth 1 -mindepth 1 -type d -exec bash -c 'cd "$0" && scraper -max_width=375 -no_thumb=true' {} \;

Adds -append flag when updating a rom directory.
