API Request - Reicast

Post by Flyinghead »

Hello,

I'm a developer from Reicast, the Dreamcast emulator. I would like to get an api key to include in the emulator. Requests will primilarily be on Dreamcast games, and on Dreamcast-based arcade games (Naomi, Atomiswave).

The project is here: https://github.com/reicast/reicast-emulator

Thanks in advance

We're curious to see how new projects use TGDB API.
If you have a new public project, please provide a link to it so we can highlight cool new applications! 8-)

[mention]Flyinghead[/mention],

since you're working on a specific console emulator (as oppose to multi emus front end),
I'd like to point out that you can batch request games by serial id. e.g https://api.thegamesdb.net/Games/ByGame ... ude=boxart

however, we currently haven't enabled it for dream cast yet, as such database is empty, but if you could provide us a format for the serial id, and if available serial collection, we could upload that to the database, making your queries much more accurate (and faster, since you can batch request games).
Regards

Thanks [mention]Zer0xFF[/mention]

I'll get back to you with the serial ID info. We use it to identify which game is playing but I don't have a complete list. I'll have a look.
