Utility description
This is a simple python tool that take advantage of the linux library 'libmirage' part of the cdemu linux project to extract game ids from any kind of cd-image supported by cdemu.
Unfortunately this dependency makes it specific to linux. It outputs json to stdout and errors to stderr to be more easy to use for python programing.
usage: dumpid.py [-h] [--force {psx,ps2,ss,scd,dc}]
CD-IMAGE|M3U-FILE [CD-IMAGE|M3U-FILE ...]
Parse game serial (psx, ps2, dc) or md5 hash of some invariant region (ss,
scd, dc) to identify games regardless of cd-image format.
positional arguments:
CD-IMAGE|M3U-FILE cd-image to scan in all formats cdemu supports, or m3u
containing at least one cd-image.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show this help message and exit
--force {psx,ps2,ss,scd,dc}
force a type of console while parsing the file(s).
Useful for consoles or games that can't recognized
correctly because of system identifier errors.
M3u parsing returns just the id of the first item on the m3u. For each valid
file processed, this command returns a json list of maps to sys.out of the
format: [ { file: parsed-file, system: psx|ps2|ss|scd|dc|unknown (redump
system names), serial: string|unknown, id_md5: string|unknown } ]
