New user, issues with Atari 7800

Hello.

I'm new with RC and I started a while ago, did an Atari 2600 set that worked wonderfully, from a recent GoodA2600 set. I'm missing about a dozen but will find them later...

Now I just tried Atari 7800, followed the same procedure as Atari 2600, went on DAT-o-Matic and got the latest dat for A7800, created a database for it, then scanned my A7800 folder, and it only detects 4 on 180+ files.....
I found another GoodA7800 set that is more recent.... same issue.

Anything that i'm doing wrong?
I read that for games that have an extra xml with the header info you have to click on Standard DAT instead, and then Romcenter format, but I don't see the Romcenter format option...
I tried downloading the Standard dat anyway and it's not working still...

Hi

Try to edit the datafile and add

Code: Select all

<romcenter plugin="a7800.dll"/> 
in the xml header.

Next version will automatically detect which plugin to use.
