Well the time has come, V4 is available from the download page, unfortunately due to the amount of time I spent and the little amount of donations I’ve received I’ve had to go commercial to fund my time to improve GameManager.
Also those that had donated before the release of V4 have received a free license key via email so check those inbox’s.
Anyway videos and screenshots will be up soon or you can try it straight away as the trial is fully featured with the only limitation being a maximum of 5 games added to database (no time limit).

DatabaseManager Update

Hi folks,
It’s been a while since I last posted and I would like to say I’ve made a lot of progress but I haven’t, well not visually anyway. A lot of changes have been made to the base data that Database Manager saves and reads, although that doesn’t sound important it is going to make adding new features much easier.
The next big update is that Game Explorer import is fully working.

This basically means most users wont need to manually import their games, they will be automatically found and searched online for (Win 7/Vista Only). There is also an offline version of the wizard for people without an internet connection.
Next up is extra executables, you can now add them to each game and they will be able to be run from a menu within GameManager so having to manually launch the games benchmark utility by navigating to the game folder is a thing of the past.

Finally we have a few updates on the Artwork page, each artwork now has a menu that allows you to delete art, browse for art and the icon art also has options for extracting from executable and steam folder.

Anyway that’s it for now.
