DAT file format for Gamebase

Thu Jul 02, 2015 9:07 am

I am playing around with DAT files at the moment and looking at what information Gamebase extracts from them.

So far I have managed to put together the following information

¬PARENT_NAME¬PARENT_DESCRIPTION¬GAME_NAME¬GAME_DESCRIPTION¬ROM_NAME¬?¬?¬ROMof NAME¬?¬

You will notice the ?. These I am not sure about I believe the first is MD5/SHA checksum. The second as a guess is the CRC but i am not sure about the last one.
