Yes, there is no apparent way to end some games when they are running. A keyboard shortcut to close the emulator for these problem games would be good!
At present, I have to bring up the Task Manager to close the emulator!

The ability to at least change the colour of the GUI (without having to change your Windows Theme) would be nice!

Fair enough! But when you know how to do something, it is easy, when you don't know, you need help!
So thanks for the help!

Is there any way where I could tell Gamebase to just switch file formats for my games? For example for my SNES project I just started using BSNES.. (which is awesome) and it can handle .7z files and the new Gamebase also has .7zip support so I used a wonderful free program I just found and might help others "Arc them all" to covert all my SNES games from .zip to .7z to save a little space but now I have to go through all 900 some of them in Gamebase and repoint each individual game to it's new renamed converted counterpart.. what a pain in the... But other than .7z instead of .zip at the end the game files are all named the same and in the same place.. can't I just tell Gamebase.. okay look for the same file names you did before but only look for them in .7z format? I hope I'm explaining this well. This would save me so much time and would probably help others as well.

@Flarp

for now, you can change the extention of the Filename in Access.

Highlight the Filename column by clicking on it.
then from menu bar select Edit, Replace.
and use these options.

Find What: .7z
Replace With: .zip
Look In: = Filename
Match: = Any Part of Field
Search: = All

then click the Replace All button.

if you don't have Microsoft Access,
send me the MDB file and i will do it for you.

How about adding the ability to have a piccy of the programmer, and also one for the graphics artist, just like you can for musicians.

Hi Jimbo,

it would be nice to have an X-tra TAB for additional Infos.
I know, that it is possible to "rename" the existing Fields,
but i need more Fields....

So, a "freely usable" TAB (or maybe more...) should make sense

There is enough space for this on the GUI, i think.

what do you think ?

Example:

In the GEMUS edit window, a "Save" button would be welcome.
The only way to save changes made to the script is clicking the OK button, which will close the GEMUS edit window.

Not a feature request, but a small bug.
Environment variables are case sensitive, where they shouldn't be.
Example:
After setting this key=value pair:

TestKey=Test Message

This GEMUS code doesn't work:

Another GEMUS-related issue (or am I overlooking something?):

When using this script:

Well, don't know if it is possible......

When i have more than one name in the Field Coding....

example :
Game 1 :
Coding: john, bob, bill, james

Game 2:
Coding : ben, bob, paul

now, i want list all games coded by bob...

but this don't work....'cause the "search objekt" when clicking on bob is :

[coding = *john, bob, bill, james*]

is there a way, to list all games coded by bob ?

hope you understand the problem....

It's a single field so there's no way of just clicking the field to pick one of the programmers.

The easiest solution is just press CTRL+Q for a quick filter and change the field to programmer and enter the programmer name you want. Not as easy as clicking on the field name but it's still pretty simple.
