I’m no programmer. That said, MAMEUI and other front ends and emulators use history.dat to provide info in the GUI. So it can’t be too hard.
It looks to me like the format is:
$info=romname,
$bio
blaa blaa blaa history here
$end
So search the file for the rom name and just grab the bio section, right? It may sound like I’m being a smart-ass but I promise you I’m not :) Just trying to be helpful
