[Only show specific regions and hide BIOS roms?]

Indeed, the LB front page does claim that it's an organiser, so I'll add my voice to the "can we have the option to show or hide specific regions please?"

 

[Scraping the right name]

Thinking about it, maybe Launchbox could have a "Use filename if no good match is found"  option, possibly a user defined percentage to define an accurate match?

Would be nice, I've a few too. Hopefully someone can automate the process at some point.

[Scraping the right name]

I wonder whether it's possible to scrape only if the the file name  is an exact match?
I currently have 6000 odd C64 games, from a narrowed down TOSEC collection. Some of thes games have scraped the wrong info. 

An example of this would be a game file named "Ship, The" which was scraped as "Adidas Championship Football" which is quite a long way out. 

Obviously going through the whole collection to find the incorrect names will take ages. Is there an easier way to get Launchbox to get a more relaible match, or if it fails to find a good match, not scrape at all?

Just responded in the Plugins forum, but thought it was worth pasting it here too, just in case anyone finds this through a web search.

 

If anyone needs them, I've filtered the games list to only have just the physically released English langauge games, with no educational games.

It gets the list down to a much more manageable 4137  titles, including a few alternate versions of some games. 

Thanks again to Aevans0001 for making the original files to do this.

I'd recommend using the COPY.bat to leave your original files intact, just incase there's a particular game you want that's missing. 
Obviously you'll have to change the first line of each file to point to your own Gamebase directory.

Thanks for this  

When I ran the .Bat files it was coming up with a file not found error, which I think I've fixed by adding missing Filename information from the database.

I hope you don't mind, I've attached what I've done in the hope other may find it useful.

Do you think it's possible to get this to work with filtered lists?
