Bloody great

A great place is Emumovies, Circo has a great collection of images. Torrents can be another good source of image packs - though seeders are a bit rarer

Sorry... This is a mistake in the original loader that was corrected a while ago and I sent the updated loader to Tom to replace the one on the download. Sadly, this has not happened. Tom has been VERY busy at the moment, so (much as I would like to), I can't have a moan at him.. in the ini:- Debug=True MAPFile= AlsoLaunch= Command=scummvm.exe --fullscreen --joystick -p "G:\arcade\lucasarts\roms\ [ROM]" [ROM] OLDatZip= LaunchBefore= change that line to:- Debug=True MAPFile= AlsoLaunch= Command=scummvm.exe --fullscreen --joystick -p "G:\arcade\lucasarts\roms\[ROM]" [ROM] OLDatZip= LaunchBefore= Remove the space after "...arts\roms\" I really hope this solves the problem you are having. Please let me know!

I am quite happy to contribute, but would like more of an indication of what the overal outcome would be? I have not looked into the 9.63 update as yet but certainly like the idea.

what browser are you using? and you are just using a single left-click and it is not parsing the scummvm file? Hmmm.. shoved it here for ya! ScummVM.zip

The link works for me? both single click and right click save as? The linkclick should force the download of scummvm.zip? It does here?

I have updated the forum.. Upside: Looks much better now and has more functionallity.. Downside: Members need to re-register... HK: Can you check it out please ? ? ?

That is too strange??? I am now working on a new forum (why - i really don't know), this should be A LOT better, and cleaner. Please have a look tomorrow night. Sadly, it will involve re-registering... Tempest: I will give you your stats back - anything to keep you happy. The forum will be gone for a while...

Thanks HK. There is a little bit of lens distortion that can easily be corrected in Photoshop.. Can upload an uncompressed one to the website? Thanks for the reg on the forum thing. The software is a bit iffy I must admit, though I could not get it to do any of what you mentioned? I will look in to it with my special looking eyes. Again, Thanks and hope you liked the new content?

No, I was not pointing a finger at you Just a general mutter. Brutaldeluxe had offered a picture of a Binatone games system and you mentioned a TI-99/4A, and someone else offered something on another of my posts, cant remember what though? The site has had a little update and i just bought an Acorn Atom which I will add soon. Added the 2 playstation versions though - that may be off interest to theme designers?? PS. Just ate far too much fillet steak and have hiccups now keep miss typing

i was just wondering, what happened to these offers of pictures from my esteemed forum members?

Yes. I did use the Add dir on the commodore 64 and it appeaes to work a treat in the same fashion at the add missing command. I will try it on the Naomi one when I get round to updating the images. Thanks HK.

I am so excited that I just did a little bit of a wee.... Please don't tell the wife, I am still wearing her knickers. PS. Ages ago, there was a request of a new Gameex icon. Is there one that is fully scalable in vista? I would be qiute nice to have a new icon with gameex upon download. So, is there any chance of embedding alternative icons in the executable or within an icon.dll or such like?

Or... Download Zips in future. (or 7z).. BK's solution will work fine otherwise.. Well done BK on such a quick solution.

Thanks HK.. will have another play tonight. I will upload all new XML's when I post Tom the mdb's next week to the usual place..

Just to stick my 2 penneth in. One thing that you all miss regarding 7zip, zip, and rar is the time they take to decompress. If this is a consideration (it really should be), you are always best to use Zip. The decompress speed is way ahead of 7zip (by MILES) and also quicker than rar. When you are talking archives that contain files of 600megs or more, every second counts and the difference between 7zip and Zip can be minutes! I wrote a simple dos batch script to scan a directory, unpack each rar/7z, and then recompress as a zip using the same name as the rar/7z original. It took a while but was well worth it. I know this can be a pain when your archives are downloaded as rars (though they are also about in zips), but it really is worth the effort. Also, 7zip and rar extraction is slower in Vista as it is in Xp??

That must have been one hell of an AHK script. I just used F2 on the wife and pressed DEL on the dog. Sadly I had accidently CTRL clicked the plasma TV as well I checked the recycle bin, but it was just full of cardboard and plastic bottles

My boss "HK" told me to... Anyway - I like to keep him busy, but... Thanks anyway Tempest... (I still won't let you off for failing me with the Channel F though ) Cheers!

HK, I have posted the C64 xml as I need your help. In the name field, many (most) of the names have the bracketed goodbase numbers after them. This is the after effect of add missing with brackets on. I needed the brackets in the goodname part but not in the name part. If there any way you can run a quick script to remove them (leaving them in the goodname). I tried but between red wine, excessive ebay bidding, and the chimes of 4am - I failed... Ps. Won an Acorn Atom (boxed) for £175 ($274 or $407 AUD) on Ebay last night... That will be a nice one to add to the gallery (and a Sharp MZ700). Ps. Done pictures of PSone and original Playstation ready to add to that gallery that my esteemed friend has still not found the time to register on.. So, pretty please on the c64 xml. EDIT: Another option is Wildcard matching in search and replace. This would be a good idea if partial replace only occured in S&R when wildcards are used and remained a strict replace without them. I could them search for "*(*)" in the name field and replace with "". Hm... Problem is this would replace things like "Zybex (preview)" with "Zybex", and would also to ALL db's rather than be confined to just the c64 one. Wildcards could be of use when it comes to compilation packs and the occurence of multiple developers seperated by ", ". Oh well, just the mutterings of a man with a hangover. I don't drink, but had half a bottle of wine last night... big mistake!! :) _PC__Commodore_64.7z (

Ha Ha... I wish no one did. The db would be done 10x quicker.

I know Thing is, when you start a fresh db, the first thing to do is go through it all and try to match orphaned data. This takes a while, before even starting. The problem with the whole nintendo thing is the sheer amount of Japanese games (and these hardly ever start with "super"), so - in the end it pretty much evens itself out... in that case you are wrong But i will give you one point for effort

Thanks again HK. you are on a roll here Getting through the SNES. It is amazing how many Japanese games have no data on them anywhere. Spent over an hour on one game and all I could work out from a Japanese translation was that it was a "managament sim based around a Japanese newpaper". Not very descriptive. Must order my "Learn Japanese in 2 weeks" audiobook. Does not sound like much, but am into the "B"'s and I could not find any bugs, so well done for finding any. Thanks as always FLASH

Mine just sits there when not playing films, gathering dust - which is something that the ps3 could do in a vacume...

I bought my Ps3 on fist day of uk releaae and this is now only my third game purchase. Singstar for the kids Buzz! for me and now this!! Apart from that, it has been a dvd player and ok-ish media streamer. But, now I have discovered it can also be a arcade game system!!!
