sagaopc Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 I was doing all the procedures, them I received an error and choose don't import. Now I can't Import more, I choose import duplicated but doesn't work. The progress Bar vanish and finish... Quote
SentaiBrad Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 The most likely error when importing is that some of the entries didn't scan properly. Telling LaunchBox to go ahead and import anyways is usually fine, you would just need to scan for Metadata again. That said, close down LaunchBox completely, re-open and see if it scans again. If you did that already close LaunchBox again and in your LB folder create a backup of your current LaunchBox.xml file. In there is also a 'backups' folder. In the backup folder sort it by Date Modified and try replacing your current LB XML with one of the backups, preferably one from before you started importing Master System games. Quote
SentaiBrad Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Follow my previous post first before trying to add more. Quote

I think the GameDB doesn't working, because when I scraped a random cover in atari (porpertly imported), doesn't appear GameDB, only Wikipedia!

SentaiBrad Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 If nothing came up in GamesDB that could mean the game doesn't exist in their Database. If there was an Error for the GamesDB, instead of the name [GamesDB] Popping up it would be [Error]. Again, the problem you are running in to is normal, all LaunchBox is telling you is that there was an error when scraping and importing, would you like to still add your games to your library. Tell it yes. Some games may be missing images or metadata, so you'll either need to update that System selecting it on the left, going to Tools -> Download Metadata and Images or by updating them 1 by 1. Quote
sagaopc Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 I'll try to reinstall launchbox, to recover him... Quote
SentaiBrad Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 You don't have to, I just told you how to use a backup XML file. Use a backup first that way you don't throw away all your work from before the problem started. Quote

Jason Carr Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Sounds like you have games that are there that you don't know about, so it won't re-import the duplicates. Check to see if they're there without a platform or something like that. Quote

Jason Carr Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Thanks @sagaopc...from what I can tell from the video it looks like maybe you've run into a bug with the latest beta. I'll take a look. :) Quote

Jason Carr Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 @sagaopc Can you send me your LaunchBox.xml file to jasondavidcarr@gmail.com? That way I can test. Quote

sagaopc Posted December 22, 2015 Author Posted December 22, 2015 Other Bugs: - When I scrap an individual game, all the time wants to choose the emulator. - Download metagame/images option Doesn't work https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1A2MF9PyR68&feature=youtu.be Quote
znibro Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 Hi guys! Did any of you manage to find a solution for this problem? I'm having the same issue. Worked well importing NES & PS2 games but when I tried with Nintendo 64 & SNES I'd wouldn't work at all. It looked exactly like in sagaopc's video "Bug Import Launchbox". I've tried: -Make a copy of the .xml file and generated a new one. -Changed the names of the games. -Unzipped the games and tried importing. No success unfortunately. Quote
