[QUOTE="rkooten, post: 337195, member: 81039"] Absolutely right. I would love to have all info on games in MP but right now there's no point. It would be lost after the first update. An online database would be the ultimate way to do this... true. MyMusic and MyVideos work wonderful like that, as does the My-TVseries plugin. However, creating something like that is many times more difficult and costs a lot more resources. One would have to maintain an online database, host it somewhere and update it. It is probably also more difficult to add that kind of functionality to MyEmulators. With file based import/export functionality the cost and complexity involved is lower. As such it would be a practical first step to achieving online database synchronization. The community could fill the database together: No one will be able to fill in all info on thousands of roms and isos on his own. However, if twenty people work on it for a while it could be obtainable. We could post the files in a seperate thread on this forum... We could start doing that as soon as Chreekar adds the functionality. An online database would still be an awesome possibility later on. My point: add simple file-based import/export functionality now and use those files later on if online database synchronization becomes feasible. Perhaps there is a way to use offlinelist/ClrMame/RomCenter .dat files to get us started? Perhaps make MyEmulator compatible with those files? A lot of information on roms is already out there... no point in doing it all over again. :P examples: [url=http://offlinelist.free.fr/index.php?page=datfiles.html]offlinelist .dat files[/url] [url=http://nointro.free.fr/]no-intro .dat files[/url] [url=http://www.advanscene.com/html/dats.php]ADVANsCEne GBA, NDS & PSP DAT's[/url] [/QUOTE]
