Description

The description object holds information related to the clone list itself, and is always at the top of the file. It is mandatory to include.

Structure

A description object looks similar to the following example:

"description": {
  "name": "Sony - PlayStation (Redump)",
  "lastUpdated": "26 December 2023",
  "minimumVersion": "2.02"
}

A description object contains the following keys:

Key Type Description
name str The system name and release group of the DAT file the clone list is related to.
lastUpdated str The last time the clone list was updated, in DD-MMMM-YYYY format.
minimumVersion str

The minimum version of Retool required to understand all of the features of the clone list.

The minimumVersion key is the only data in the description used by Retool, the rest is to make parsing and updating the clone list easier for humans.
