DATABASE INFORMATION
Located on the right hand side of the “Search / Edit” screen is the database information
panel. This panel looks as follows:
Database information shows the total number of games held in the database and the
calculated CRC-32 checksum for the database file. The database itself is encrypted and
any attempts at modifying it outside the Vali-Flash software will render the file useless.
The CRC checksum is calculated from the main database file and any changes to this file
will affect the checksum. This can be used to ensure that a known trusted database is
being used.
To backup the database file use the “BACKUP” button. Left clicking this button will
cause the program to request a file name and then make a copy of the database using this
name.
The “RESTORE” button will restore any previously backed-up copy of the database.
