i know it's an old thread but layout hotkey sounds like a good idea, be very useful if a config file with last used layout per system was used, this way systems that lack box art could use logos instead in a different layout

at present all the work i did was based on hyperspin xml files  i then created csv files from them to create all the extra info used by several frontends, i just looked at trurip dats and noticed the naming of the games is slightly different so all that would be needed to create the stories for trurip collections would be to match the trurip names to the no-intro names in the csv files and export new story.txt files
im not sure which would be the best way to go with this. but i can check and convert the csvs to new xmls so the other info is present in the meta folder

got it sorted now, someone at openoffice forum's gave me the idea to add echo and txt to the first cell to create a batch file.

so now it should be pretty simple to create the collections of the stories if you want them uploading, ill need to check they still match hyperlist but it should be no biggie

i thought i would try a biggish set so i did the ps2 story files
there was a couple of adjustments to make but it was easy to spot the faults as the txt files where creted

i've attached the set to this post

Thank you, i've just uploaded the AAE one but if you look  at the github link on the 1st post the ods files are the most up to date

column A is rom name, column J is the story

other columns are

Year
Rating
Game Name
Developer
Publisher
Genre
Score 0.1 to 5.0
number of players

**edit** added both csv and ods files

unfortunately im on windows, i thought it may be possible with powershell, until i figure that part out i started on the theme in photoshop, ill probably base it on your aeon nox theme as it should be simple to edit to suit the theme

cool, i did thousands of them based on hyperlist all complete, ill just need to pull the info from the csv files and create the story files. if you're interested when im done i can upload somewhere.
ill be willing to make any missing ones as ill be updating the github csv database just as soon as i get time (shortly)

quick question if anyone knows the answer
to make the story files i've come across a problem
i need to be able to make the text files based on the rows (A1) will be the name of the txt file (B1) will be the contents of the text file (the story) anyone know a way i can parse the csv or maybe an xml based on tags to create the story files

ah yes it was RetroFe.com , a little later last night i noticed how the data is overwritten using the xml's but i couldn't seem to get the scrolling text to change is there any way to override that
i tried story tags as i noticed it in theme theme xml but no luck

ah ah i figured it, they go in txt files in the story folder, do these file overwrite the meta.db file or are they read when needed.

Hey everyone, im sure i had an account here years ago but cant seem to find it.
anyways i thought id check out how retrofe as come along over the years, looking good i must say, love the aeon nox theme, so i thought i would have a go at using some of my info in the theme.

so my question is if i wanted to overwrite everything that is displayed on the sample genesis game what file and tags would i need to change

im hoping i can possibly make a sexycirus theme if i can remember how to do it.

forgot to say the source of my info i will use will come from my github page as im planning on adding more info to systems
