I read the retropi forums and the documentation and couldn't find a way to do this, therefore using this template.

Describe the feature / request
I have some ROMs that are hacks/homebrews/customs and that are not found by any scraping modules. I would love to be able to give a parameter to skyscraper to integrate these in the gamelist.xml. A sort of "i know what i am doing here" option.

Did i miss something and is there a way to actually do that?

Additional context
some in-development, or obscure, experimental ROMs, or some homebrew will never be in game databases, yet we may want to have them as part of our collections! amazing work with skyscraper by the way! <3

@gabuzom i use the local import (for artwork) and esgamelist (for textual data) modules for this.

gather the required artworks, place them in your import folder, scrape the import module, make your gamelist. Then, add your textual data to the gamelist (via EmulationStation or w/e) and then scrape the esgamelist module to cache the text. (You can also import the textual data but I already have gamelists so it was easier for me to just do it that way.)
