Hi!

I am trying to setup "Commodore Amiga Demos", but all roms I have are inside different demogroup subfolders.

Example: Fairlight\Fairlight-1989Progress.zip

VirtualDreams\VirtualDreams-40kIntro.zip

Rebels\REBELS-64_Demo1990.zip

Scoopex\scx-800Degrees.zip

Is it possible to generate a .xml database with that file structure? If that is the case, what application to use?

Edit: There are 2478 subfolders in the main folder

I´d did go another way to solve the problem. First I checked the demobase.xml file which gives winuae the path and the config for every demo file, then used regex find&replace function to remove all the groupname folders in demobase.xml. So after that I had a config for winuae with filepaths pointing to the files instead of groupname folders. After that I moved all files out of their folders into a main rom folder, then I created a new database with Dir2XML.

That´s my solution to the problem, maybe not the best but worked for me.

Hm dont think I have the files anymore since I use the WHDload demopack now. I will check when I get home if there is a backup the demobase files.

You can also find the WHDload versions of Commodore Amiga Demos in my signature =) Only 609 of them though.
