I'm looking at the SVN source and it looks to me like there are some 
typos in the PC game scanning code:

    if (handler->GameType() == "PC")
    {
        thequery = QString("INSERT INTO gamemetadata "
                           "(system, romname, gamename, genre, year, 
gametype, country, "
                           "diskcount, display, publisher, version) "
                           "VALUES ('%1', '%2', '%3', 'UnknownPC', 
'19xx' , '%4', "
                           "'Unknown',1,1,'Unknown', '0');")
                           .arg(handler->SystemName())
                           .arg(handler->SystemName())
                           .arg(handler->SystemName())
                           .arg(handler->GameType());

1 - It looks to me like %2 should be the script name, not the name of 
the game player which would just be "PC-GAMES".  This would be the main 
problem.
2 - It looks like %3 should be "PC" not the name of the game player

I'll ask the dev list if this seems reasonable.
