The GameBase Frontend

How can I skip the load-up database selector window?
Just run GameBase with the name (folder name) of the GameBase database you wish to load as a command line parameter. E.g. GameBase.exe MyDatabase.

The GB-Toolbox

How do I get rid of that annoying messagebox when GB-Toolbox starts?
You can skip the message by running the toolbox with the -EXPERT command line parameter. This will also hide the MS Access warning when you double click the database .mdb files. If you still want to see the MS Access warning, run the toolbox with the -NOMSGBOX command line parameter instead.

Using GEMUS

Does GameBase support rom 'directories'?
Well, yes, but you'll have to zip your rom directories. Once zipped, click on Supported Emulator File Types (from the GEMUS menu in the main GameBase window) and enter the zip file extension. This will override GameBase's default behaviour of trying to unzip the roms before picking a single rom file to run. Then you can select zip files in the Game Selector window to link to each game. In the very rare case that the emulator you use only supports unzipped Rom directories, then GameBase does not currently support that emulator.
