This is likely because Mame has the <Name> of both those files as Puzzle King. LB is only going by what is in the Mame.xaml generated from the version of Mame you are using. If you go into the Metadata folder and open the Mame.xaml file there you can search the files and see. Searching the Arcade Database you can also see this same information.

Not sure what is going on. I tested updating that same game following the exact steps you provided and I got 9 images on the initial pass. Clear logo and Adv Flyer were in that run. How exactly are you updating the media? Are you updating by going to >Tools >Download >Update Metadata and Media? I tested a reimport of the rom and using the media update option and got the same result of 9 images.

I am sure it will be. The new site is a work in progress as the team now has a dedicated developer. So expect there will be more updates.

Ahh, so it looks if it does not have a full Day-Month-Year date in the game's details it will not show anything on the main page. So it is not a case of it affecting everything just games without DD/MM/YYYY in the release date field.

Are referring to somewhere specific as I do see release dates? At least in most platforms they are there and some games appear to be missing the date which would need users to edit and add. It would be nice to be able to enter a date and have the DB filter to games released in that month/year. At least in the new DB current development state I cannot see a way to do that.

What emulator are you using for Arcade games and did you go into the emulator directly and make sure the controller is mapped for in game controls?

Yes, turn off updates in LB completely. The LB setting should stop notices in BB as well.

I deleted the image you posted. I understand you are trying to clarify a point, but if we do not allow it in the DB we do not want it in the forum as well.

Yes. In the Running Script tab.

Yes. I understood that. What I was saying was basically do not check that box. That box unzips the roms and you cannot do that with Mame. Can you try what I mentioned to test.

You cannot unpack mame roms. They need to always stay zipped. In that image under the Default Command lines can you remove the line below and then test and see if it makes a difference. -waitvsync

Did you update Mame in LB recently? Can you post a pic of your details page for Mame. >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Mame. Post a pic of the first tab.

@MJF I combined this thread with the new one you made about the missing yearly. This way we can keep any update recommendations in one spot for the team to see instead of looking through multiple threads. Going forward please use this thread for any recommendations to the new GamesDB layout.

Unless you have some really obscure playlists you should be able to find a clear logo for a ton of the more common playlists in our downloads section. I know you said you looked and saw most were for platforms so possibly you missed this section. https://forums.launchbox-app.com/files/category/28-playlist-clear-logos/

What do you have your "Scrape As" set for the platform you imported the roms into? It should be set as "Arcade". Just deleted and reimported WWF Superstars and the video was downloaded fine.

Tha profile.ini is not anything from LB. Might be something from a plugin if you downloaded any to use within LB. Badges are probably just a feature of the forum Jason either never chose to use or turned off due to possibly not feeling it was a useful feature. Never noticed it personally.

What exact steps did you take to import? There are several ways to import using the "import roms feature". So knowing exact steps would help identify the breakdown. Can you clarify if the game will run directly inside Mame without using LB? If that answer is no that is the issue.

Go to >Tools >Manage >Emulators and edit Retroarch. In the bottom right of the main details page make sure you do not have the option to "Extract Archive..." checked. Mame roms needs to stay zipped. If that is not the issue make sure in the Associated Platforms tab you have the correct core selected for your Arcade platform.

LB cannot launch the game because you have no file linked. In the image of the Launching tab it should show the rom file not just the folder the roms are in (like in the image attached). Each individual game should have a linked file there. To test this edit that same game and go to the Launching tab. Click Browse and search for the actual rom file and select it. The game should run now (As long as the game runs directly in Mame without LB that is). What method did you use to import the file?

Are you downloading just single random mame roms or did you download a full Mame rom set. Missing files usually means a user downloaded individual different game roms or downloaded a junk curated small rom set. If you did not download a true full Mame rom set best recommendation is to just that. Google "Pleasuredome IO" and it will be the first site.

If you right click the game and edit it then go into the Launching tab what emulator is shown? You imported everything into the one Arcade platform and looks like you also had LB create the arcade playlists. If you want the games in the arcade playlist for Capcom Play Systems to use an emulator (or an RA core) different than standard Mame you need to make sure all those games are edited to use something different. I know your pic shows for the platform called "Arcade" you have selected RA and the FBAlpha core, but was that what you chose to use when you imported the Mame rom set?

That is actually a specific image file. You will have to look in the theme’s images or media folder. I do not recall which specific image folder. You will know as you look through them.

No, LB does not have native marquee support like BB does so dropping these into a LBTheme folder will not work.
