[Read the thread](https://github.com/unexpectedpanda/retool/issues/337)\r\nfor more information on what this means.\r\n\r\n\u003e [!TIP]\r\n\u003e **This is the source repository for Retool. For downloads, installation instructions, and\r\n  documentation, see the [website](https://unexpectedpanda.github.io/retool/).**\r\n\r\nRetool is a filter utility for [Redump](http://www.redump.org/) and [No-Intro](https://datomatic.no-intro.org/index.php?page=download)\r\nDAT files. By customizing the DAT files before you load them into a ROM manager, you can more\r\neffectively trim, consolidate, and deduplicate your ROM sets.\r\n\r\n![A screenshot of the main Retool screen](https://unexpectedpanda.github.io/retool/images/main-app.png)\r\n\r\nRetool offers the following features:\r\n\r\n* Superior One Game, One ROM (1G1R) functionality compared to other tools.\r\n\r\n* Priority-based region and language filtering.\r\n\r\n* Exclusions of unwanted titles like demos, applications, and more.\r\n\r\n* Custom regular expression filters for including or excluding titles.\r\n\r\n* Local filenames for titles, such as \u003ccode\u003eシャイニング·フォースⅡ 『古の封印』\u003c/code\u003e\r\n  instead of \u003ccode\u003eShining Force II - Inishie no Fuuin\u003c/code\u003e.\r\n\r\n* CLI and GUI versions.\r\n\r\nYou add your DAT files to Retool, and it creates new DAT files with all your preferences,\r\nleaving the originals intact. You can then load the new DAT files in a ROM manager like\r\n[RomVault](https://www.romvault.com/), [CLRMamePro](https://mamedev.emulab.it/clrmamepro/),\r\nor [IGIR](https://www.igir.io) to do your file management \u0026mdash; you just don't need to\r\nuse their 1G1R modes, as Retool has already done the work for you.\r\n\r\nRetool is supported on Windows 10+, Ubuntu 20+, and macOS 15+. Non-compiled versions\r\nrequire Python 3.10 or higher.\r\n\r\n## Contribute to Retool\r\n\r\nIf you've found something Retool has missed, like a clone or a local name for a title, you\r\ncan contribute to Retool's clone lists at their [dedicated repository](https://github.com/unexpectedpanda/retool-clonelists-metadata).\r\n","funding_links":[],"categories":["Python"],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funexpectedpanda%2Fretool","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Funexpectedpanda%2Fretool","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Funexpectedpanda%2Fretool/lists"}
