      Hi,

      I would like to change date formtat in the field "Released" in ES game info

      Currently is mm/dd/yyyy, and I would like to change it to dd/mm/yyyy

      I haven't seen any option for that, so I assume that I have to edit some config file, do you know what file do I have to edit?

      Thanks

        Not sure, and I don't want to say bulls**t, but isn't it "language" dependant ?

        Clean your Romset with Universal ROM Cleaner
        Scrape your Romset with Universal XML Scraper

          No, I have tried and it is not language dependant.

          I guess it would have to be in the file where the structure

          Rating
          Released
          Developer
          .
          .
          .

          is stored

              In gamelist.xml each rom folder have one.
              Maybe with a regex in notepad ++
              One by one can be a lot of work...

              Relier un écran I2C et afficher des informations sur les roms

                In gamelist.xml the date format is yyyymmddThhmmss, and in ES game info the format is mmddyyyy

                So the date info from gamelist.xml is processed somewhere and it is shown in ES in another format (mmddyyyy)

                The template for ES game info has to be somewhere, I guess it is just changing the date format in the template, but first I need to know in which file is that template located

                Thanks

                  I have nothing found in the files to change the format.
                  I would change it to dd.mm.yy when i found it.
