How do I add a rom not listed in the xml database?

[Bruiserh89]

Hey guys this might be an easy one for you to answer but I have a rom that is from the EU region and the xml database I have is only for the US version. How can I add this EU version to my database? Is it as simple as renaming the rom the US version or do I need to add the EU version to the database?

 

I have Don's tools and know you can rename roms to match the database. I also noted you can generate your own database for your roms but I'd like to keep the database I'm currently using and just add roms to it when necessary.

 

Cheers

I guess you could rename the rom. Proper way would be to just open the db in a text editor and add another entry for that game.

Cheers mate. I'll try just renaming the rom first because I don't know how to go about the text editor process.

You can rename if you're sure you are not going to use us version. The database (.xml) is editable with notepad if you wish to add it instead of renaming.

Ah ok. Thanks Spawk. Yeah I don't need the US version and I'll keep notepad in mind for future ref.

Actually, notepad does have issues if it is a particularly big database so if you ever run into any problems, I would suggest installing "notepad++". It's free, just Google it.
