Scumm2Batocera – ScummVM to Batocera Exporter

Scumm2Batocera is a small Windows tool that scans a folder of ScummVM games and exports them in a Batocera-ready format.

It uses a local JSON database extracted from the newest ScummVM release (--list-games), so it can match against the latest supported games.

Features

• Scan a folder with multiple ScummVM game subfolders.
• Fuzzy-match folder names to real ScummVM games:
  • Exact title matches
  • Short ID matches
  • Keyword overlap
  • Acronyms / common abbreviations (e.g. MI2, DOTT, INDY3).
• Show:
  • Original folder name
  • Identified game title
  • ScummVM short ID
  • Confidence score
  • A short “reason” for the match.
• Export to a Batocera-ready structure:
  • Copies the game folders.
  • Creates .scummvm files (containing the short ID) next to each game.
• Writes identification-log.txt and export-log.txt with details.

Requirements

• Windows
• .NET 8.0 Desktop Runtime (or Visual Studio 2022+ with .NET 8 support)

Usage

1. Put scummvm-games.json in the same folder as the executable.
2. Start the app.
3. Select your source folder (one subfolder per game).
4. Click Scan Folder and review the matches.
5. Select an output folder.
6. Click Export Batocera Ready to copy games and create .scummvm files.

This tool is basically feature-complete and not under constant development. I may update it occasionally if needed.
