I have a game that the name starts with 'Game
Starts with '
But the gamebase sorts it in the letter 'G', not the '
I want to know what character is correct to the gamebase sort it at the beginning of the list.
Then the stuff goes in the '#' folder, not in the 'G' folder

GameBase ignores apostrophe and a few other random characters.
And sorts the list from the first letter A-Z.

If you just want to place the 'game at the top of the gamebase list.
you can use this...
['] allo 'allo

but seaching for
'allo 'allo
the obvious place i would start looking is "A"

hi .mad. thanks for your attention
here is my script (by the moment) for RunGameFile.txt

-----------------------
;PC Freeware GameBase by freenit (05-12-2019)
;Select PCEmu.bat as Emulator
;File Types: bat
;Use Short Filenames: no

;If you are going to play big games (in size) i suggest you to unzip it,
;and change the corresponding game file inside GameBase for the unzipped game one,
;it will load immediately when you run it!

If Key_CDImage CONTAINS(1)
; Remove Previous Attached CD Image.
;Run_Program(%dbpath%\DTLite\DTLite.exe||-unmount_All||WAIT)
; Attach CD Image (Cue File).
Run_Program(%dbpath%\DTLite\DTLite.exe||-mount 0, "%gamepath%\CDImage\Game.cue"||WAIT)

Run_GameFile()

Show_Message(Accept this window when you have finished playing. The CD-Image will be unmounted)
Run_Program(%dbpath%\DTLite\DTLite.exe||-unmount_All||WAIT)

Else

Run_GameFile()

;Uncheck next line if you are repacking games (Not recommended)

;Show_Message(Repacking)

End If
------------------------------

Seems to work correctly, tell me if something's wrong...

It looks ok.

Mounting CD's could be problematic, if you happen to have a CD mounted before running GameBase.
or the user quits without closing the message box.

If no CD is mounted, the unmount command should be almost instant.
so you could use it twice, at the very top of the script and with your quit message box to force it.

but that's all down to your personal preference. :wink:

Hi freenit and thanks for this work.
I have a question....
In the list I have: all games 15950;
If I check games I have: games not found 1/12398.
Why does the tool check 12398 games and not 15950?
Did I do something wrong?
Happy New Year

Hi Transporter, you don't do anything wrong...
there are 15950 entries in the database, but only 12398 entries are 'linked' to a game file.
it means that the rest are not linked yet, and the file game is not in games folder.
i think the 1 missing is Aqua Energizer... i forgot to link the game but it is in games folder...
just link it.
thanks!
