- Subset data coverage for games or variants that do/did not have contemporary documentation by upstream database groups, e.g. Virtual Console variants of SNES games, fan translations of NEC PC-98 games, and a superceded squib for PSP Minis.
- Game data for monolithic non-generalized cores, e.g. Cave Story, Doom, Quake, etc.
- Data adapted from upstream sources that cover a relatively small number of systems and can therefore can be housed together in a single repository folder without conflict, e.g. DOS, ScummVM, and GameTDB coverage of GameCube and Wii data. (Though many dats from upstream groups reside in [`metadat`](metadat).)
- [`metadat`](metadat) Several principal third-party DATs (e.g. No-Intro, Redump, MAME, TOSEC) that each cover a large number of systems and therefore require their own folders in the repository, plus various collections of metadata (some of which may be deprecated). Examples:

- [`arcade`](metadat/arcade) Arcade ClrMamePro XML files to allow [manual scanning of the arcade sets](https://docs.libretro.com/guides/arcade-getting-started/#getting-started-with-arcade-emulation).
- [`bbfc`](metadat/bbfc) British Board of Film Classification's ratings for age-appropriateness.
- [`elspa`](metadat/elspa) Age-appropriateness/content ratings from the Entertainment and Leisure Software Publishers Association aka the Association for UK Interactive Entertainment ("Ukie").
- [`fbneo-split`](metadat/fbneo-split) Includes an XML database (sourced from Logiqx's DTD ROM Management) for special use in arcade ROM scanning: it must be manually selected by the user when running a Manual Scan, it defines the component files within each ROM archive, and is not part of the `.rdb` compile. Also contains a typical `.dat`.
