Database management - lantzelot-swe/PCUGameManager GitHub Wiki

PCUAE Manager support multiple databases. They show up as tabs under the menu bar. To add a new empty database, click on the "+" to the right of the existing tabs in the UI:

Tabs can be renamed or deleted by right-clicking on the tab name.

For each tab there is a folder created in the "databases" folder with the same name as the tab. It contains a "pcusb.db" file that holds all information about the games and gamelist views.

You can create a backup of a database and all covers, screens and game files whenever you want with the “backup db” menu option. It will backup the currently selected database tab. The backups are saved in the backup folder. A backup can also be restored to the currently selected tab easily with the “Restore backup…” menu option. You can also delete all games from the database with the “Delete all games” menu option. When deleting all games, the defined gamelist views will be kept.

There is also a menu option for copying a database along with all games, screenshots and covers from another PCUAE Manager instance. A new tab will be added with the imported database.
