Romcenter

I found that both Romcenter 3 alpha 5/6 crash immediately after showing the splash screen.

Romcenter 3 alpha 4 is the last running version on my system

d) The new RBSD field is cool! but I suggest to show the number of missing roms/bios/sample/disk instead of just a red icon.


RBSD will be replaced by icons (when I have time to make it).
The idea is good, but I find icons more easy to read than 4 columns of numbers. I can add more detailled ...

3) The DB files are quite large, for example, MAME Data files is around 10M, the generated database are 42M.

Yes, I can't do anything about it. Zipping is very efficient if you need to move it. I dont' think 40 or 80MB on a hard drive is a big problem today.

2) Wizard mode is too annoying when creating new database. I recommend using one simple window instead.

:? Not sure I understand...
Size is not mandatory. These files are playable, even if the size is not available (name and crc is ...

1) Support disabling rom path (ie, add a check box next to each added folder)
2) Support file name/game/rom name copy by adding "copy name" in the right click menu
3) Add a Yes/No dialog to view the saved have/missing list file by default text viewer
4) Add one more game status in Game Database
