After reading around and seeing alot of people mention OfflineList and the Data from Advanscene, I decided to download it, but I have absolutely no idea what to do to even get started. I open OfflineList but, theres simply nothing there. All the buttons at the top are grey'd out. I tried to search around myself to find some type of documentation, or guide or tutorial... ANYthing, but have turned up empty. Can anyone kindly point me in the right direction?

 

When I click on the DATS button and select the file I got from Advanscene, after I click open it doesnt seem to do anything. It just goes back to the import screne where I select the DAT again, like nothing happened. All the buttons are still greyed out at the top.

 

What is the filename of your datfile?

 

You cant chose a dat in the window to the left of dats button?

 

Just add the folders you wish offline to use under: Tools/Options/Renamer then you can add new roms (ziped) under: ROMs/Add new ROMs

 

If green it's verified and ready to upload, but you should only rename roms that you have a backup of, you never know what could happen with programs

 

My ROMS are zipped using WINRAR - and when i went to verify them everything goes red!!

Can someone point me in the right direction....

 

I thin I have sorted it out..

Does offline list also extract the .NDS files for you? How can this be done??

 

@Tanas it only write zip and 7zip but can read everything 7zip can (actually I think it may have disabled lzh and some other less common ones but you get the idea).

@cheekydollar it can be done but I do not have the app in front of me: enable the rom selector (under one of the options) and right click on the list and hit add to selector. Then hit one of the pulldown menus and show selector which pops a window up and gives you extraction options, a nice bonus is you can enable a trimmer as well.

 

It's nice to see that this very old piece of software is still very usefull
