Dreamcast Retroachievements Playlist - xml - clear logo - video 1.0.0

A couple of notes after I imported this into my system. When I opened the file, I was showing 67 out of 71. I ran each game and made some notes for you as I fixed them on my end.

These issues I don't think you can do anything about. For whatever reason LaunchBox sometimes picks a different version of the game. These are the ones I had to update.

Jet Grind Radio defaulted to USA and needs to be Europe.
Kidou Senshi Gundam: Renpou vs. Zeon & DX was defaulting to disc 1 instead of disc 2.
PenPen defaulted to USA when it should be Europe.
Power Stone defaulted to USA when it should be Europe.
Skies of Arcadia defaulted to USA when it should be Europe.
Soul Calibur defaulted to USA when it should be Europe.
Space Channel 5 defaulted to USA when it should be Europe.
Super Magnetic Neo defaulted to USA when it should be Europe.

Here are some miscellaneous issue. Some are odd versions of the ISO that you would need to get achievements. One game was missing from your XML. See notes below.

Frame Gride (Japan) needs patching for achievements.
Kiss Psycho Circus was missing from your XML
L.O.L. - Lack of Love wasn't coming up for me. Looking at your XML I see it in there but you have a TOSEC version selected. There is a Redump version that works.
I had to remove Resident Evil CODE: Veronica X | BIOHAZARD CODE: Veronica Kanzenban. Your XML has Europe selected but that won't work. I have a complete set of Redump releases that is current and no version I have works.
Space Channel 5 Part 2 (Japan) requires a translation patch.

Thanks for putting this out since it saved me time building mine. This may or may not be a useful comment to anyone, but wanted to document some of the quirks of importing someone else's list. I have been uploading a ton of them and I can imagine others will probably have some of the same issues with mine.

Dear Moudrost, thank you for your feedback.

There is a little problem that I was asking about here:

And you are proving that I am right.

When you add xml to your LB something change

I looked only 2 titles, Jet Grind Radio and PenPen, I have set them in EU form, that is right. But probably when you add them, something changed (you have USA priority, for example) And I dont know which rule makes this change. I have already added some playlists and this happened also to me.

This is another example. Mine is working correctly. Why? Because there are 2 working version for this entry:

L.O.L. - Lack of Love (Japan) 

L.O.L. - Lack of Love v1.001 (2000)(ASCII)(NTSC)(JP)[!] 

When doing a playlist we should add the 2 entries?

No list can be "ended". They keep on adding titles. For arcade I have already updated 3 times. When I have uploaded were 70, now 71, tomorrow...who knows!

Anyway, thank you for your precious feedback, I am beginning to understand how these playlists work. And I prefer to make them with care, I dont like missing hundred titles in a list.

For that reason I am also trying to add subset entry to our DB, because when you add playlist to LB they are easily removed. Yes, I used the word "trying" because moderators are rejecting some SUBSET roms without debating on that (some are accepted...Argh...there is no "ratio"):

 

Seems that Subset roms are not hacked roms and some of them require an entry as alternate...This will not work with RA anyway.

Thank you again.
