So after trying to setup GB that time, I've given up. Now 6 months later I've regained my strength to try it again. And failed of curse because GB is one huge mystery to install

I beg you good ppl of amiga board to help me once again:

WinUAE that you must use is in "Emulators" folder

There's no "WinUAE included in GameBase Amiga"
Here's the list of files:
gamebase-source-v1.3.zip includes:
Artwork
Build
Official GEMUS DAT
Setup
Sounds
Source
dev_guide.txt
License.txt

there's no WinUAE in any of these directories...
As I can see, WinUAE isn't included in any of the gamebase files anywhere (not in the 1.3 version, nor in the 1.6 and neither in GB 2.0)???
Can you please direct me to specific link where's gamebase with winuae which you are talking about and that should work?

I've installed "gamebase-setup-v1.3-full.exe" to c:\GameBase (default location)
Then I've installed "GameBase Amiga v1.6 Setup.exe" to same c:\GameBase (it aked me to installit to program files but I've choose c:\Gamebase dir instead)

If you have folder Gamebase Amiga (defualt 1.6 install) you have to change mdb fo 2.0 in GameBase Amiga.mdb.

I have copied all of the files from "GameBase Amiga 2.0 Core Files.zip" into c:\Gamebase
Also I've changed name "GameBase Amiga 2.0.mdb" into "GameBase Amiga.mdb"

if it works, then update to GameBase Amiga 2.1 in the same way (if you have another mdb you have make the same things)
Use again GBToolBox.

I couldn't do anything with GBToolBox except to delete old database???
Could you explain in detail steps how to associate the database?

How do I choose it???
Only way I could get to anything that resembles your instruction is if I go to "GEMUS>Emulator setup wizard". There, on the step "Search for emulators" it asks me "Search path" where I direct it to the install dir of the Winuae (3.5.0, I don't have any other because of problem in first step in this thread) and then it lists me "Select the emulators you wish to setup" where I have from WinUAE 1.1 to WinUAE 1.5.0 BUT I can't choose any, neither the "select all" option works...

There's no such "Available Files" option. However there is "verify available Files" which is greyed out???

Why is this so hard????
Why the hell haven't anyone made "Gamebase full installation final V2.1" (included EVERYTHING) so you just have to click "GameBase.exe" to play your favorite games and not this monstrosity of a "update this, update that, then if your lucky and the moon is on the seventh parallel from the sun, you can include database BUT only if the winuae have pleased gods"
