    It's possible to use CRC32 instead SHA1 in the romdb? How?

    TIA

      You could add it to the XML like this: <crc32>ABCD1234</crc32>
      However, openMSX will only use the SHA1 sum. So adding CRC32s to the database is only useful if you want another program to read the ROM DB.

      If you want to add games to the database, just use the sha1sum tool. It is installed by default on most Linux machines. If you use Windows, you can find sha1sum.exe here: http://ftp.gnupg.org/GnuPG/binary/
