        How do you transform XML Hyperlist to DAT files ?

        I'd like to use clrmamepro in order to clean my Atari800 ROMS: do I have to use a DAT file, or may I also use the XML from Hyperlist ?

        Thanks for any help.

                  @vbs Thank you for the dats and explanations, can you share your tweaked script?
                  The release date mixed with the publisher bothers me a bit.

                  Thank you in advance

                    It is a while ago and I am a bit confused with my stuff but I think this should be the script:

                        Could I get some assistance?
                        I open up clrmamepro and add the .dat file, when I select it and click the 'load/update' button, I click 'default' and get a warning message:
                        "Rom:
                        CHROMEBR_01467_01\CHROMEBR.T64
                        wasn't imported "
                        I can click ok, and it pops back up with the next rom. I can press ok on all of them and it will eventually finish. When I try to run the rebuilder, nothing changes, the names are all the same.
                        Anybody know what is going wrong here?

                          @mtkiddy Yeah I'm seeing the same thing here, not sure what to try. I'm not familiar with this app at all.

                                fair play I used to get all the roms i could. There where too many duplicates though i just stick to the no-intro i know i have the original with no hacks that way

                                  Just to let everyone know I created a renamer for gb64 v15. It is also compatible with other versions and other gamebases. Here it is, it is a simple batch file, created through the database and a spreadsheet. [https://mega.nz/#F!cjBFwIQL!TCjFtUUEjdltJ3mmECPONg](link url)

                                  Instructions on how to convert to other gamebases.

                                  1. Open Database file (in this case it was C:\GameBase\GBC_v15\GBC_v15.mdb)

                                  2. Open the Attached spreadsheet file

                                  3. Copy Full Row of GA_ID, NAME, and Filename from Database to spreadsheet

                                  4. The rest should be automatic, unless there is more than 25,000 entries. In that case you will need to copy d2-F2 to d250001 - D ?? ??=to wherever file list ends

                                  5. On first line of new text file type the path to the games for instance C:\GB64

                                  6. Copy Row D to new text file

                                  7. Save text file as "Name of gamebase renamer.bat"

                                  8. run new text file

                                  9. optional: add Pause at the end of the batch file

                                  10. Optional: Column E shows number of special characters (this mainly finds the letters with tildies and appostrophies)
