+ | Plugins are used by romcenter to calulate the file crc and size. Its main work is to recognize the rom format, skip header datas and process roms datas so | ||
+ | that two roms of a same game in different format return only one size and crc. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Here is an example of three roms with different crc and different size: | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | With the standart plugin, the crc is calculated on the whole files, including the header. | ||
+ | |||
+ | Now, if we switch to a dedicated plugin (here, nes.dll), the nes format is understood (ffe, nes, unf) and the file appears to be the same game. | ||
+ | |||
+ | {{: | ||
+ | |||
+ | Using plugins, you only need to store one crc and one size in the datafile to recognize all formats. | ||
