apathy

It's not installed in my program files. But I don't know if admin rights is required or not, I just do it out of habit now just to make sure it works. Thanks for the advice of the filename scraper, it worked perfectly! Now everything seems to be working as it should be and I'm really happy with the results. Thank you again!

Yeah I did sorry about the confusion. I got it to finally work from doing these steps: 1. Close launchbox 2. Run the tool as admin (not sure if this is necessary) 3. Load the xml and start using it I think the reason why it didn't work for me last time was because I had launchbox loaded while using the tool. Thanks for the steps. I have one issue with using the region field, all of my SNES rom region fields are blank using the launchbox scraper. Is it possible to use your step 4 and have it look for USA in the filename? Thanks for the help and for this wonderful tool!

Is there an easy way to have it select USA roms and highest version number for hiding in the latest update?

I get no error messages on my issue (hide duplicate not working). It just acts as if it did something but it does nothing.

Just found this tool to hide duplicates but I cant seem to get it to work. The filters doesn't seem to auto select the roms and saving doesn't seem to do anything when I manually select. I'm guessing it doesn't work with the latest Launchbox?

DOS76 said Ok its pretty simple take the main version of the game that is in LaunchBox (or at least that is how I prefer to do it but you can actually choose any version you want) right click it and go into edit. When the edit window opens you will see a group of tabs in the lower half of the window the second one in will be additional apps. Click that tab then click add application when the new window opens name your additional app then point to the path of your app (I would suggest checking the use emulator check box before entering the path this way your ROMs will show up in the list if you use the browse button) after you choose your ROM click ok and rinse and repeat for as many versions you want to add to that game close it out then right click the game again and all of your additional apps will be listed in the context menu. Thank you for the instructions! :)

DOS76 said Actually if you mean the different roms for the same game under the same platform like a V1.1 and a V1.2 an alt version or a hack then you can set the other games up as an additional app for the main ROM and right click on the box it will give you the option to launch whichever version that you want to play at the moment. I'd like this give this a try. Could you list instructions or be more specific please?

I have different versions of roms and because of this, there are multiple entries with the same box and name in my collection. I was wondering if it was possible to: 1. I would like to be able to have the roms listed and consolidated under one box. 2. I want to be able to click the title and have it bring up a list and allow me to select which version I'd want to run. Is this possible?
