Not true, only AUTO UPDATING is for registered users. Standard users can still download the database.
QUOTESame here. How does Rominator look for the correct location of hte cheat file?? - I mean does it search for the file depending on the flash card type or does it look up a relative path considering the chosen card type??
Clearer: I have an M3 Real, chose it BUT while creating I did not choose the root directory of the card for the ROMS and I did not choose NDS. I chose a different folder. Now when Rominator tries to locate the cheats.db does it maybe thing the Rom directory is root or NDS and tries to access SYSTEM and that doesn't work or does it really search for a file called cheats.db??
Rominator looks for the correct location based on the flash card you select. It's pre-programmed to know the correct location of the folder where the cheats go to. Here's the process it takes:
• It doesn't matter WHERE on your flash card the game folder is set to, it can be E:\Games\My Games\Favourite Games, and Rominator will scan back until it finds the root of the drive.
• Rominator will then check to see if the folder for the cheats exists (aka if it's CycloDS Evolution, it will look for the 'CycloDS' folder. Or if it's an R4, it will look for the '_system_' folder.). If it does not exist, Rominator creates it.
• Once that passes, it downloads the cheat database, and overwrites the existing one.
Send me feedback through Rominator and provide the following information:
• Your OS
• Flash card type selected
• The path of your flash card chosen in Rominator.
I'll do some testing this weekend.
