newbie question on F5 / Game Search / Audit and network drive
#361382 - 12/18/16 04:53 PM


I am using MAMEUI64 0.180 and I have all the ROMs and CHDs on a network drive. Is there a workaround to build its database without doing Game Search? It takes more than a DAY to scan through everything. Can I use DAT files somehow instead?

Is MAMEUI also on the network drive?

Try putting it on the network if that is possible.

that isn't desirable, plus I don't know that it would make a difference.

what about the DAT route? Where does MAMEUI keep its database of what games are available and where they are located? Couldn't I just edit that? What does Game Search really do?

MAME_g.ini

I don't think it would be easy to edit by hand.
