Make a backup of your MDB files.

Then use the Import personal Info...
from the GameBase v1.3 menu.

Thanks. I recovered the favourite games/sid lists, but not the links to games. When i select the game in the favourite list, the 'play game' button is not active. Therefore i must to re-link all games.

Can i retrieve the links to emulator in automatic mode as the lists?

maybe you need to audit the files after the update.
Select Verify Available Files... from TOOLS menu.

I don't have zip files but *.d64 and *.t64 files in the games directory.
I checked 'available files' but i have not recovered the links to games.
The links works in manual mode (edit/game files/*.d64) but i had already linked the games in the GB07 database.

There is no recovery in automatic mode?

There's no way round it.
the gbc_v08.mdb will need the v8 collection of games.

as soon as you download the v8 game collection, everything will be working as you had it before, with all your favorites linked.

Games: gb64v08g.7z - 589.2 MB
http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6662324/Gamebase64-v8

you can re-link the v7 games in the v8 gamebase, but that defeats the whole point of updating.

By "not work", do you mean you can't get to ThePirateBay, or the torrent file on that site isn't working? Because I can get to the TPB page fine. If you can't, you might be in a country that's blocked it.

EDIT: You in Italy from your IP? If so, I think TPB is blocked there.
