Hacking Rominator Database Update info

[Rascal]

It's a shame for us Mac users as there isn't anything else decent for Mac OS X and I don't want to have to manage my ROMS/Cards in a Windows Emulator.

Don't you worry -- I haven't given up on Rominator yet. I really want to show you what I have up my sleeve but I can't yet until I can have a stable beta ready :/

Let's just say you'll be pleasantly surprised

Sounds as very good news to me!

In the meantime, I can only hope that the database updates keep coming at a regular basis.
Speaking of which, the current 4179 update arrived, so I gonna do some checking

edit: checked and verified, seems correct to me.

thanks for the update

Hello@all...

...I,ve contacted Hankchill by EMail many times ,i've asked him about the Database Update Delay(Current 4179).
I know there are other things to do,but until now we've a delay about 100 Games!
(Newest Release 4290).
I also asked him about the "Number not Matching with Rom Name and Official Release List" Problem?
But still there is no answer.
(is the Prob with the Update 4179 fixed?,is there still something to do to get it in the right way?)

Please give us a Update of the database.

Hank has some personal issues keeping him away from Rominator. Mr. Seiko volunteered to update the database until Hank can get back to Rominator. If you don't get a response in this thread, your next step is to PM Mr. Seiko.

I said it when I first used rominator, but I'll say it again.
Why not just use the advanscene lists instead of compiling your own and spending so much time doing something advanscene already do?

@Nollog

....the List from AdvanceScene is a .Dat File,Rominator uses .Rod File?

or do i misunderstand you?

Greetz

 

[Nollog]

Yea, why use a .rod sqlite format file that you have to make yourself when there's a very open way of doing it already established?

@Nollog

How can i use a .dat file with Rominator?

If you actually looked at the Offlinelist dat file you'd see there's actually very little detail in it, so something like Rominator which needs more info needs it's own data file. Why not look into the info yourself before asking people why they use their own list?

 

[Nollog]

I've used the lists myself before, I know exactly what they contain (crc, game name, region, everything you need to rename the file).
If you want to add extra information to a list, I see it as simpler to lookup the game id on sites like gbatemp when/if the user wants to see the info.

Advanscene used to be pretty up to date on things, but I've found in the past few months that they've been pretty lax in doing their updates. I'm not sure if they're on a bi-weekly update schedule or something, but they seem to be constantly a few weeks behind on their lists.

more than 100 roms behind!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this the end for rominator?

i hope not

 

[rmanal]

Nobody to continue Rominator ;-)

Hello....

@Mr. Seiko please can you give us an update in the Database Progress?

the thing is not that youre not updating the Database,but there were no informations about whats getting wrong,what took so long,how long would it take since Rominator is already "up to Date",

We are all Fans,Gamer and we love Rominator!!!!

It is the best prog to get the roms into "Collection".



Only a Sign what is the Future?

Yes please we like so much Rominator.

 

[xtreme1]

anybody notice new roms disappear when you you add them to your list now for some reason?

 

[sl33py]

Any word if there will be any more updates to the database?

 

[gacdss]

Any good suggestions for an alternative to Rominator? I love the program, however the lack of any news either good or bad is frustrating.
