Feature request

[TenLeftFingers]

When I add a tonne of games, I realize that some aren't being registered because they're not the right version / not supported. So I started again, moving in ten at a time and re-scanning the library but it's quite tedious. I should have requested this *before* I finished the job: but it would be cool for others if they could see which files were not accepted by FS-UAE. Then they could go and fix it.

The best place would be the dropdown list "All games and configuration" to have an option "unsupported / defective".

It sounds more like what you really want is (for example) a DAT file for all recognized variants in the online database, so you can scan files (and/or rename/move) and get a report of what you have and don't have?

Not exactly. What I'm looking for isn't a list of what I have / don't have, but rather what I *do* have but was skipped / ignored during the FS-UAE scan. I have B.A.T for example but only realised weeks later that it didn't get picked up in the scan. It's the rejects I'm interested in so I can rectify them.

Another issue (tell me if I should put this in a seperate thread) is that the CD32 games in .7z / .zip tend to not work unless they are extracted.

It's still to specific to be of general interest I think. But a candidate for a third-party utility if other people are interested and someone wants to make it.

Yes, a known issue which will be fixed

I already put something together some weeks ago, which is basically what you need + TOSEC stuff.... http://eab.abime.net/showpost.php?p=932235&postcount=6 But it works very inefficient, esp. with very large collections.
What OS are you using? I think I can make something better for Linux.

Oooooh a DAT file would be useful, does such a beast exist anywhere?

[TenLeftFingers]

For example, in XBMC I can view all the files in the directories I have scanned. The ones that were scanned successfully have updated artwork and the ones that were missed keep the default thumbnail.

This means that nothing gets lost in the mix and forgotten about. Maybe it is too specific but for anyone with a large collection I think it's the only way to know you've got everything accounted for in FS-UAE.

jbl007 - that sounds exactly like it! I'm using Ubuntu 14.04. I'm more than happy to test it out : )

Ok, here it is, but you don't have a GUI, you need to use a terminal.

wget -N https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sonnenscheinchen/emu-scripts/master/db-unsupported.py
chmod +x db-unsupported.py

# to get a list of unsupported images just use:
./db-unsupported.py /path/to/your/gamedirectory

# to get a .txt file you can use output redirection:
./db-unsupported.py /path/to/your/gamedirectory > files.txt

You may also give oagd-launch a try. It also prints some infos about missing disk images:

$ oagd-launch /media/amiga/games/Chaose2a.adf 
Checksumming file... Done.
Looking up the database.
Found 1 possible variant(s) for Chaose2a.adf.
Using file cache for /media/amiga/games

Checking variant "ADF, cr HF":
Chaos Engine 2, The (1996)(Renegade)(Disk 1 of 3)[cr HF].adf
    --> MATCHES: Chaose2a.adf
Chaos Engine 2, The (1996)(Renegade)(Disk 2 of 3)[cr HF].adf
Chaos Engine 2, The (1996)(Renegade)(Disk 3 of 3)[cr HF].adf
    --> MATCHES: Chaose2c.adf
There are 1 missing disks for this variant.

In this example my Chaos Engine 2 Disk 2 is somewhat faulty. :-\

Hi.

It would be interesting if the FS-UAE Launcher could show the list of game variants missing.

Now the only possibility is to check game by game to see what is missing


thank you!!

ps: it would also be interesting if FS-UAE Launcher had an option to move/copy the games it has found during the scan to a specific path, so all the games that are recognised by FS-UAE Launcher will be moved/copied in a specific path (or paths depending on some time of sorting) and the games that have ot been recognised will be left in the original folder so we cand do with them what we like. In very large collections, now is difficult to tell what zips are useful and what are useless.


thanks

Cool, thank you Maybe I should create a seperate thread for this or PM you but the script didn't seem to like my system:

~$ ./db-unsupported.py ./Applications/Amiga/Working\ Games/
Checksumming your floppy images...

Traceback (most recent call last):

Hm, It seems it doesn't detect your correct FS-UAE base directory. I used a fixed path to the database file for now based on the log file from your prev. posting. Please re-download and try again.
I think, I'll PM you about this later. I want to get this fixed.
