How it works
The RomBase Manager unlike the Rom Manager is a tool for maintaining Metropolis Launcher's internal Rom Database.
The RomBase (rombase.ml) is the underlying database for Metropolis Launcher to automatically link games to MobyGames metadata.
Note: Using the RomBase Manager is not supposed to be performed by individual end-users. Ignore the RomBase Manager if you don't know what you're doing or haven't been told to use it.
After selecting a platform, you get a list of all files in the database on the left side. The right side lists all MobyGames releases for the selected platform.
You can link a MobyGames release to one or more selected files by double clicking the MobyGames release.
The context menu (right click) of the files list provides the following menu items:
Copies to the file name to your clipboard.

The RomBase Manager allows adding file entries from multiple fileformats:
| • | DAT (XML): an XML file from a DAT, converted by datutil |
| • | DAT with serial tag: the identifier will not be CRC, SHA1 or MD5 - a platform-specific serial per game will be used, the DAT must also be converted to XML by datutil |
| • | CSV: custom generated CSV text files from web sources |
|
Delete selected (using SHIFT or CTRL) file entries from the RomBase
|
You can use this menu item to automatically find best candidates by comparing filenames to the names of the Moby Releases.
After the analysis, you get a preview of the results where you can decide for which games the linking should be applied.

Select one or more games in the left list by using CTRL or SHIFT and left clicks and use this menu item to remove their link to MobyGame release/s.
