The main content of this site is on /_data/list.csv.

Column	Description
`game`	Title of the game
`ep`	Episode number where the game was discussed
`ytid`	YouTube video ID for the episode
`seconds`	Timestamp (in seconds) where the game appears in the video
`screenshot`	Filename of the game’s image in the Libretro Thumbnails repository
`wiki_line`	Line number for the game in _data/licensed_games.csv or _data/unlicensed_games.csv. Prefixed with `l_` or `u_` to indicate the source file.

The template will try to find the content for screenshot and wiki_line automatically based on the game title.

Due to GitHub Pages restrictions (no custom code), this is limited to simple string matching using Jekyll’s where_exp filter. When the automatic search fails, you'll have to manually add the content.

You can search for the content in data.html.
