Safari 18.4 Ships 3 New JavaScript Features from the TC39 Pipeline
Safari 18.4 adds support for Iterator Helpers and two other TC39 JavaScript features, bringing full cross-browser coverage to key parts of the ECMAScript spec.
Datoso is a WIP Python command line tool to download and organize your Dat Roms. As today the tool supports dat-omatic, redump, and translated-english dats. It merges all the dats in a tree folder structure thought to use with Emulators rather than dats. The dat file format must be compatible with ROMVault.
Datoso requires python 3.11+.
Use pip (recommended to use a virtual environment):
# Optional (create a virtual environment)
python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
# Install datoso base (doesn't do much without plugins)
pip install datoso
# Install datoso with all official plugins
pip install datoso[all]
# Install datoso with only one of the plugins
pip install datoso[SEED_NAME]
# e.g.
pip install datoso[fbneo]
# or install the plugins separately
# Install datoso plugins after installing datoso
pip install datoso_seed_SEED_NAME
# e.g.
pip install datoso_seed_nointro
# Show help
$ datoso --help
usage: datoso [-h] [-v] {config,doctor,dat,seed,import,deduper,all} ...

# Seed commands
$ datoso seed [list,details]
# Seed commands
$ datoso {<seed> | all} {--fetch | --process} [--filter FILTER]
#e.g.
$ datoso redump --fetch # Downloads all dats from redump
$ datoso redump --process --filter IBM # Process all dats downloaded in the step before that has IBM in its name
# Dat management
$ datoso dat -d <dat_name> # Finds a dat by partial name (cannot set/modify properties)
$ datoso dat -d <seed>:<dat_name> # Finds a dat by partial name in a seed (can set/modify properties)
$ datoso dat -d <dat_name> --fields <field1> <field2> ... # Shows only the fields specified
$ datoso dat -d <seed>:<dat_name> --fields <field1> <field2> ... # Shows only the fields specified
$ datoso dat -d <dat_name> -on # Finds a dat by partial name in a seed and shows the full name (for setting properties)
$ datoso dat -d <seed>:<dat_name> --set <property>=<value> # Sets a property of a dat
$ datoso dat -d <seed>:<dat_name> --unset <property> # Unsets a property of a dat
# Doctor
$ datoso doctor [seed] # Validates if all requirements for all seeds are OK
# Deduper
$ datoso deduper -input <input_dat> -p <parent_dat> [-o <output_dat>] # If output dat is not especified, input dat will be overwritten.
optional arguments:
-h, --help show the help message and exit, feel free to append to other commands
-v, --verbose verbose output
-q, --quiet quiet output
Check datoso_seed_base
Be careful when updating dats from datomatic, sometimes they put a captcha, and you may be banned if the captcha fails.
Pull requests are welcome. For major changes, please open an issue first to discuss what you would like to change. Please make sure to update tests as appropriate.
