ROM Manager for fetching/scraping metadata, box art ect.?

Postby vonfnas » Sun Jan 25, 2015 5:30 pm

Hey guys!

I'm looking for a program that will fetch/scrape all neciserry files (metadata, box art ect.) for ROMs.
And I am not talking about a front-end.

Just a program to make it easier to collect all data so that if I want to use a front-end, the front-end won't have to connect to the internet to fetch all info and pics, as it's already done beforehand.

I know there's tons of these programs for movies, tv-series and music so that things like XBMC does not have to go through the process of collecting all the info on it's own.
I want exactly that, but for ROMs.

Please tell me that there is such a program?

I'm not entirely certain vonfnas, that's not necessarily something I've thought about. I will look into this and see if I can find anything for you. :hi:

The closest thing I can think of is LaunchBox... You can use it for Emulators, PC Games, Steam, DOSBox and ScummVM.
