OpenGood is a freely-available distribution of XML DAT files for ROMs that are listed in the April 3rd, 2016 distribution of the GoodTools suite of ROM auditing applications. It is made available here for historical preservation purposes. These DATs are sourced from highly outdated collections of ROMs. To remain openly distributable, OpenGood was compiled using publicly available data, and was not reverse engineered from the GoodTools suite. As a result, some DAT files may be incomplete. The corresponding have and miss lists are available under the havelists directory. This also means that OpenGood DATs include MD5 hash information, in addition to the CRC32 and SHA1 hashes that GoodTools provides. DAT files are available under the dats directory and are in Standard Logqix DAT format. They are versioned with the version number of GoodTools used to verify the completeness of the ROM set. Because OpenGood is a historical preservation project, updates will be very rare; in the case new information is available, the corresponding DAT file will be updated accordingly without a version update.
