TheMadMan007 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 So I had Launchbox totally working with pretty much everything I wanted. I noticed that my NES library was missing some games so I just removed the platform and downloaded a new perfect ROMset and imported. Now it won't import games at all. I go through the correct process of importing, the games all come up in the import list, scans, and then comes up saying "0 games successfully imported" I've triend .7z files, .zip files, .nes files.... nothing is importing at all. I pulled out a old romset and out of 781 games it imported about 28 of them. Any idea what is going wrong? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 Because you deleted the platform and not the games. The games need to be deleted before the platform, so LaunchBox thinks you are trying to import duplicates. Re-add the platform, delete the games (platform disappears) then import your games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I think there needs to be a warning message that explains this when you go to delete a platform this may prevent the issue from coming up over and over which isn't the users fault because this is one of the more obscure and less intuitive features in LaunchBox. Or even better an option that asks you if you want to delete the ROMs from LaunchBox when you go to remove a platform. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 I agree, I think Jason does too actually. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMadMan007 Posted March 4, 2016 Author Share Posted March 4, 2016 OK, I thought I did remove the games first (just a simple select all and delete) then deleted the platform. I readded the platform, but LB did not re-add the platform in the platform list on the left. I restarted and re-added the games allowing dupilcates when importing games and everything came up perfectly. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fromlostdays Posted March 4, 2016 Share Posted March 4, 2016 but LB did not re-add the platform in the platform list on the left I've noticed this happens if you add a platform without adding any games. If you add just one game with the platform it'll show up. I didn't report it as I wasn't sure if this was intentional, although now that I think about it, because LaunchBox is Drag and Drop, you should be able to add a platform with zero games.
