Two Database Questions

by **Vintage1945** on Thu Jan 27, 2005 8:47 pm

Hi all --

Two quick things I want to make sure of before I go wasting time tonight messing things up

1. When importing roms into a db I need to have the images in the same directory and have the same file name as the rom correct? (so they are linked automatically)

2. For my roms, I need to create seperate db's for "best", "good", "all" (best_nes, good_nes, best_snes, etc. )and new screens for each, then put them in directories such as:

c:\nes\best
c:\nes\good
c:\nes\all
c:\snes\good
c:\snes\all

And drop the images in each directory as needed correct?

Thanks for the help, just makin sure I understand how the db system works.

One mroe thing, I have over 560 box/cart pics for NES and if anyone would like them let me know.

Also if anyone has the SNES/N64 box/cart pics I would be forever greatful. I dont want to have to manually d/l these. But if I have to, anyone here is welcome to them.

Or can I specify the images directory in the import field?

that seems logical after thinking about it

fyi for anyone who cares, i had to place the pics in the same dir as the roms

If you can wait for one week, I will give you a link :wink:

And I think you should wait for an application that we are trying to built, Ithink you will be happy and that will give you free time....

Thanks for the offer, but I'm impatient as they come. Right now im doing it manually, but I would love to use the application if I don't finish.

I have all the pics for nes/snes/n64 from funcoland.com (1,300+), but I haven't finished renaming them yet. Anyone is welcome to them, and if someone wants to host them, let me know

It's the least I can do to give back to this kickass app.

we will need some pics to finalize our database, so maybe we will ask you for these... or maybe I will ask to everybody if anyone want to help us to finalize the databases...

Later,
