Requested Features

• Support merged MAME data by importing custom lists with custom data, not available from current data sources (e.g. information not in mame lixtxml, catver, controls or nplayers, or e.g. "Top 100 clones worth playing")
• Revisioning between MAME versions, exportable to custom lists. Information Source: RenameSet Dat
• Resolve confilicting data (e.g. mame listxml game X = 2p6b vs. nplayers.ini game X = 2p4b)
• Custom filters with operators (<>=!&or) and range definition (years 1988 - 1997)
• Categorize resulting lists in views "match criteria" and "not match criteria", add functionality to move entries between such two views, logging of automatic and manual move processes.
• Export to different formats: Frontend-specific gamelist formats, txt, csv, xml
• Cross-platform: Windows, linux, MacOS, ...
• let user see, if a game requires a matching chd

Planned Features

• Use all information from the MAME XML data as filter except ROM data.
• Merge MAME data with data from catver.ini, nplayers.dat and genre.dat.
• Use game lists as filters.
• Use ranking/weight (e.g. from polls) to order resulting game lists.
• Translate to German and possibly other languages.
