dumpgame extracts rom set information from a ckmame(1) database. dumpgame can also find roms matching a particular checksum.

dumpgame supports the following options:

--all-sets
Do the action for all configured sets.
, --brief
Use brief mode: don't output ROM and disk information.
, --checksum
Look for a ROM or disk by checksum (instead of the default behaviour to look for a game by name).
dbfile, --rom-db dbfile
Use database dbfile instead of the default “mame.db”.
--dats
Names of the datfiles used for creating the database, and their descriptions.
--detector
Name and version of the CMPro XML header skip detector used (if any).
--disks
List names of all disks in the database.
--games
List names of all games in the database.
--hash-types
Types of checksums used (crc, md5, sha1). One line each for roms and disks.
, --help
Display a short help message.
--list-sets
List all configured sets.
--set pattern
Run dumpgame for all sets matching pattern.
--summary
List some statistics about the contents of the database.
, --version
Display program name and version number.

Location for the database file. Can be overridden with the -D option. Defaults to “mame.db”.
