Commodore 64 - GameBase64 v15 - Renamed using Commodore 64 Hyperspin GBv15 and fixed with correct file extensions

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.

i dont know why you guys dont just use the nointo 1g1r dat from the website. Is there any reason not to do it this way?

vbs

Lots of stuff missing for me in that collection.

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.

Open Database file (in this case it was C:\GameBase\GBC_v15\GBC_v15.mdb)
Open the Attached spreadsheet file
Copy Full Row of GA_ID, NAME, and Filename from Database to spreadsheet
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
On first line of new text file type the path to the games for instance C:\GB64
Copy Row D to new text file
Save text file as "Name of gamebase renamer.bat"
run new text file
optional: add Pause at the end of the batch file
Optional: Column E shows number of special characters (this mainly finds the letters with tildies and appostrophies)
