Signatures

While games can be added to the server without them, it is recommended adding some signature DAT files beforehand to allow for better matching of ROMs to games.

These signature DAT files contain a list of titles with hashes for many of the ROM images that have been found by the community.

Currently supported DAT's:

• TOSEC: https://www.tosecdev.org/downloads/category/56-2023-01-23
• MAME Arcade and MAME Mess: https://www.progettosnaps.net/dats/MAME

If there are other DAT's you'd like to see support for, please raise an issue with a link to the DAT's.
