The entries for Crystal Caves Volume 1 through 3 are filed under a wrong platform as well. It should be MS-DOS but it's Windows. http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/13633 http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/13634 http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/13635 The same is true for the Episodes of Paganitzu: http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/images/20395 http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/20397 http://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/20399

I also really miss this feature... There are some people talking about the GOG API over at gog.com: https://www.gog.com/forum/general/gogcom_api/page1 One of them even wrote a little documentation for it: https://sites.google.com/site/gogdownloader/GOG%20API%20Documentation.pdf So I guess this is doable Also I couldn't find the corresponding issue at bickbucket to vote it up? Anybody has an ID for it?

dudechester said MASSIVE problem however, is that WHDLoad doesn't support savestates whdload is not an emulator. emulators like fs-uae which are perfect for running whdload-installs do support save states as far as I know... SentaiBrad said Yea we thought of doing something like that, but unfortunetly that would require one for each game, and most games don't exist. I'm not sure I get you here... You mean there are no whdload images for most amiga games? I would say the opposite is true. And isn't ist possible to have null values for games that are not concerned by this? Or do you mean, if you made it a db attribute, games of every platform would have it which would cause issues of some kind? Anyway including name conversion for theese games somehow would be great!

A comment on this subject from an amiga/whdload perspective: I don't know how ROM names are mached to game titles for other platforms, but couldn't you add a db attribute "rom name", possibly with multiple entries, that db entries are matched against when you import games? This way amiga enthusiasts could fill in theese fields and problem solved.

@Cabirus: At least with fs-uae, the games will still work. At least the ones I tested (both .zip and .lha archives) still did. I read that Frode wants to add a feature that automatically gets the best configuration from their database when starting whdload games, maybe this won't work then. But there's still the .slave file inside the archive which should be enough to identify a whdload game (I think)...

It realy annoyed me that there is no way to import any data for amiga games in Launchbox, so I figured out a way to rename all my whdload games. This way, launchbox can at least get some stuff. Maybe other people are looking for a way to do this, so I'll share it here... How to: Help Launchbox scrap meta data for whdload Amiga games by renaming them with Power Shell + RegEx It won't work for all games, but for the vast majority, so renaming the remaining ones by hand won't be such a big deal. Attention: The following commands aim at games stored as .zip files. For .lha format exchange .zip with .lha in the commands. Use seperate folders for both formats when using this method or the extensions will get messed up! 1. Make a backup of the directory containing your whdload games. You don't want to download them all over in case you made changes you can't reverse! 2. Open Power Shell and go to the directory containing your whdload games. 3. Apply the following commands. The -whatif flag at the end of each command means the shell will only simulate the command and show you what would happen if you execute it. To actually perform it you have to remove the flag from the end of the command. You can paste thoose from your clip board to the shell by clicking the right mouse button. I'm not a regex pro, so i split up the task in several commands. Apply once: Remove .zip extension: ls | Rename-Item -newname {$_.name -replace "(.*).zip", '$1' }-whatif Apply several times: Remove additional information seperated by underscores: ls | Rename-Item -newname {$_.name -replace "(.*)_.*", '$1' }-whatif You can repeat a command by pressing the up-arrow-key. If you get warnings during this step, you possibly have several versions of a game stored. You should rename theese games by hand or just ignore this for now if you don't really need theese versions or if you are just keeping them in case another version is not working (as I do). Apply several times: Split game name into single words: ls | Rename-Item -newname {$_.name -creplace "([A-Z].*?)(\S)([A-Z]|&|\d{1}\S*)", '$1$2 $3' }-whatif Apply once: Reattach .zip extension: ls | Rename-Item -newname {$_.name + '.zip' }-whatif Done!

Oops, my bad. In fact there's no support for the game by scummVM. Somwhow I remembered it to be supported, sorry! Keep up the good work ;)

As the topic name says... I can't choose them in the drop down menu when I want to add them. Fixing this would be cool! cheers
