 Correct, the gui option is added to what is in svn, but so far the rest of
the code is not checked in.

 %s and %d1 (after the code is available) will always represent the rom name
or in the case of multi disk games the first disk.

 Currently I'm evaluating several data sources, none of which provided
everything I'd like. At this point I'm seriously considering generating
my own database.

 Unfortunately it's been my experience that while users often have the best
of intentions, there is usually little follow through on this sort of thing, 
either due to lack of interest, lack of time, or lack of wanting to put in
the effort. And if the database doesn't support the vast majority of what 
I have then it doesn't fit what I want to accomplish. I can tell you that 
I have no intention of entering the data manually for my collection so I 
don't expect users to do it for me :)

 What I am considering is generating a database using many of the available
datasources I have, including raw analysis of the roms themselves. A copy
of this database would be web accessible and users could do lookups, download
local copies of information which could be a drop in for mythgame, and 
submit updates.
