fdscheck can recognize game titles with the internal database. This database is converted from FDS Study database, and it is originally developed by ena and gponys. Thanks for the great work and the permission to use!

Usage

check:

$ fdscheck game.fds                 # with internal database
$ fdscheck --db fdsdb.json game.fds # with custom database
$ fdscheck --nodb game.fds          # without database

split:

$ fdssplit game.fds

build:

$ fdscheck -f manifest game.fds > manifest.json
$ fdssplit game.fds
... (modify files)
$ fdsbuild out.fds manifest.json

convert FDS Study database into JSON:

$ fdssjson fdsdb-be.txt > fdsdb.json

To convert Japanese database, encoding conversion is needed:

$ iconv -f cp932 -t utf-8 fdsdb-bj.txt > fdsdb-bj-utf8.txt
$ fdssjson fdsdb-bj-utf8.txt > fdsdb-ja.json
