I have created a Mod (language file + script) for a nice Database about video games (www.mobygames.com)
It retrieves almost everything interesting (Big picture, description, credits, release date, technical specifications, developer, publisher...) and seems to work pretty well.
Please report any bug or request any feature (that is not in the to-do list ) you'd like
v2.1b
*Changed some fields:
*Release Date -> Resolution
*Main creators of the game -> Audio format
*Number of players supported -> Framerate
*Creation of an algorithm which tries to retrieve the main creators (Lead Designer, Producer, ...) from the credits of the game. Works not that bad, though far from perfect
v2.0b
*Greatly improved the algorithm to create the results window:
Now games are sorted chronologically inside each plateform
Algorithm ~10 times as fast as before
*Games with no developper will now show up correctly
*Minor bugfixes (empty lines, spaces at the end of lines, etc...)
*Added exportation template based on airplane_vn v.0.5
v1.1
*Added user options
Large, Small or no cover
Source and Lead Designer questions are optional
*Minor bugfixes and improvements
v1.0
*Retrieved information: (Information -> Field used to store it, in bold if different)
Platform -> Media Label
Media Type -> Media Type
Source -> Source
Date added -> Date added
Borrower -> Borrower
Rating -> Rating
Original Title -> Original Title
Translated Title -> Translated Title Developer -> Director Publisher -> Producer
Country -> Country
Year -> Year
URL -> URL
Description -> Description Number of times completed -> length Credit -> Actors Technical specifications -> Comments Series to which the game belongs -> Video format Number of players supported -> Audio format Classification -> Subtitles Lead Designer -> Resolution Release date -> Framerate Game size -> Files size
Disks -> Disks
*Large picture importation
*Results sorted by plateform

You can send me the file so I put them on my server (forum.antp.be/users)
The only downside is that you have to send me the new file each time that you want to have it updated.
