Is it possible to make GB verify available games on mutliple CD without deleting entries for previous CDs?
It will be nice if GB could read CD label of each CD, telling something as "Insert CD xxxxxxx to load the game"....
Thanx

The only way, currently, that I can think of doing what you want is a real pain in the ass.
1 - copy all cds to hard drive in a single folder.
2 - disable CD drive or remap to new letter.
3 - use software to map the folder to a drive letter (many free ones exist)
4 - verify all the games on the "fake" drive (folder) with GB
5 - remove the "fake" drive
6 - reactivate CD or remap to original letter
It will now do what you want. The problem is that if any CDs have the same directory & file names, only 1 file (the last one copied) will work.

Thank you for your reply J2003C.
It will be very nice if you can add an option in the "Verify available files" menu to choose if restart from beginning or "append" games to the ones already present in the database.
By the way Gamebase is fantastic: thank you for giving us such a wonderful tool!!
