Verifying Game files
Posted: Sat Aug 11, 2012 4:44 pm
I'm was a big C64 fan, but I'm new to the emulator world. I was excited to find this site and I'm trying to get everything set up for the first time. I've installed the frontend, datebase, and downloaded the screenshots. I've also installed CC6464 and WINVICE.
I've been going through these instructions and hit a problem when verifying games.
'6) Once you have run GameBase and have The GB64 Collection database loaded, you will need to do the following before you can use the database:
- Setup your emulators (if you didn't already do it as GameBase loaded)
- Setup your options (Tools-->'GBC_v09' Options)
- Setup your paths (Tools-->'GBC_v09' Paths)
- Tell GameBase which files you have (Tools-->Verify Available Files)'
I have one set of game files. G64 and D64 file extensions. I've point the Game Path to the directory where those extensions reside. These are not on drive C: like the GameBase is, but neither are the screenshots and they seem to verify.
Anyway, so when verifying it doesn't find any game files. I would have expected it to find one if it was setup correctly.
Where have I gone wrong? And once I have this working, how do you run the game within the GameBase Frontend.
Thank you
