Yeah. The base problem is redump doesnt have parent clone. Some of MAME has it, retool has the currently basically static version. The name inference is ok for some of them because they are just basically the same name but diff regions. Others are in the native language or just totally different names but same game. Then there is TOSEC. That is a monster I have been trying to figure out what to do with and has similar problems as redump. No-intro and MAME are pretty good with its relationship metadata. The other two not so much. Some websites have it for particular systems but kinda not a cool move to scrape them. One of the cool parts I liked out of retool was its compilation part where there could be three games and it is in another 'game' thigs like '5 in 1'. Which is where p/c falls apart.
