Hey Ripper I just got done downloading the TurboGrafx-CD set from PD. I noticed a few games that are missing. Bonk III for example. Is this on purpose? Also the SuperDat that is included in the torrent contains regions in the name and description fields but the roms themselves do not. Should I run them through clrmame and rename the roms or is this how things are supposed to be? Sorry for all the questions...

Not on purpose, just not dumped by trurip yet. We do add missing stuff though if we get hands on then and replace those with own dumps eventually.

The PCE is splitted into two systems (regions): PC Engine CD and TurboGrafx-CD.

I don't see regions in the filenames.
   <game name="Games\Addams Family, The">
      <description>Addams Family, The</description>

Country is only mentioned in the filename to prevent a collision: Like having  PCE CD with titles

Doom and Doom (South Korea).

Basically we stick with the filenames to a bar required minimal filename.

Not done many systems? (so far 143 Systems / regions in the database)

We have a lot of systems done , except our focus was on optical media systems.

Bigger systems like? (as in number of titles? since optical media are by a mile the largest sets - sizewise)

Atm the sets are 20TB large and soon over 30TB. (and thats without the roms sets).

Question remains: if certain information is present in both xml and info file, which should have preference?

The info file for sure. I'm tired of having to base everything around XML databases that don't even contain enough data to do a legitimate rom scan. Once the TruRip scene catches on this won't be such an issue. But as it is right now the the Hyperlist files (unless you are using the set Pieter uploaded) don't even have all the fields available to work with RetroFE. What happens if a user chooses to use a GoodRom set? There is no Hyperlist or TruRip dat for that...

Info.conf files IMO will be much easier to work with and users don't all have to have the same databases, roms, art, etc.. The data i proposed in the first post would be basic information included with all game info.conf files, then users could add extra data to the existing default. The files could then be shared among the community and full sets could be made. Plus once Pieter gets time to add media searching without tags the info.conf files will become even more universal.

Retrofe supports trurip SUPERdats files, which holds all meta data info there, which is read out by retrofe theme also.
We didnt do this for the fun of it. Its already working. And can easily add all needed info for the seperate titles in the meta data part of the SUPERdat files

At this moment it holds (example):

Hi,

If anyone is interested in combining the trurip sets with art etc for RetroFE and want to help out then please send a P.M. (instead of doing the same thing)

Already posted the sets, but now its time to do also the art section for it.

If you want to help out then will hook you up... :)
