DataBase : How to

[jedah]

Tom i see on your Website you have asked for help creating Database files for GameEx . How do you go about doing this. Also when creating them is it possible to add more filters. If so would it be possible to add Region specific ones.

I can create a database for NES when I get back from my ski trip this weekend. It will look just like the SNES one that I made. I havent had a chance to get sophisticated in leeching all the important data that we need for our gameex databases.

mrroboto ... since you provided me with the initial links. Can you post all the links to all the systems on the wikipedia. I am sure they have all the major game systems in there. I can make start databases with each.

I agree with you Jedah!!!

The region option in the filters is a very interesting option to see only europe games or jap games...

If i can help doing a database of any plataform, please tell me how to do it.

Thanks a lot.

there was a post recently where tom showed how you can have all your roms filtered via a *(U)* action on the ROMS filter. The way Tom has it setup is consistent with the MAME section in his system. Although it might not accomodate every kind of different filter that everyone wants. Its still got a lot of power compared to any other system. Adding new fields to any database just takes a lot of work.

Mobygames is another excellent source for game information for the databases.
