b4btec Posted November 16, 2015 Author Share Posted November 16, 2015 I think I am missing something. I am using NoIntro ROM sets (so far I have imported Atari 2600,5200,7800 and NES/SNES), and I can't figure out how to populate metadata like year, region, manufacturer, etc. I chose to download from thegames.db and noticed a checkbox for "get metadata from a local database" but I'm not sure how to use that option.

Zombeaver Posted November 16, 2015 Share Posted November 16, 2015 If you right-click on a game and go to edit, at the top-right section does it say "Download Metadata" or "GamesDB####"? If it says "Download" that means the entry isn't currently associated with a GamesDB entry - so you can hit the download button and it should come up with a list of possible matches. Once you click one of the results, the metadata should auto-populate. You can then hit the download button on the images section at the bottom right as well. It should do much of this for you automatically with the default settings when you initially import your games, assuming your games are named in such a way that it can recognize them. On the final screen of the import process make sure that the correct game title is on the left side of the table and not something with a bunch of gibberish or erroneous numbers or some such.
