Gamebase 64 problems

[Subzero]

Ok I have gamebase 64, I have downloaded the entire HVSC collection, but when I run gamebase and point it towards the HVSC folder, it says im missing over 16000 SIDS, how can this be???

Have you looked under the sofa?

I have 2 words for you chris...




...dontbe silly....

this is really pissing me off, it wont find my SIDS at all

[Vosla]

Sorry.

Don't know Gamebase64 by heart but it may simply expect the SIDs to be at a specific place and maybe that changed with the new installment of the HVSC.

Try downloading this http://www.gb64.com/files/gb64v05.exe
Then install it and point it to your HVSC folder.
Works fine for me.
Its just the GB64 v05 Database file if you are concerned about downloading an exe file

I would imagine you have to match version of Game64 to version of HVSC??

[skitz]

What Analog-X said.... I think the Gamebase is at least couple of versions behind

[Mayhem]

The latest GB64v5 is based on HVSC 47...

Go into Gamebase, click Tool > Paths, now make sure all the tabs (Games, HVSC, Screenshots, Extras, Photos) have the correct paths set. You may need to delete an old assignment (click on it, then click the red X to delete the old one), then the page icon to create a new assignment. Click OK to finish, then immediately go to Tools > Verify available files. Tick all the boxes EXCEPT check CRC and wait.

merman - done that...over and over and over again!!! still finds nothing!!!

[merman]

Have you done a fresh install of the actual Gamebase frontend, or copied the new database over your old install?

[Subzero]

Fresh install - innit

Ok now im onto ZX Gamebase but I have a problem, all my zip files are named differently to what gamebase expects - is there a file in gamebase I can change so it finds the filenames WITHOUT tzx in the zips name??
