 |
|
Can somone in the Gamebase team add extra options to the database file in Gamebase such as shoot em up\Galaxians etc so to give a more accurate discription of games. Maybe in a future update to the Gamebase frontend or as a downloadable file to overwrite the empty one included in the gamebase frontend.

I am still working on APPSnTOOLSbase64, a collection that contains C64 non-game software.
So I can't do much with the standard genres list in the GameBase frontend.
I want to use genres like Graphics/Drawing (HiRes) or Utilities/Disk drive.
If you have Microsoft Access installed, you can open the MDB with it and edit the tables Genres and P_Genres. That's how I did it and it works.
However, it would be much easier to edit these tables directly with the frontend or (better) with the GameBase Toolbox. |

sorry for activating this old topic....
Is it still not possible, to add new Genres in Gambease ? 
I haven't MS Access, so i used OpenOfficeOrg, to add some new Genres in the GB/*.mdb...
Unfortunately, the edited *.mdb seems to be broken now....(runtime error 94)
Of course, i've first made a copy of my orig. *.mdb, so no data's are lost 
It would be nice to have this Feature directly in the GB Toolbox !

To bump an aging thread, I've found its quite easy done even without MS Access.
I used MDB Browser and Editor 2.3 (freeware)
http://download.com.com/3000-2210-10150077.html?tag=lst-0-1
I was able to add my own parent and sub genres, removed unused ones, etc.
Surprising its very easy to use.  |
