# RetroArch Database
RetroArch incoporates a ROM scanning system to automatically produce playlists. Each ROM that is scanned by the playlist generator is checked against a database of ROMs that are known to be good copies.
## Contents
- [`cht`](cht) Cheats to various games
- [`cursors`](cursors) Provides methods in order to query the playlists
- [`dat`](dat) Customized DAT files, maintained by the libretro team
- [`metadat`](metadat) Different metadata and third-party DATs available to the systems
- [`rdb`](rdb) The compiled RetroArch database files
- [`scripts`](scripts) Various scripts that are used to maintain the database files
## Sources
Generally, RetroArch's scanner is configured for ROMs that have been validated by [No-Intro](http://datomatic.no-intro.org) or Redump DAT files but many other source databases are also in use.
