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.
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.
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.
