Great project! I found the v18 screenshots download - are there downloads for covers/manuals/etc?

The complete v18 is here:

But it's in the form of four .iso files, so you can't only download the extras.

I believe v19 is due really soon though.

Thanks guys! I'll use the v18 install as a dry run for v19

Would be great if there was a version for a modern frontend, e.g. Launchbox!

you might want to try this...
https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/ ... -importer/

it might be a little complicated to get everything imported to launchbox.
but i am sure the guys over on that forum can help you.

scripts to launch the games and emulators, could be a problem.
I would guess they would need a rewrite or edit in most cases.

Thanks Mad - I have used that plugin with success with another Gamebase set. Transferring the information is not too problematic - it's all the images and extras that are the issue - they have to be done manually. With a set like the C64, doing manually is just too much work given the numbers.

if i knew the format and location launchbox used to store and show the extras in the database.
i could probably make a batch file to get the majority of the picture (JPG images) files imported.
Adverts, box cover, magazine scans.

but..., using GameBase for GameBases is much easier.
