RDB/DAT File Help?

RetroArch General
#1

I’m trying to make a custom database for my personal ROM Hacks, and got a test dat file made. I’m running into issues getting it to the RDB part. Following the instructions on https://github.com/libretro/RetroArch/blob/master/libretro-db/README.md I’ve had okay success up until the c_converter part. I’m getting this error:

$ c_converter “sfmb.rdb” “sfmb.dat” bash: c_converter: command not found

I’m using MiniGW64 on Windows 10 btw. Somebody please tell me how to fix this so I can move on with my life lol.

Nvm, I figured it out. Popped out a fresh RDB file just now.

Basically had to install a bunch of tools first, compile something, and pray to 10 tech gods.

The guide should be a tad clearer in doing the extra steps if needed, though. I’m not even sure what triggered it working, but hopefully I can help someone else with this issue in the future LOL.

Oh man, the amount of technical level ups Retroarch is giving me :stuck_out_tongue:
