    Hi RetroSpace. So basically you download a program called clrmamepro, import these DAT files into it, in settings add the directory of your roms for the platform you're scanning and use the scanner option to scan the directory to see if your roms are compatible with cheevos or not. You can use other DAT programs like rom vault or rom center but I personally prefer clrmamepro.

    Hi guys. Apologies for no updates these last 2 or 3 weeks or so. I'm busy on v2.0 of the DATs and as such, I'm redoing the DATs from scratch and thinking of other options on how to make these new DATs better than the current ones. This is going to take me a few weeks, possibly a few months but I'll release the new 2.0 DATs as soon as I feel they're ready. Thanks for your patience.

    Hi BioHazZzard.

    1. As I've prioritized english over every other language, I prioritize USA over EUR because USA is english only and I myself usually only use USA roms unless there is no USA RA-compatible rom, then I use EUR roms. However, you do make a good point with multi-language roms and I shall think about prioritizing EUR multi-language roms with english over USA in the DATs.
    2. The problem with the CUEs is when you download standard redump CUEs, the internal data names of the BINs aren't the same as the names in my DATs and changing any of the internal data in the CUEs changes the hash values, including changing a single character in the CUE. Clrmamepro would also only change the file names of the CUEs, not the internal data names. I usually keep all BINs and CUEs in 1 folder on my pc instead of 1 folder per game.
    3. I don't understand how the "~" in file names doesn't work. In what way are they not working well? ClrMamePro scans and renames them fine on my side and retroarch plays them fine.
    4. I have prioritized games with patches that improved the game so games with 60FPS/Hz patches that are RA-compatible are added to the DATs.

    At the end of the day, my main priority is that all the games are compatible with retroachievements. Thanks for the feedback and I'll think about what other changes I can do to the DATs and/or CUEs.

    The latest 1.6 update is awesome and I think the achievement progress bar is ingenious. However, I found an issue with the list view where pressing the DELETE button on my keyboard when trying to delete games isn't working and I have to right-click and select delete manually while it works fine on Image view.

    Awesome update to this theme. Just wanna let you know though that in the Platform Views and Game Views if there is no clear logo for a platform or game, the name appears empty instead of showing text. Other than that, everything else works good so far.

    Awesome theme. The 1 wall view reminds me of going to a game store and vertically flipping through their games on the shelf. I would like to suggest a small future change if I may. On the platforms view, at the bottom right hand corner where it says "**/** GAMES", I suggest changing it to "SYSTEM **/**" or "PLATFORM **/**" or something similar as the "GAMES" part could confuse some users. Other than that, all clean and beautiful.

    This theme is very nice but I found a bug with this theme. When I select this theme, my startup and pause themes are stuck on the pulse themes and changing them in settings does nothing. If I remove the pulse startup and pause themes folders from their directories, it reverts to default startup and pause themes and nothing happens if I try to change the startup and pause themes to something else. However if I select any other BB theme except this one, then the pause and startup themes change and work correctly.

    It seems the Platform Device Images no longer display on the platform view anymore on the latest version of BigBox.

    EDIT: I figured it out. Just copy the images in the Device Images folder to the fanart folder instead and they'll display.

    I'll investigate if it can be done without affecting the perfomance of the theme, the idea es to keep it pretty, but fast, BTW the video snap can be previewed when selecting any game too.

    Yeah I'm doing it like that at the moment.

    if you are updating to next level, video preview option would be wonderful!!!!

    I 2nd this feature suggestion. If video snaps would be added to the classic mini views, I'd definitely make this my primary theme. Awesome theme regardless.
