[RESOLVED] Remove bracketed text strangeness...

[DazzleHP]

Hi all,

I probably seem a bit new here but i've been lingering for over a year now! (a bit weird as i feel i know most y'all quite well and you aint got a scooby who i am!) What i'm getting at is that i feel i've come to get to know GameEx quite well but as i've added an emu i can't get rid of the bracketed text! ARRRRGH! To be clear i mean this (in bold):

Super Barbies Fun Playhouse Smash (U)(J)(RDM)[PAL][WEIRD][!]

To clarify i have "Remove Text in Brackets: Yes" set on this and ALL the emus i have setup but the Atari 2600 is the only one not complying! Did i miss something? I should be getting this:

Super Barbies Fun Playhouse Smash - correct?

Incase it matters:

XP Pro - SP3

Custom Theme - based on Monochrome

Atari 2600 EMU - Stella 3.4.1

ANY pointers or suspicions would be appreciated! I like to dig into things myself so don't feel you gotta write an essay or babysit, just a lil... kick =)

Thanks again and oh just incase *tips hat to Mr Speirs* crackin piece of software!

PS above remark was a genuine compliment to Tom, no arse-licking was either intended or necessary.

EDIT - Solution

Solution provided by celly:

You should delete the cache file for that emulator and see if rebuilding that fixes it. Open the DATA file in the GameEx install folder, find the specific emulator by its number (check the Setup Wizard to see what number you have Atari 2600 as) and delete the cache files. These will rebuild upon startup.

Have you tried using the database for the Atari 2600? You can set that up within each specific emulator, inside the setup wizard. So games not only are trimmed up (brackets removed and so on) but also you'll get the description and info as well for each ROM.

Yeah i just loaded config to make sure and yes it is selected (i will always use a gameex db if one is available and is not specialist ie GameBase) i even tried "Use Database Name" option but no difference =(

Thanks for your lightning reply though!

Hmm. Was this a new problem since an update or something? You should delete the cache file for that emulator and see if rebuilding that fixes it. Open the DATA file in the GameEx install folder, find the specific emulator by its number (check the Setup Wizard to see what number you have Atari 2600 as) and delete the cache files.
