Importing data files
The dat-file manager is for importing data files extracted to XML-format using the DatUtil-tool. Unfortunately this sofware is Windows-only software so you'll need WINE to run it. In this example I use the following command:
wine datutil.exe -x -f gx -o colecovision.xml "Coleco - ColecoVision (20081124_CM).dat"
...to extract the data from the 'Coleco - ColecoVision (20081124_CM).dat' data file to the 'colecovision.xml'-file in XML-format.
To start the dat-file manager select 'File > Manage dat files' from the RetroMenu main window. In the dat-file manager press the 'Import dat-file'-button and select the platform and the media type of the data file.
Browse and select the dat-file from the local file system using the file manager window.
After selecting the dat-file, the database will be updated and have/miss-statistics are viewable in the 'Output'-window.
