This directory contains tools and data for building ROMs for the Retro Hardware Mega Games Cartridge.
The central place for information about games and other pieces of software
titles that can be converted to ROMs is the roms.csv file. This file
contains user-visible information, such as the game title and publisher, as
well as information about the files used to create the ROMs and where they
can be obtained.
Many games are created from UEF files using the UEF2ROM.py tool which can be
obtained from the UEF2ROM repository.
Some are build from disk images which must first be converted to UEF files.
This is performed by a collection of scripts in the Fixes directory.
Some of these scripts require the UEFtrans.py tool which can be obtained from
the UEFfile repository.
Other scripts require the ADF2INF.py tool which can be obtained from
the ADFSlib repository.
Running the fetch-uefs.py tool should cause all publically available files to
be downloaded into the UEFs directory, which will be created if necessary.
Some of these will not be in the correct format. Run the fix-uefs.py tool to
produce UEF files for those that require conversion.
The csv2scripts.py tool is then used to create batch.sh and testroms.sh
scripts. The batch.sh script is run to create ROM files for each game in the
ROMs directory. The testroms.sh script runs Elkulator to test each set of
ROMs.
Like the Fixes directory, the patch_files and postload directories
contain additional information that is used to customise certain games so that
they run correctly or simply look nicer when run from ROM.
