To add a new dat click DATS at the bottom of Offline List, click IMPORT, select the dat that you have downloaded from ADVANsCEne and click open.

Select Tools/Options/Renamer and check Use Renamer to use the renaming function.

To download updated dats and new pics: Tools/Update "check" what you want to download and "check" the dat that you will download to.

 

It occurs to me that I probly wont even know what to do with it once I got it up and running correctly anyway. There really should be some sort of basic readme included with it.

Basically all I wanted to use it for was to verify my roms and make sure they are all up to snuff before loading em to my DS. If thats all I wanted to do, can I just go to Advanscene.com and use their release list to compare rom size and the crc with the ones I've downloaded?

Wow, dont I feel stupid. I somehow totally missed the dropdown window next to the DAT button. Thanks for the help there NDSFreak.

I still dont really know what exactly I am doing from here, but at least I can bring up the games and see the info on em. All I want to do is verify the roms I have downloaded. Is that simple?

 

Ah ok, I think I got it. So after I add the rom, and it gets verfied (by the green color) then that means the rom is a clear go to upload to my DS now? Also, after it moves to the verified roms folder, can I delete the initial unverfied rom now?

 

Excellent. Thanks for all the help NDSFreak, really appreciate it. Maybe this thread will help other noobs such as myself who are just getting into this stuff.

 

It only supports zips and 7z I think.

 

Rar isnt the same as 7z they are totally different.

 

Thanks for this post, it really helped me with my roms.
