I want that Gamebase scan my C64 games directory and sub-directory for .d64 .t64 and more, auto create the gamenames an listen them on Game base.

Is there a way to do this ?

Sadly not. Gamebase only recognises the unique filename allocated to each entry in the database when doing a scan for files.

Each entry has a filename associated with it. That's the filename Gamebase looks for when you do an audit of the games in the paths specified. If that name isn't there, the game is flagged as being missing.

In other words, there is no way for Gamebase to search your personal games directories and figure out what each game is supposed to be. You'll have to go and manually rename them yourself.
