## scrom
**Description**
`Scrom` is an application that allows you to download ROMs for various emulation systems.
These ROMs are retrieved from [Archive.org](https://archive.org), a site that references
numerous consoles, platforms, and applications related to emulation.
This application was developed in Python with the GTK3 graphical library.
The Bash script `scrom.sh` launches the application and manages the addition of new systems.
It scans the `/links` directory for new `.dat` files. These data files contain the system name,
uploader ID, file extension, and system pages. The pages are scanned for ROM download links.
Finally, these links are inserted into a database.
The names of the data files correspond to the system name associated with the uploader ID.
Example : `links/dreamcast_retrogamechampion.dat` :
```
dreamcast
retrogamechampion
