Hello Guest.

I assume you have downloaded v2.x of RomCenter and not v3 alpha. In there, you have to select your datafile in the list (combobox) that appears in the toolbar. After you have done that, you have to press CTRL+O (add rom path) and select the path in which you have saved the actual files on your hard disk. That's all.

First you have to select your datafile in the list (combobox) that appears in the toolbar in order to be able to add a rompath. If you have done that, try drag-n-drop from Windows Explorer to RC (the left part of the window which contains the tree). If this does not work either, you can edit the INI file and add it manually (search for "RomPaths="). There shouldn't be a need to do that though. Drag-n-drop usually works OK.
