I have quite a few screenshots (~2800, mainly the titlescreen). They are not all properly named (because the disks they came from aren't). Could they be of any use for ECC?

There are already a lot of screenshots for Gamebase:

Hm, how to transfer....

you need

crc32;gamename

so you can transfer the images named with gamename to the ecc-user file structure.

You can add these images flat the the ecc-user folder and then use the "Topmenue -> eccTools -> images -> image convertor" function to move them to the ecc-user folder structure.

I've copied some images which have the right names (same as disk image) to the \ecc-user\amiga\images folder. Then when I click on 'Image converter' I get the error : Found no old ecc images. I found out how to add them manually, but that would be a ridiculous amount of work

So what am I doing wrong?

ecc · 13 July 2008, 23:17

the images should be already in the right naming schema.

ecc_amiga_A53339EB_ingame_title.gif
ecc_amiga_A53339EB_ingame_play_01.jpg
aso.

This should be possible by using the dat files from here http://gbamiga.elowar.com/files/@Main/ because they contains the matching crc32 <-> name. So, if your games screenshots have the same name like the names from the datfile, the images could be simple renamed into the ecc schema.

These are all possible slot names

Hmm, most of my disks (hence images) have the TOSEC naming convention. So must I rename all images to yor naming convention then? That would mean I have to look up all CRC32 values for the disks after importing them. Is there no way to map them all to 'ingame_title' based on the disk name imported in ECC?

ecc · 13 July 2008, 23:37

hm, btw. I see, that the amiga crc32 from the tosec dat dont match with the emuControlCenter ones. Very strange.... very very strange.

Normaly only for roms, header offsets are calculated. So the crc32 values should match.

ecc · 13 July 2008, 23:42

Hm, looks like "Monkey Island 2 - LeChuck's Revenge" match, maybe i have only games that are not in the dat file!

ecc · 14 July 2008, 21:56

Phoenix have created a little addon to get the gemus configs direct from the GameBase 1.6 database into emuControlCenter!

Maybe you want try it!

Download and install instruction here: http://ecc.phoenixinteractive.mine.n...hp?f=31&t=2047

Retro-Nerd · 14 July 2008, 22:34

Nice work. But i guess phoenix have to kill the bugs first. I get tons of error messages.

TCD · 14 July 2008, 22:42

Nice idea indeed! Yet it relies on the right names of the disks. It should use the CRC32 info if that's in the database

This one for example?

Retro-Nerd · 14 July 2008, 22:48

Phoenix is already trying to fix it.

I bet he just forgot to include the new 'eccScriptSystem.au3'

You'll see what I mean...

Belgarath · 14 July 2008, 22:59

Well it no longer errors but it certaintly isn't using the gamebase amiga configs.

ecc · 14 July 2008, 23:04

With agony, it works for me.

@Belgarath: It is possible to get crc32 checksums for the amiga games from the GameBase?

I can confirm it. It try to use the standard settings.

Sorry but crc32 support was never added to the gamebase program.

Well Phoenix could edit the MDB and import this info quite easily. This way it would be really a nice feature
