Edit: A third way, if I recall correctly, is to use the Skraper app from skraper.net. It uses a GUI to let you scrape metadata and assets from screenscraper.fr (and, hopefully, maybe import some of your own art and assets?) and I believe it also builds a gamelist.xml for you. I think I used this method the first time I set up an RG351M on 351ELEC, and the metadata format used there applies to many of the games... Source: 10 months ago
You can give Skraper a look at skraper.net. You'll need a free screenscraper.fr account, and there are daily limits to how much you can scrape without waiting or paying them a bit, but you should be able to poke around and see what's there. Source: 12 months ago
Bonus points if you make this compatible with emulators... recalbox.com and other distros focused on emulators would probably love a way to keep a global score of the best players across all games ever made. Source: over 2 years ago
