There are two ways you can merge and sort the disks.
----------------------------------------------------
Step 1) Using the Installer by AAG (gbplayer).
Extract the Gamebase archive, keeping the Dir structure intact.
copy the 2 7z files into the X68000/Installer directory (with the X68KMain.bat file).
run X68KMain.BAT.
All the games will be Renamed and sorted into the "x68000/Installer/Games" Directory.
This takes about 15 minuets.
when it's finished...
open the X68000/Installer/Games directory and run the Sortintofolders.bat file.
move the installer/games folder to your required location and set the paths in the gamebase.
copy the disks from the Fixed Versions Dir over the originals.

Step 2) Using Romcenter with the included Dat file.
1) Extract the DIM images from the 7z archive files. (http://www.7-zip.org)
2) Add all the DIM files to there own seperate ZIP archive.
if you are using WINRAR
select all files
tick the Archive Format box for "ZIP"
select Menu files/ and tick "put each file to seperate archive".
4) Install and run Romcenter v2.71 (http://romcenter.com)
open the Data file manager window an add the data file "Romcenter.DAT"
select the DAT file from the menu.
add the ROM path (where you just put the ZIPPED disks)
select all the files and press the FIX button.
-This will rename and merge all the multiple disk games to the GameBase name format.
5) copy the "SortIntoFolders.bat" into the directory with the new merged disks and run it.
