RetroArch Database

RetroArch incoporates a ROM scanning system to automatically produce playlists. Each ROM that is scanned by the playlist generator is checked against a database of ROMs that are known to be good copies.

Contents

  • cht Cheats to various games
  • cursors Provides methods in order to query the playlists
  • dat Customized DAT files, maintained by the libretro team
  • metadata Different metadata and third-party DATs available to the systems
  • rdb The compiled RetroArch database files
  • scripts Various scripts that are used to maintain the database files

Sources

Generally, RetroArch's scanner is configured for ROMs that have been validated by No-Intro or Redump DAT files but many other source databases are also in use.
