How about including Skyscraper. It's written for linux and combines many game DBs/websites.

@Zing, I wan't mainly arguing but asking, what else I could do. Well, finally I found skyscraper that did the job for me.

@ivwshane yes you should be good in that case :)

@smp weird, there is no firewall on Recalbox, maybe a bad network configuration on your PC. Netmask is correct ?

To be honest, I haven't tested this kind of structure.

The recommended ones are :

scummvm/NAME OF THE GAME
with shortname.scummvm inside game directory

scummvm/NAME OF THE GAME.scummvm
with shortname.scummvm inside game directory

Thanks, I did as you suggested and had some "results" - but not what i expected. So I had a look at my setup further - and this is what I found.

I have a library of .gen .smd and .bin Megadrive games.

The ROM's work in Open Emu and Retroarch on my MacBook Pro. They also all work on PC in Retroarch and standalone medafen emulators - where I launch thru launchbox.

None of my .gen files work in recalbox.

Most of my .smd files work in recalbox.

Some of my .bin files work in recalbox.

So I am - slightly confused, but glad of the feedback as I has made me look at my data.

Actually, they ran before I updated, so the problem is probably what @rockaddicted said. Thanks for the post anyway (sorry for the double post. I wanted to make separate replies to both of you).

@Artemcheg I know there are older threads where this behaviour has been solved. I don't remember how, but I recommend you to do a search here on the forum. I can't help you more than that.

The only time anything like this happened to me was after editing the config with word/notepad. Using word++ I've never had a problem and more recently I just use recalbox manager via my phone. I know word/notepad used to cause the config to corrupt
