DOS76 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 When LB used to use the GDB when you added Sega Model 2 games you would get Arcade results in the initial import now with our own local DB that is no longer the case if you add Model 2 games you don't get any results except for ones from Wikipedia if you change the platform and search you get the results. Is there anyway we can add the logic back in so that if you add Model 2, Model 3, CPS -1/2/3, or Neo Geo platforms it will also get results from the arcade section of the LBDB.

Jason Carr Posted March 13, 2016 Share Posted March 13, 2016 Hi Derek, most likely the problem is that the platforms aren't matching up. I expect that if you select Arcade as the platform during the import process, you'll get data for those as well. You can then filter on status to get the imported games and change the platform after the import. That kind of thing should improve going forward as we clean up all the data in the LaunchBox Games Database. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 13, 2016 Author Share Posted March 13, 2016 Yeah changing the platform to arcade definitely works what I was saying was before it found the results from Arcade when you used Sega Model 2 as a platform and our new DB doesn't do so. I was hoping that this could be changed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted March 14, 2016 Share Posted March 14, 2016 Ah, I see, sure. Hmm. I guess maybe TGDB would return results for all platforms if it couldn't identify the platform. I'll look into that. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Share Posted March 14, 2016 Yeah that is how it worked if you searched something and they couldn't find an exact match for it you would sometime get a long list with options for games on different platforms than the one you were using.

Jason Carr Posted April 6, 2016 Share Posted April 6, 2016 FYI, updated the LGD search for the next beta to search all platforms if no results were found. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
