Hi,
I found this .dat file:
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2TMeZ6iEFvHTkc2TXZOOFhCRzQ/view?usp=sharing
It's in XML format.
How can I convert it in Deprecated format?
Thanks a lot for any help

Logiqx got a datfile converter.....but you can simply load it in cmpro (as any other datfile), go to dir2dat, set the format to deprecated, go to setinformation, hit export

Hi!
I exported it, like your advice, diretcly from clrmamepro, setting first deprecated in Dir2Dat.
In the dat file converted the "tradition" quotation marks ("") are missing.
This could create issue?
