oxyromon 0.4.0

Rusty ROM OrgaNizer

OxyROMon is a cross-platform opinionated CLI ROM organizer written in Rust. Like most ROM managers, it checks ROM files against known good databases. It is designed with archiving in mind, as such it only supports original and lossless ROM formats. Sorting can be done in regions mode, in so-called 1G1R mode, or both.

Configuration

Configuration is done from the command line and settings are stored in the SQLite database. The database itself is stored in ${data_dir}/oxyromon as defined in the dirs crate.

Available settings: - ROM_DIRECTORY: Full path to your ROM directory, defaults to ${home_dir}/Emulation as defined in the dirs crate - TMP_DIRECTORY: Full path to a temporary directory for file extraction, defaults to temp_dir - DISCARD_BETA: Discard beta ROMs - DISCARD_CASTLEVANIA_ANNIVERSARY_COLLECTION: Discard Castlevania Anniversary Collection ROMs - DISCARD_CLASSIC_MINI: Discard Classic Mini ROMs - DISCARD_DEBUG: Discard debug ROMs - DISCARD_DEMO: Discard demo ROMs - DISCARD_PROGRAM: Discard program ROMs - DISCARD_PROTO: Discard prototype ROMs - DISCARD_SAMPLE: Discard sample ROMs - DISCARD_SEGA_CHANNEL: Discard Sega Channel ROMs - DISCARD_SWITCH_ONLINE: Discard Switch Online ROMs - DISCARD_VIRTUAL_CONSOLE: Discard Virtual Console ROMs - DISCARD_WII: Discard Wii ROMs

Note: TMP_DIRECTORY should have at least 8GB of free space to extract those big DVDs.

Directory Layout

${ROM_DIRECTORY}
    ...
    ⮡ ${SYSTEM_NAME} # Base directory for each system, allowed regions will be stored here
        ⮡ 1G1R # Sub directory for 1G1R games
        ⮡ Trash # Sub directory for trashed games
    ...

External programs

These should be in your ${PATH} for extra features.

• 7z: 7Z and ZIP support
• chdman: CHD support
• maxcso: CSO support

TODO

• Support NKIT and NKIT.GCZ (NKIT is currently broken on Linux for Wii games)?
• Support RVZ?
• Have convert-roms optionally handle one game at a time

oxyromon-config

Queries and configures the oxyromon settings

The settings can be queried, modified and deleted from the command line.

USAGE:
    oxyromon config [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -l, --list       Prints the whole configuration
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

    -d, --delete <KEY>         Deletes a single setting
    -g, --get <KEY>            Prints a single setting
    -s, --set <KEY> <VALUE>    Configures a single setting

oxyromon-import-dats

Parses and imports No-Intro and Redump DAT files into oxyromon

The standard Logiqx XML format is supported, this includes Parent-Clone DAT files.

Supported DAT providers: * No-Intro * Redump

Note: Some systems require a header definition to be placed alongside the DAT file.

USAGE:
    oxyromon import-dats [FLAGS] <DATS>...

FLAGS:
    -i, --info       Shows the DAT information and exit
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

ARGS:
    <DATS>...    Sets the DAT files to import

oxyromon-import-roms

Validates and imports ROM files into oxyromon

ROM files that match against the database will be placed in the base directory of the system they belong to. You will be prompted for the system you want to check your ROMs against. Most files will be moved as-is, with the exception of archives containing multiple games which are extracted.

Supported ROM formats: * All No-Intro and Redump supported formats * 7Z and ZIP archives * CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data) * CSO (Compressed ISO)

Note: Importing a CHD requires the matching CUE file from Redump.

USAGE:
    oxyromon import-roms <ROMS>...

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

ARGS:
    <ROMS>...    Sets the rom files to import

oxyromon-convert-roms

Converts ROM files between common formats

ROMs can be converted back and forth at most one format away from their original format. That means you can convert an ISO to a CSO, but not a CSO to a 7Z archive. Invoking this command will convert all eligible roms for some or all systems.

Supported ROM formats:

• All No-Intro and Redump supported formats <-> 7Z and ZIP archives
• CUE/BIN <-> CHD (Compressed Hunks of Data)
• ISO <-> CSO (Compressed ISO)

Note: CHD will be extracted to their original split CUE/BIN when applicable.

USAGE:
    oxyromon convert-roms [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -h, --help       Prints help information
    -V, --version    Prints version information

OPTIONS:
    -f, --format <FORMAT>    Sets the destination format [possible values: 7Z, CHD, CSO, ORIGINAL, ZIP]

oxyromon-sort-roms

Sorts ROM files according to region and version preferences

Sorting can be done using several strategies. You can also choose to discard certain types of games. Optionally you can print a list of games you may be missing, you hoarder, you.

Supported modes: - Regions mode - 1G1R mode - Hybrid mode

In regions mode, games belonging to at least one of the specified regions will be placed in the base directory of the system. In 1G1R mode, only one game from a Parent-Clone game group will be placed in the 1G1R subdirectory, by order of precedence. In hybrid mode, the 1G1R rule applies, plus all remaining games from the selected regions will be placed in the base directory. In every mode, discarded games are placed in the Trash subdirectory.

1G1R and hybrid modes are still useful even without a Parent-Clone DAT file, it lets you separate games you will actually play, while keeping original Japanese games for translation patches and other hacks.

USAGE:
    oxyromon sort-roms [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

FLAGS:
    -a, --all                   Sorts all systems

oxyromon-purge-roms

Purges trashed and missing ROM files

This will purge the database from every ROM file that has gone missing, as well as optionally delete all games in the Trash subdirectories.
