I know this is possibly not the right place to ask this but
Can anyone out there help me please.
I am trying to use Datutil to create a datfile by scanning a directory. I have tried what I believe to be the correct method but am having no joy.
I am running datutil through CMD.EXE on a win8 pc and the method stated in the Datutil txt file which I have been trying is
Datutil -f romcenter2 <rom path>
It just doesn't seem to create the Datutil.dat file.

First you need to ZIP all your game files into separate archives.
game1.zip
game2.zip
game3.zip....
then type
datutil "c:\the name of the directory to scan"
>example
>datutil "D:\AmstradMania v7\crc"
you must use the quotes round the dir name.
once the dat file has been created (CMPRO dat is default)
>datutil datutil.dat
will convert it to Romcenter
If you intend to import the RC dat into GameBase you need to edit the Header version number from 2.50 to 2.00.
