Bear with me
SirPoonga:
Here's what I am thinking. I have two tables: master and games. Master is a list of all the roms in the current mame. Games is all the dat entries. So what I need to do is update the master table first. Then only rename the rom names in the games table if it doesn't exist in the master table. For example, for 1942 the update statement would be
UPDATE games SET romname='1942a' WHERE romname='1942' and romname not in (select romname from master)
Howard_Casto:
Yeah that would work too. :burgerking:

The login cookie doesn't seem to be working well. I clicked remember me and I ended up being logged out today. Oh well. Will look into it later.
SirPoonga:
Howard, let me know if you see the admin menu after you login now.
Howard_Casto:
Yeah it's working fine.
If I might suggest, I think the next thing you need to do is clean up the webpage a bit before we tackle new entries and any alterations to the database. It'll get pushed to the side once we get going and you'll never get around to it otherwise.
My two suggestions would be to get the cookies to remember and once you log in to have it redirect to controls.dat automatically. Anything else is unimportant.
