Hi All

Sorry if this has already been answered but i couldnt find anything so heres my question. Im in the process of rebuilding my roms since i lost all 2.5TB of them due to bad drives which can be a good thing as it has give me the push to actually finaly build this cab of mine that is 1 Years ion the process and only recently purched (think it was feb last year) the controlers for it but thats about as far as it got. I was going to use Maxumus Arcade and stupidly payed for it but there dont seem to be as much support as hyperspin has but after looking in to it more there seems to be a better community and following so HS sticks for me.

So my question is. i use TOSEC and No-Intro Dats along with the logix ones but the main question is what is everyone using for offical databases as im going to edit the DAT files to make then into the no intro naming for what seems to be the standard for the images within Hyperspin

I.E in tosec are we only using the [!] Known good dump or are we using all?

thanks for anyone who can shead any light on this as i want to create dat files for games and themes that can be used in the community. im also looking into hyperion site but want to make the ones that are missing.

Cheers
Nogarth

1) good dump
2) US over EU for releases
3) EU game with no US release

Thanks for your reply sophT. I ahve also been speaking with Lashek about this for the Hyperion site as there is a few missing and going to try and start work on them this weekend using the original no-intro/TOSEC dat files then pass them onto yourselves for validating and possibly publishing. I'm looking into creating master lists but working 1 system at a time and alphabeticly so first one is Atari 2600 for me. then so on and so forth that is missing already.
