[mythtv-users] The MythGame Database

[Dan Morphis]

Jason, you are correct in your assessment that it deletes all the 
entries from the various game tables.  Whats needed is something 
similiar to the nes.crc file which is a flat file containing all the 
category information.  I have found the snes.crc file, but it doesn't 
contain any category information.

You could also export all the data from gamemetadata where 
system='Snes';   Then, after you run "Search", delete from gamemetadata 
where system='Snes'; and re-import your exported data.  If you need more 
help w/ the specifics of it regarding sql and what commands to use, 
contact me off list.

P.S.  I would be interested in gettting a copy of your catagorized sql :-)
