🚨 Deprecated 🚨

Consider using shiratsu or the shiragame 2.0 database directly instead.

awagame is a small and fast utility to merge together logiqx ROM Datafiles into a single queryable SQLite Database or JSON file. Supports No-Intro Parent/Clone XMLs, TOSEC and redump dats.

awagame supports matching against OpenVGDB's database. The romID field will be populated according to the supplied openvgdb.sqlite, where you can query against OpenVGDB.

Simply start awagame in the same directory as a bunch of Datafiles. Specify the output filename and it will quickly build a database.

awagame --output=filename|-o=filename [--help|-H] [--openvgdb] [--json]

###--output=filename

awagame requires you to specify the output filename. This has to be the first argument.

###--openvgdb

Check each record to see if it has a romID in OpenVGDB. If it does, it will be recorded in the database. Requires openvgdb.sqlite to the in the same directory as awagame

###--json

Output to a JSON file rather than an SQLite database. The resulting JSON object has the same schema as the SQLite table, but the records are keyed on the game's SHA1 hash.

###Downloader Usage awagame can be used to download DAT files from online sources. Use only one parameter at a time.

###--download-redump

Downloads all DAT files from redump.org

###--download-tosec

Downloads the latest TOSEC DAT package from tosecdev.com. This is a rather large file so please wait a bit while it downloads.

###---download-nointro

awagame databases have a very simple schema to represent only the data found in the datafiles.
