[mythtv] MythGame - Gathering metadata using crc's

I noticed the beginnings of code for some kind of ROM lookup based on
crc's. But all of the functions look like this:
void NES_Meta(QString CRC32, QString* GameTitle, QString* Genre,
int* Year, QString* Country)
{
*Year = 1970;
*Country = QObject::tr("Unknown");
*Genre = QObject::tr("UnknownNES");
}
I realize this is simply a placeholder for the real, upcoming method,
and that's what I'm wondering. What method are you using to determine
the data? Are you building a database, or is there a website or
service that holds such a database? If you're building it, I imagine
that will take an exceedingly long time given the thousands of games.
Just curious to the state of this so that I can see if there is any
way I can help. I'd love to see this in action someday.
