May sound a bit weird but hear me out.

It’s just a tool that allows you to take your ROM information into Launchbox and, using maybe the Metadata or pulling information from Wikipedia, it can spit out lists of games you own, games you’re missing, what you have from a specific region etc.

I’m not a programmer so I don’t know how feasible this is using just code but having tried to set up a Spreadsheet to try and calculate all this manually with just my library; it’s taking forever to manually input all the data myself and I think it’ll be a really useful feature, especially for people with ever expanding libraries or people who are, like myself, wanting to make sure they aren’t missing anything and can then seek out finding copies of these games to purchase/borrow and rip themselves.

Could even pull from a centralized file that has all the information regularly updated or community managed. Could be split up by region, ROM/Board revision later down the road.
