Title: Whats wrong with my database?
Post by: guiltyspark232 on July 08, 2015, 10:46:05 PM

The attached SNES database works great with other front-ends like Hyperspin, but when using it for mGalaxy I get "Filters Returned an Empty game list" and no games or videos are display.  I replaced it with the official SNES database found in the downloads section and all games and videos instantly appear.  Whats wrong with my (attached) XML database?

What's wrong!? This is simply not compatible with mGalaxy...but with Hyperspin.  mGalaxy uses its own database format!

Thanks for clarifying!  Are the databases in the download section the only working mGalaxy databases?  Or ... is there a tool to make my own XMLs from my ROM set?  If so I'd love to help make new databases for the community.

Yes, these are the only compatible databases...BUT the next mGalaxy version will integrate a powerfull database manager/editor !!

I look forward to it's release.  Do you have a time-frame for when it will be ready?
