[how do you handle 2 games with same name on same platform?]

ok, update:  

so it turns out the Metadata search function thingy in LaunchBox fails to find the nickelodeon game completely if you just have "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" as the filename.
You need to manually type in Nickelodeon in front of it for the entry to show up at all (that requires some level of mind reading capability, i don't think anyone would actually do that)  
I don't like that "nickeloden" name in front anyway because it messes with the alphabetical order (muh OCD!), i want the TMNT games to be together...  

So, attempt number 2:

I just do like Amazon does!
"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles", no nickelodeon
and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles - The Movie" 

makes more sense to add "- The Movie" at the end (more intuitive), the search should then also show both entries, i hope.

( i know, this bothers me more than it should ;P )

ok, i've added the Nickelodeon bit in front and the change went through tonight, guess i'll add the other game now.

but in general, would it be possible to have 2 games in the DB for the same system with an identical name or would this produce problems, i mean the entries would technically still have a different ID in the DB?  

LaunchBox would of course get confused which one to pick when adding roms.

just wondering because i stumbled over this:

https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/games/details/34084  

 

the first one says Nickelodeon on the cover, but that is not something anyone would include in the title (and is not included in the existing DB entry as is)

the second game does not have a DB entry yet.
