Freestate

I think is mostly because deleting duplicates. And in some cases totally arbitrary because i put art very carefully using consistent art, mostly original and when is related i search the connection the very close i could get. Real life photography is not allowed as it is, but fanart creations with real image are valid. For example i've upload recently a art of a Toyota Supra Mk.IV for the game GT Racing of snes, but the game have the same real life model in the front cover and it's one of the licensed cars that appears in the game. But i've detected deleted art from dr. franken (i spend hours to find SOMETHING about this game until i find a fan drawing, and NOW it's deleted. And a good montage on 7th saga using all the character portraits (original art) from the manual. I've spend 2 hours to find the good quality scans, cut, edit, arrange to make it. And now it's gone. UFFFF. Please check the duplication deletions. And art of bubsy I and II is deleted too, i have to reupload.

I've spending tons of hours searching and creating fanart for snes/superfamicom and someone is aproving deletions? Why?

Yeah, to have emumovies downloads run in the right way we need this. Circo only uses nointro and hyperlist names in his service. We need to add these naming conventions, if we need to create a tag like alternate scrapping name or support name or whatever. If we don't bulk the entries with a good bunch of naming conventions we never could have a 100% perfect scrapping. CRC emulation station scrapping is good but is really slow and fails with fantranslated roms that have their CRC diferent. Is good to have the real names in a straight way using full cover content for sorting and showing, but we need to manage the needs of extra info to improve scrapping, checking one by one because errors is really naty when we are talking of collections with hundreds of games.

My proposal as i say time ago is to add no intro names or other tipical romsets as alternate names. When we have the alternate naming use fully implemented launchbox could find the names an asign them a regional tagged (cover content fair name) to the roms. There's the more easy solution, and without this, emumovies video download service fails a lot because the guy service (circo) only supports nointro and good romset naing convention. We really need to manage and promote this. There's a lot of naming conventions, some that only differs in the use of & and or other naming decisions that not are acurate with our policy of stablish naming with full cover content. If we don'd add a good set of alternate names, the scrapping could be failing to the end of time, and is very frustrating the need to check one by one all the hundreds of games that not scrape correctly.

Search in snes list, are snes games with diferent cartridge size not other platform.

You could easily create playlists for your clasification needs. There's no point on splitting the hardware platforms on arbitrary listings with this option implemented in launchbox.

@Chris Kantsufami turbo: cartridge adapter, the same as the card adapter for master system II for the use of old card games. 32x New machine with CPU: 2 procesadores Hitachi SH2 RISC de 32 bits a 23.011 MHz Co-Procesor: New VDP, also using the motorola 68000 of genesis. Polígonos: 50000 Polígonos/seg. RAM: 256 KB (2 Megabits) destinados al programa, 2 framebuffers de 128 KB (1 Megabit). Paleta: 32.768 colores simultáneos en pantalla sobre paleta total de 32.768. Sound: Extra channels PWM digital

@DOS76Anyone could see the diference. Sufami turbo is only a cartridge adapter, don't add extra hardware at all. 32X is a full new machine with his own cpu, 32x only uses genesis as a powersource, it have his own video out.

sufami turbo are snes games, the sufami turbo is merely a addon to support sufami cartridges (smaller and cheaper than regular ones) No need for extra platform.

Updated sources for covers. For superfamicom and euro covers Nintandbox.net (needs registration) http://www.nintandbox.net/index.php/fr/nintendo-boxes-project/SuperNES-SuperFamicom For superfamicom only Playasia http://www.play-asia.com/games/retro_gaming/nintendo/super_famicom/games/14/716s#fc=o:1http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Search.SNES Usa covers scans and others http://nintendoage.com/index.cfm?FuseAction=Search.SNES

We need that launchbox uses this alternate titles for scrapping and merge roms. Many people are still uploading duplicated roms because the scrapping system only uses sorting titles and fails with diacritics and others. I'm really sick of deleting again and again games like Final Fantasy VI Chavez I and II, Another world and others that are already in the snes database with their US sorting title. And seeing over and over the pokemon pokémon naming changes or 1080 snownoarding. Please priorityze this, the lack of this for years are turning into a serious pain in the ass for moderators.

We need an easy way to see all the rejections in a section with notifications to manage them.In the actual way don't work very well. We can't manage all the contributions one by one, is a really nasty task.

We have alternate naming for this. We could add as alternate names the romset names. We don't need to oversize the list but i thing that with the regional names, some also know names and the 3 romset more useful we could achieve a near perfect 100% scrapping when launchbox uses the alternates names for scrapping and search.

error with the script attatched and error with the autohtokey script.please!!

FINALLY!!

a year ago the superfamicom and snes are merged, same for genesis and megadrive. What's the point of keeeping separate famicom and nes today? Please merge it, we have alternate naming and data for this.

months ago the alternate naming has included in the database and still doesn't have any utility for scrapping and consolidate diferent regional roms with alternate titles. Maybe it's time.

In past times i update the neogeo aes with all the japanese boxart available in the best quality i could find, at least in japanes boxfront is complete, you have work with the western art, many custom cover and very difficult to find the real ones in good quality. Be careful with tgas is really hard to find the real covers and not customized ones for shock boxes and others.

NEOGEO AES NO! It's a different machine than NeoGeo MVS, not the same catalog. It's the same with typex (a typical windows pc) and windows. Diferent platform. You could add flyers and full mvs catalog in arcade and keep the neogeo aes diferent catalog.

Suddenly can't connect to emumovies via Launchbox, i don't change user or password. Ftp is working without issues. ??

@Jason Carr I've tried the option to merge roms into one entry in the last version of launchbox, 7.7 but it doesn't work with roms that have diferent name in regional versions. I've tried to import The jetsons: invasion of the planet pirates and Youkai buster: ruka no daibouken that are the same game but with diferences between us version (jetsons) and japanese (youkai) and don't work. Youkai buster are already added as alternate name (japan) on jetsons entry.

For the last week, slow as hell, too many errors aproving changes, moderators going south and contributors work delaying in limbo.
