I've used LB for a couple of years now and have 1000's of entries (~8700). I've just reconciled against a cloud sync and came across the wrong "The Last Ninja". What I have is the (arguably famous) 1987 game by System 3:
https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/6114
What the scraping keeps finding is a game with the same name that was released on a magazine cover disk in 1986:
https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/109366
The file I have is called "Last Ninja, The.tap" within the Commodore 64 game folder.
I have tried the following with no luck:
- Dragging and dropping
- Adding using the ADD button
- Trying to correct / search for meta data using EDIT (note that I've tried searching on "The Last Ninja", "Last Ninja" and "The Last")
I've made sure that I've refreshed the local Db, I've tried adding the year after the name.
So I'm not sure what the answer is...ideally
- The online db needs to show the LB ID and the local client needs to allow a manual entry of this ID to scrape against or
- The logic behind the meta data scraping needs to return all games with the same name under a single platform
Obviously if I'm missing something here - happy to hear back, but I believe this may be a fundamental Db / client issue with how they handle unique games with the same name
