Wow! Testing out CPWizard's capabilities for Emulators...
Suprised at making some progress with this! Created Emu ini + got keys feeding to CPW....
However, real headaches with the game info stuff..
As I understand it, CPWizard accesses a database file to pull the names etc from this (via command line - haven't started trying to figure GEx integration yet). It requires mdb (the default extension in the 'database' dialogue).
Was hoping to use the GameEx emulator/platform dbs. HOwever - most of these are in .db3 format.
And that's where I hit a brick wall. Spent few hours now looking at how to convert .db3 to .mdb - but with little progress. My limited understanding is that db3 is an sqlite (sql3) file? I have opened it with SQLite Database browser, but only export options are to "SQL."
Have tried using Libre(Open) Office + some wierd routine invovling ODBC setup/plugin or something -= but still no joy.
Sur every technical - google gives loads on mdb>sql converstion, but not vice versa. Found something called "flow heater" but think it requires access to create a db in the first place!
Any easy work arounds?
And it was all going so well, too!
cheers
