OFBD Scraper (8 Viewers)

The only solution I've found thus far is to copy my db file to a thumb drive, copy it to a 32-bit Windows installation from that, and run the tool from there. Not the most elegant solution, but it works.

EDIT: Forgot to add (not sure if it was already mentioned), if there is no box art for a game and you apply it, it will duplicate the last box-art image that was used for a previous game. This is causing me to have to delete the image file and go search for it on my own, which I guess is a blessing in disguise since it is forcing me to find a box art image for all games.

Seems as if this project has died...

Hi the Project ist not dead. I redesign it, so that schould work at windows vista x64.
With a new searchlist with automatic assign when search result is only one.
Because of whishes from users that have tons of roms and games. I understand assign it manually is uncomfortable.

I think i need 2 weeks for this, because my job is hard at moment


I have added a few screens of the Plugin. But its in development.
Its not finished. This is a preview.
(But the functions on screens are working, currently no games and rom inforamtion are saved)

In the first screen you see the romlist with search results.
Obove you can select your emulator. In the list you will see only roms from the selected emulator.


On screen 2 is the platform settings tab. Where should my plugin know what kind from platform your emualtor is.
Here you can associate your emu with the the platform name from the databse site.

On screen 3 you can define the list which browse the database first. If no reults found it browse the secondary defined database.

Bye

Hey Bonkers
I thought I would give you a suggestion while you were working on the OFDB scrapper. Have you ever used Moving Pictures before? If you haven't it basically scans the files you tell it to and automatically looks up and matches the movie and then if it doesn't have the correct movie then you have a drop down box to pick the correct movie, and rescan it if the drop down box doesn't have the correct movie. I thought that would be really cool and fast for people who have a big rom list with the OFDB scrapper. I thought I would suggest that to you. Can't wait till you get the new version out.

Hey Bonkers
I tried the release and I get an error message when I try to load the database. I installed SQlite that you have on this forum and I also tried to move around the system.data.sql.dll that comes in the OFDB folder. I did not delete the old system.data.sql.dlls in the folders (of sql lite) so now SQL is back to normal with its original dlls. Here is the error I hope this helps.

See the end of this message for details on invoking 
just-in-time (JIT) debugging instead of this dialog box.

************** JIT Debugging **************
To enable just-in-time (JIT) debugging, the .config file for this
application or computer (machine.config) must have the
jitDebugging value set in the system.windows.forms section.
The application must also be compiled with debugging
enabled.

For example:

<configuration>
    <system.windows.forms jitDebugging="true" />
</configuration>

When JIT debugging is enabled, any unhandled exception
will be sent to the JIT debugger registered on the computer
rather than be handled by this dialog box.
