        @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

              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)
