edeloya / sm64

Objective

Crawl https://sm64romhacks.com for zips and catalogue versions and their metadata

Pre-requisites:

Python3

pip install pandas
pip install lxml

To Investigate:

• How do we determine the most recent / supported version of a romhack when dates are missing?
  • Some version names are a bit more complex than simply incrementing a number(s)
• Can we automate unzipping, folder structure, patching, and checksumming with our own backup ROM?
• How do we decide filenames for romhacks which were named with illegal characters?
  • \ / ? : " < > |
• Which characters does EverDrive, Project64, etc support?

Notes:

Pandas documentation on DataFrames

DataFrame Examples:

df.info()
df.count()
df[['Hackname','Version','Creator', 'Starcount', 'Date (Format: yyyy-mm-dd)']]# df1 = df[df.columns[:2]]
df1.join(df2)
df2.rename({'Starcount': '⭐', 'Date (Format: yyyy-mm-dd)': 'Date'}, axis=1)
