This cries for kaa.vfs. It would be posible to store metadata to an item and search based on the metadata. The problem is that I don't have that much time these days so kaa.vfs is still not integrated. But IIRC rom drive support is last major thing on the todo list, inotify is nice to have but it works without. So maybe kaa.vfs will be integrated into freevo in March. But what you can do is provide the metadata. I don't know how you get it right now, but kaa.metadata (mmpython) is the way to go here. Maybe you can add more parser to /kaa/metadata/src/games/. take a look at the existing parser to see how it is done and you need to register the parser to the factory.py Feel free to ask questions about it. IMHO better games metadata parsing should be in kaa.metadata to make sure kaa.vfs has everything it needs to do the stuff you want. Dischi -- Students nowadays, complaining they only get 5MBs of disk space! In my day we were lucky if we had one file, and that was /dev/null.
