Hi everyone,
fMSX has a ROM type selection feature that is required for proper emulation of certain ROM's (such as Zanac-Ex). I recently implemented a feature in a PSP port of fMSX that maps ROM types to the ROM's CRC32 value; however, since I don't own/play as many MSX games as I would like, I don't really have a comprehensive ROM list to test against.
It recently occurred to me that since quite a number of emulators were originally based on fMSX, that it's possible that someone else has already built up a list of CRC/ROM type mappings for another emulator. My question is, do you know of any (open-source) emulators that already have such an internal list, and if so, which ones?
Thanks

blueMSX and openMSX have an extensive software database which has all this information and more. The database is licensed under the GPL. The ROM information is generated from this online database: http://romdb.vampier.net/ |

if you use sha1 values I can give you a custom xml file, just let me know.

Thank you, but there's no need, CRC is fine.
I will most likely end up putting that information directly into the program as C code.
