Grabbing game "Overview" for MAME

Hello with other frontends I previously used the history.dat file to grab game summary for arcade games in Mame.  How do we do this with mGalaxy, or is there an alternative?

'History.dat' was to be added to v6.2..unfortunately, as I wanted to release this version at the end of the year, I didn't had time to do it...it'll be part of the next update, sorry !

Nice! Do you intend to display all info available for a game or only overview info?

@ROUGHDUCK: what would you like to see displayed: only overview....or overview & technical & trivia & ... ?

Ideally, what would you, mGalaxy users, like to have imported from "history.dat"...the overview only..or all available info?

All available, seems right to use it all.
