Re: fix *only* principal rompath destination, secondary add paths

Create a new DB from the datafile and add a new roms folder in which copy only the files you wish to check/fix. In any case, have a backup of your roms somewhere, just in case something goes wrong. RomCenter has protection though (when it deletes files, it can be configured to move them to the Recyc...

Re: Which .conf file contains my rompath(s)?

Nope. .rdt is a binary database file, so no manual editing is possible.

Re: Which .conf file contains my rompath(s)?

Hello and welcome here.

All data (including rompaths) are stored in the database file (the one with .rdt extension).

Hi there. In Romcenter "Options", you can define the language you prefer. From personal experience though, i can say that the combination of Windows and .NET is rather tricky on the language matter. If on your PC, you have downloaded a .net framework in a specific language, then there are some error...

Re: Unable to run RC 4.0.0 portable

Re: Is 3.7.1 still supported?

Hi.

Search the forums, but IIRC, the mame dat files are not directly compatible with RC3.71 any more. RC4 final was released a couple of weeks ago, which is based on .NET 4.0 (which is compatible with Windows XP). Download the zip (non-install version) and try it out to see if it works.

No problem. Have fun with it and remember, it's always good practice to have a backup of your roms somewhere. It's still not an official release, although as Eric (the developer) said, the final RC4 version should be out soon.

Re: How to "upgrade" to a newer version

Hi there,

Personally when upgrading RC4 version x to version y, i just copy the new files over the old ones and execute RC. This retains the old settings. Then, when opening a database, it is just upgraded to the new version (when necessary) and all paths are also retained.
