Description
Hi there,
Regarding Commodore 64 rdbs, I noticed on the source that in April, Rob Loach added TOSEC entries to the libretro dat files section, but these entries have not appeared in the rdb databases yet (as of retroarch 1.9.7, July).
Any idea when these expanded dats will be compiled into the rdbs included in the retroarch distributions?
Scanning for Commodore 64 is still a pretty paltry experience, with only the lesser used "cartridges" being recognised and thumbnailed rather than the expansive disk and tape collections.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start by examining the libretro DAT files section and the process that produces the distribution RDB databases. Confirm how the Commodore 64 disk and tape entries are compiled, then verify that the expanded collections appear in the resulting distribution databases.
