Overview ¶
Package misterarcade imports the MiSTer arcade catalog's metadata onto indexed .mra rows.
MiSTer platforms already download, cache and classify that catalog; this scraper performs the join they stop short of, keying each indexed descriptor to its catalog row by the MAME set name declared inside it.

Functions ¶
func NewPlatformScraper ¶
func NewPlatformScraper(systems []string, catalog Catalog, cache SetNameCache) platforms.Scraper
NewPlatformScraper returns the arcade catalog scraper.
systems are the indexed systems whose media this catalog describes: the platform states them because MiSTer classifies arcade descriptors into granular hardware systems while MiSTeX indexes them all as Arcade. catalog reads the platform's cached or embedded copy of the catalog. cache is an optional set-name fast path and may be nil.
Types ¶
type Catalog ¶
Catalog supplies the arcade metadata rows for one run. The catalog itself is platform-owned — MiSTer and MiSTeX cache and embed it — so the platform injects its reader rather than this package reaching into their build.
type Entry ¶
type Entry struct {
SetName string
Region string
Version string
Alternative string
ParentTitle string
Platform string
Series string
Homebrew string
Bootleg string
Year string
Manufacturer string
Category string
Resolution string
Rotation string
Players string
MoveInputs string
SpecialControls string
NumButtons string
Flip string
}
Entry is one catalog row. Field names follow the catalog's own columns rather than Core's tag vocabulary, so a mapping change never looks like a source change. The catalog's display name and layout spacer columns are not read: arcade titles come from the descriptor filename, which the indexer owns.
type SetNameCache ¶
SetNameCache is an optional fast path for resolving an indexed descriptor to its set name. MiSTer already reads every set name while classifying granular arcade systems and keeps the result in a size/mtime-validated cache; reusing it means a scrape costs a map lookup per row instead of thousands of reads from SD storage. ok=false falls back to reading the descriptor. A nil cache is valid and means every row is read.
