Thank you for this ci2own, I am doing the same process as you now. How I was doing it before was error prone and just crap.

We have the same issues with the importing wizard. My launchbox imported 856 instead of 906, I got the directory listing into excel with a listing of the Genesis launchbox database and started to compare the 2, found and imported 11 manually by the end of F. I don't want to do this process for the remaining 39 games. My thread below -having them referenced to each other as you did earlier makes it all easier to look at.

I tried to import 906 Sega Genesis roms, launchbox imported 856, 50 were missed. To identify the missing games is hard, I got a listing of the directory -popped that into excel, got a listing of the Launchbox database for the Genesis, popped that into excel & then used excel view “side by side” to compare. I identified 11 missing games by the time I got to the end of F. Imported all 11 manually. If you can import it manually and it works then the problem is with the program importing wizard, I hope this gets looked at and fixed as I got roms missing on all my systems. Its impossible for me to go through all which I am missing, my launchbox reports 16752 games, of which there could be a few hundred missing. We have the same importing problem/complaint, link to mine

Hi, Yes, this looks related. Something is buggy with the program for it to behave this way. Importing many times 706 games and getting a few missing each time, or me importing 1-2 games and it saying 0. I only experienced this after upgrading to 11.15, so I figured since that is all that changed, that must be the problem -but its not as you are using earlier versions with similar import issues. As mentioned, if I do exactly the same process as the video I provided earlier, with PSP game "50 cent bullet proof", it works fine, delete the game, then import it -just fine. Do that with Genesis game Hercules -0 files to import, do that with Virtua cop 1 or 2 in MAME, 0 files to import. After seeing your video, I did a quick check on my own setup to see if it imported everything. PSP rom files 120, launchbox database 119 (Imported the missing game manually 120/120) SNES rom files 788 launchbox database 730 (I see around 15 filename duplicates in the folder, I'll clean this up -still it missed a lot) (This is going to be the same as my genesis console below) PS2 rom files 73 launchbox database 73 Sega Genesis (Edit in BOLD/Italic) 906 launchbox 867 (Deleted all duplicates 25 in total, just a quick look at the folder, 100% there are not 75 duplicates, although this folder is messy and needs to be cleaned up) I have gone through alphabetically up to end of F and found 11 games not imported which did import manually. So there is a discrepancy of 39 down from 75, the missing games I will import manually and get it to be 906 / 906. Thanks wallmachine for your links. We can say confidently that the program does not import 100% perfectly every time, in my genesis console it missed 50 of 906 which is an error rate of 5.52% My PS1 folder is also different to the imported launchbox database. Fixed this, imported 1 game manually, now is 81/81 The rest of my consoles, handhelds & arcade systems are probably the same -some missing games. Ill do a thorough look through my whole setup at some stage -that is going to take some time.

Hi, I have done the same process as in the video and set the "scrape as" to Arcade, the same problem exists. I tried setting "scrape as" to Sega CD -same thing, does not work. I can make you another video however it is somewhat of a waste of time as all I did is as you directed, at 19 second mark I set the "scrape as". If you would like to see a new video of the same process, just with that 1 setting set, I can make it for you -takes about 5 minutes.

Hi, I have made a 1m32s video for you. I delete from Launchbox, Virtua Cop, then choose to import the file, and go through that process, then it ends with no game imported and the error described earlier. I then Ctrl-N & proceed to add the file manually, set the meta data, launch parameters and the emulator parameters. Doing it manually as you will see works fine. Here is a link for you to review. This is a problem with different consoles, as well as single game or multiple game import. Doing it manual works every time.

Hi, I Installed 11.15 and now importing roms for Sega Saturn, MaME and Genesis says, 0 files imported. I added each of the roms manually with Ctrl-N, set the launch, name and meta data -game is present and works. Never had this happen before version 11.15, my collection has 16747 games across 8 consoles, 2 handhelds, MaME, atomiswave and Sega Model 2/3. Deleted a PSP game and then tried add it and that worked fine. Hercules for Genesis, Vcop 1 & 2 for MaME gave me this error, both added fine manually. There were a few others but I cant recall as I'm tying this. It was around 6-7 in total. (All new additions) I have screenshots, but I think everyone knows the process of importing roms and the final dialog box which says, x game(s) imported or 0 games imported. (I can add them if necessary)
