[QUOTE="MJGraf, post: 1158780, member: 17886"] Sure, nfo files are more flexible, but what program can be used to write them? Creating nfo files from scratch manually is a real pain... If you can get all you need from thegamesdb.net (sorry, I don't use emulator games) then the easiest way would certainly be to recognise the game by a unique number in the folder or file name. We do the same with movies and IMDb numbers. As soon as you put the IMDb ID (TT...) somewhere in the movie file's name (or folder name) the MovieMDE downloads all the necessary information from the Internet. What you can not do with this method is of course have metadata different from the one you find on thegamesdb.net. That's the main use case for nfo files for series and movies: if people want to have 100% defined metadata dviating from the metadata found in the Internet. Are you aware of a software that creates (or reads) nfo files for games? [/QUOTE]
