Here is an example row from sql when I use a zipped rom:
system	romname	gamename	genre	year	publisher	favorite	rompath
gametype	diskcount	country	crc_value	display	version
NES	Arkanoid (U).zip	Arkanoid
(U)	UnknownNES	19xx	Unknown	NULL	/myth/emulators/nes/roms	NES	1	Unknown	32fb0583	1	0


When I use unzipped rom the row looks like this:
system	romname	gamename	genre	year	publisher	favorite	rompath	gametype	diskcount	country	crc_value	display	version
NES	Arkanoid (U).nes	Arkanoid		1987	Unknown	NULL	/myth/emulators/nes/roms	NES	1	U.S.A.	32fb0583	1	2005110101


There are two rows in romdb matching the CRC:
crc	name	description	category	year	manufacturer	country	publisher	platform	filesize	flags	version	binfile
32fb0583	Arkanoid	Arkanoid (U)		1987		U.S.A.	Unknown	NES	49152	1PL 2PA
ARC PUZ	2005110101
32fb0583	Arkanoid	Arkanoid (U)
[o1]		1987		U.S.A.	Unknown	NES	49280	1PL 2PA ARC PUZ	2005110101


Now that I take a closer look at the romdb table, the filesize field
does not match the size of the image (that is 49168 bytes). Don't know
if this affects, though.

Best Regards,
 Markus
