How and where do you implement game descriptions? Is there a database or file i can download?  Where is it placed? I would like to have a game description or history info show in my theme as it is just blank now. Also can it be for each emulator like mame, nes, genesis, etc.?

Hi, for MAME you will need help from the creators, maybe a tool to customize the list would be great. The file is the "gamelist.txt" in the data folder of GameEx.

The data for mame is directly imported from the official MAME dats and sadly If your rom is not the original the description will be " that is a clone blablabla for more infos go to the original XX game." Game Ex is not blame here but a tool could help. sigh

About Emulators, you can download the databases from this site they are *.db3 files and go to "GameEx/DATA/EMULATORS". To have your roms match the databases it's better to have them with the nointro naming convention.

Don't forget to link the database in the emulator setup to the correct Application !
