Zaparoo Core v2.7.0 is now available! This is a massive release with some fundamental improvements to how Zaparoo works. Title IDs are now the default way to identify games, making your tokens portable between devices and platforms. We've also added a powerful tags system, completely overhauled the media database for better performance, added playtime limits for parental controls, full Linux desktop support, and a ton of platform-specific improvements across MiSTer, Windows, and Batocera.

Part 2! Continuing on from my last article where we discussed the problem of game matching in Zaparoo, and the iterations we went through so far to try solve it.

Before I begin, I want to give a big shout out to:

• The GameDatabase project by PigSaint which was a big inspiration for the final tags list used in the tags system I'm discussing today. If you've got a couple dollars to spare I highly recommend supporting his work on Patreon. GameDatabase is a very ambitious project where he's trying to personally curate and categorise as many games as possible from scratch. He's defined a unique tagging system for this which I think will be a lot of fun to use with Zaparoo one day.
• And BossRighteous again, who had the foresight to actually add a tags system at the very beginning and set me on the right track.
