Removing Games from the list?

Sat May 22, 2010 2:17 pm

GameBase is a brilliant application, because it brings the games to life before you play them, by allowing you to see what you are about to play. But there is a problem with this system, some of the games are definitely not playable by children!
With this in mind, where can I find the text file that lists all the games that appear on the scrolling games menu?
I can remove the games and screenshots, but would like to be able to remove the names of these games as well please! :(

you can hide games with the Adult filter.

right click on the game you want to hide
select "personal info" - "current game"
and tick the Adult Game box.

select TOOLS from Gamebase menu.
select Adut filter
enter a password.

all those Adult games are now hidden.

There is no text file. All game information is stored in a Microsoft Access .MDB file in the database folder.

Have you tried to select the game and press the Del key on your keyboard? :shock:

Thank you both very much for the advice, must remember the Delete key is your Friend! :)
