I have all of my C64 roms in Gamebase format. Way too many files for me. I downloaded the No-intro dat for C64, and tried to build a no-intro set from my Gamebase roms. CMP says something like "either I have my path is wrong, or all of my roms are named wrong" No shit, that's why I'm trying to rename them. I tried RomCenter, same results. I'm assuming that I can't do this. Am I missing something?

BTW: all of the guides for CMP that I have found are for mame, and I have used it for mame with good results.

This is not my area of expertise (assuming I have one), but do you have the dat file to go with your set? AFAIK, in order to run your set through either RC or CMP, you need to have a compatible dat file.

Yeah, I downloaded the No-intro dat, I thought it would pick out the best file from my gamebase set for me, and give it a comprehensible name...maybe not?

I got you tempest. What extension do your current ROMs have? I would rebuild them instead of fixing just to be safe.

Just IM me and I'll guide you through it.

my c64 rom folder looked really messy before i gave goodgb64 a try. i downloaded the dat file, fired up clrmamepro, added the dat as profile, double clicked on it, then on default. after that I clicked on the rebuilder (i assume you know the steps anyway ) and it found 360 roms out of 6000. It zipped the files and renamed them appropriately. Can somebody maybe pm me a good source for downloading a c64 collection. Some roms like giana sisters and international karate are missing now

I had a similar problem, and used the goodgb64 dat (get it here - http://www.emuhq.com/attachment.php?id=42

The archive should be extracted to the dir containing GB64 roms. Use gbc2long.bat to convert roms, it will rename to c64 zips to more meaningful zips and place them in a gb64ren folder. Now, use cmpro thingy and add the "Gamebase64 - Licensed V2.03.dat" to the dat database using default settings. go to rebuild, point to your roms for source and then select the gb64ren dir as your destination and rebuild. I used this system to convert 15,100 gb64 zips.

The file structure of the resulting zips is not perfect, but works fine for me. ie. '1994_00023_01.zip' becomes '1994 - Ten Years After (23).zip'.

I tried to create sets using other dats (toesec and no-intro I think!) and only got a few hundred to build. So I will stick with the GB64 set.

The GB64 set also has the bonus that multiple disks are contained in one zip (disk1 of 2, disk2 of 2, etc). This is handy when using my config as when CCS requires a disk change, press f10 and the unpacked files are all there ready to select the next! Not sure if this also works with GameEx's built in zip support?

Hope this helps Tempest!

If you get stuck, feel free to use google :)

Chriss - You should be able to find the full V2 get of GB64 roms, or download a complete Gamebase64 setup with roms (can't tell you where - say hello to google). I used a fresh v2 set and as i say, using the method above, build 15,100 roms. There does not seem to be any roms worth mentioning missing - good luck.

Asking where to get roms breaks the forums rules. Thanks for your cooperation.

It always scares me now whenever i see you have replied to a post just after me... I am a nervous wreck! The medication I have to take is something terrible. Sleeping tablets at night, valium during the day.. I have to keep away from bright lights and loud noises
