[RESOLVED] How to Reset Game Stats

[Koop]

Hi, I'm trying to figure out how to reset the "number of times played" stat for 2 MAME games. I use these 2 games for testing purposes (one for 4-player controls and the other for spinner controls) and because of that I've launched them a ton of times and so their stats for "number of times played" are inflated. I'd like to only reset (or preferably manually change it to a smaller number) for just these 2 games. Is that data stored in a config file somewhere? Thanks.

The play counts are stored in a database so cannot be adjusted by just a simple edit in Notepad unfortunately. However, if you are comfortable with editing databases manually then go ahead and open:

\GameEx\DATA\DATA.db3

in your preferred DB manager and reset the play counts for the games you require.

I have a development plugin that i use to edit this. Maybe i should pretty it up and release it for an end user?

Thanks a lot. In that case I'm probably not going to worry about this, at least for now because it's really not a big deal. But that explains why I couldn't find that data in the config files
