Deleting Games From The Database ?

Washac · 31 January 2018, 15:46

I have removed all the WHDLoad games from their directory and re-scanned but they still show in database window in the Mac FS-UAE Launcher games list.

How do you remove them ?

Have you done a file database and game database scan?

Yup all done.

Strange. Then maybe delete the Amiga.sqlite file in FS-UAE\Data\Databases and rescan again.

Washac · 31 January 2018, 16:10

Nope, removed said file and re-scanned still there.

Retro-Nerd · 31 January 2018, 16:14

Please delete the Files.sqlite too.

Nope still the same, also removed the WHDLoad path and also manually removed the WHDLoad games folder.

It doesn't make sense. I assume in the Cache folder isn't anything database related. Have you set Database Games to "Available Games"? Game Database tab in the launcher settings.

Whilst awaiting a reply I downloaded one of the database games that FS-UAE comes with put it in the Downloaded folder then did a Scan downloads and on doing that all those games I wanted deleting have now gone

Strange behavior. But when it works.

After spending most of the afternoon today trying to remove games from the list window can something be done to make this little easier in future releases ?

I don't have this kind of problems with the launcher scanner. I'm using FS-UAE 2.9.7dev 4.

What is the process you use to remove a game ?

Retro-Nerd · 31 January 2018, 19:53

I manually remove them from the scanner folder path and rescan the files again. Usually it works fine.

Can I ask where you got dev 4 from ? The site only has dev 2 for download

http://fs-uae.net/devel/2.9.7dev4/

I always use the portable version.

That is for Windows, I use the Mac version, thanks though.

Ah, it maybe explains why you have problems. Different OS. You should wait for Frode's reply then. He is surely interested in logs or something.

Washac · 28 March 2018, 09:35

So after waiting a while for a response from the dev it seems there isn't going to be one for what ever reason, and the problem/bug is still there.

Retro-Nerd · 28 March 2018, 14:34

Have you contacted him? Well, i can't see any FS-UAE logs from you here attached.
