I've downloaded and followed the instructions on some of the databases I found here. But when I go the the game and try to select the database, the only one I can find is Official Release. How can I fix this? |

The DB needs to be in this folder: my documents\pcm\user\your name\database
BTW:
If you would have followed the instructions, the DB would have ended in the correct folder.
I do not know how to install the different DBs, so I can only tell you to read the instruction one more time. |

I've had the same problem. But i've fixed it(sort of):
FIRST OF ALL: MAKE A BACKUP-FILE OF THE CYANIDE DB IN CASE SOMETHING GOES WRONG!!!
I extracted the .cdb-file to my desktop. Then I renamed the file to 'OfficialRelease.cdb'. Then I copied it to my documents\pcm\user\your name\database. When it asks to overwrite the old database you answer: Yes. Now it should work in the game(at mine it did work) note that in the game it will still be called OfficialRelease, because you've overwritten the old file!

There's no reason to replace the official database. Name it anything you like - as long as it's placed in the mentioned folder, it will show up. |

My problem is simply that it just doesn't show up. |

I've put it in the right folder but it doesn't show up. Not with a downloaded DB and also not when making a DB with the editor. It's just a sort of bug wich appears in some games, but not in all games, I guess...

Show me a screenshot of the folder that you're placing the file in. |
