Nice to see that this project is not dead.
It was a pain to read this xtras format but finally I got it working. If you are familiar with python you could have a look at the importer of my Rom Browser script (http://code.google.com/p/romcollectionbr...ources/lib). You will need descriptionparser.py, pyparsing.py and a working parserConfig.xml. An example how to invoke the parser can be found in temptests.py (actually commented out). After invoking the parser you will get a dictionary with all game related properties and just have to write your own code to get the data into your DB. If you are interested I could separate it as a little project for you.
I already have some exports that are known to be working with my parser. You can get them here: http://romcollectionbrowser.googlecode.c...medesc.zip (parserConfig.xml is included).
And one feature request:
Will you add the crc value as key to your API?
Regards,
malte
