Oric1 Software List?

Unless I'm missing something obvious, I don't think there is a software list for the Oric1 (or Atmos), the early 80s home computer from Tangerine.

Is this just because no-one has done it, rather than any specific legal problem?

Should I make one?

If so:
1. Is there any tooling to help edit the XML file, or just any editor of my choice?
2. How complete does it have to be to be included? I think there are about 200 games to document, but I may lose the will before completing.
3. Any suggestions for creating the 'official' checksums? Can I just generate from the games I have, or do I need to search for every dump image out there. It was tape based if that affects the answer.

Re: Oric1 Software List?

You're not wrong there is no SL for Oric in MAME, and the machine has good status (works well).

There is info here https://docs.mamedev.org/contributing/softlist.html

You can have a look at TOSEC (others have already compiled lists).

Do a CRTL+F for "oric"

Would be trivial to transform TOSEC data to MAME SL data. It would be an easy win, if it's acceptable?

Re: Oric1 Software List?

Thanks Sam,
That looks very useful. Is it possible to download the raw json data? I can get the system lists from the swagger page, but can't work out how to get the full software list for the Oric.
Cheers,
Erik
