Yes, yes I do. I didn't notice this thread. I already replied by e-mail. Here's my reply again.

My apologies, I made a mistake when setting up the hotlink protection. I've
fixed it. You may have to clear your browser cache (e.g. pressing ctrl-f5 on
the error page for many browsers; or you can use Clear Private Data in Firefox
or similar things in other browsers) before the links work.

You cannot use the files with TOSEC names immediately, they have to be
renamed to a format GameBase Amiga understands.
That is possible with a tool like clrmame pro, what you have to do in this case
is get the Dat files in the Main folder and download clrmame pro from here:
http://www.clrmame.com/. It is not entirely straightforward to use,
what you basically do is add the .dat file (simply select the .zip file and
choose the one with CM in its name), then open it and use the Rebuilder
function. Make sure to have "Zip files" enabled and "Recompress" and "Remove
matched files" disabled. Afterwards you have to use the .bat files in the .zip
archive with the .dat files to sort the files into sub-directories, instructions
are also included in the .zip files.
There are some files in GameBase Amiga that you won't find in older TOSEC
versions or not even in TOSEC at all, for those get the Rare Games packs in
Main.
That said, I don't mind if you get the update packs from the Misc dir now as
you originally planned.
If you need more help feel free to e-mail me or if it's something that may be
of interest to others, post a new thread (or post in an existing thread if your
problem is related to it) in the project.MAGE forum on EAB.

Apparently you did already post in the forum, so sorry about that.
