bamaholic Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 There doesn't appear to be a way to import local images (box art, snaps, etc) and videos that I have previously downloaded from Emumovies. I don't believe a simple copy/paste into the Launchbox image folders will work as the images are not named exactly the same when downloaded with the Emumovies download service tool. For example, here is the difference between the two file names: Launchbox box art download: ActRaiser Emumovies download tool box art download: ActRaiser (USA) When the roms are imported, Launchbox truncates the "(USA)" from the roms filename but the Emumovies download tool does not truncate "(USA)" from the image file name. It would be nice to be able to import local images into Launchbox similarly to importing roms. It would save me from downloading all the images and videos twice. Also, for whatever reason, it takes an extremely long time to download the images and videos through Launchbox. Any possibility of adding a local image and video import option?

DOS76 Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 I've added Videos straight from the EmuMovie download tool to my video folders and no not all videos are matched but a pretty good amount are. I recently found out that the files don't have to be exactly named the same but do need to be close. Are you sure that the region in say a videos name will keep LB from recognizing it.

bamaholic Posted January 18, 2016 Author Share Posted January 18, 2016 You are right, I just pasted the box covers straight from Emumovies into the Launchbox images folder and it recognizes them fine. My apologies, I should have tried it first before posting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 It happens. :P Just know you're not gonna break anything and if you are afraid you are going to you can always make a backup of your LB folder (provided its not gigantic like mine) or you can backup your LaunchBox XML if it is settings related.

Jason Carr Posted January 18, 2016 Share Posted January 18, 2016 Keep in mind that it *should* match absolutely everything, assuming the file names of the ROMs haven't changed. LaunchBox will look both at the title of the game and the ROM file name to determine a match. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
