I'm working on a bash script that exports a text file containing an organized list of games on my MiSTer.

This way I can reference the file while I'm out thrifting. Sometimes I accidentally buy something I already dumped.

Does this utility already exist for the MiSTer?

Could I get a link to MiSTer? The name is a real word, and when I look it up, I get the website for my local gun dealer.

Yikes. That's not it.

It did not help that they were the closest business with “mister” in the name from where I was Googling.

Do you want help with it? I don't have a MiSTer, but I can whip up a script real quick if I'm told the file structure. If you just need to recursively check for files within a given folder GAME_PATH, you could do:

find GAME_PATH -name "*.*" > games.txt

which would recursively match any file *.*

Nope, don't need help. Just wondering if MiSTer has a feature like this already.

I recently got a mister and only thing I saw was the tapto app (open-source) does list them all with categories, might be worth seeing how they do it. Also if you have all physical games hiding a little nfc tag in them and taping is a really fun way to manage. My 6yo can even start games himself!

clz games app?

I'm not looking for any sort of app really.

This is a ridiculously smart idea

And yes, I buy cartridge games and then dump the ROMs. Best of both worlds.
