[QUOTE="quixote23, post: 344894, member: 85618"] Hey - So I love MyEmulators, it's a really solid plugin, but my one complaint about it is that there's no easy way to update your database - it has to be done by hand, game by game. I've tried [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/my-emulators-247/updating-description-year-company-48884/"]Updating description, year and company[/URL], but as my ROMs are mostly NES and I have ~1,000 of them, my success rate in using the method described in that thread has been maybe 1/100. What I'd like to request is the ability to automatically scan and update the MyEmulators database using an external database file - for example, the files linked to here at [url="http://www.romcenter.com/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=links:datafiles"]RomCenter[/url]. Maybe an option in the Games Database section of the Config tool to import a .dat file. That way, even if we don't have every single ROM covered, going in and manually updating a handful of files is a lot less daunting than updating thousands of ROMS. (It would also be cool to get automatic updates of screenshots\titles as thumbs as found somewhere like [url="http://localarcade.com/screenshotarchive/"]Screenshot Archive[/url] but as they seem to host all the thumbs in zipped archives, that might be too tall an order.) One last, very small thing... I have a feeling this has to do with the [url="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/my-emulators-247/my-emulators-12771-post341563/?highlight=mediastream#post341563"]myEmulators.xml[/url] I downloaded for my skin (Mediastream) - but is there any way in Filmstrip view to keep the highlighting box in the middle of the screen, rather than scrolling all the way to the right?
