I may have done this the hard way, but when I imported my parent sets, I had originally gone and made Rom lists of just the parents before importing. This way my Launchbox would show categories listed like "Arcade - Shmups", "Arcade - Fighting Vs.", etc. Will this mess up just being able to import the clones into their proper groups as I have them currently? I'm thinking since I did it this way I will just have to reimport my whole set. Yeah, seems like it got a little specific. Both Launchbox and Lightspeed use "Arcade" to define the Mame games platform. If that is changed, I am afraid things will not work correctly. I would backup the launchbox\data folder and try and see what happens. It's likely that games will get duplicated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Oh! Resolution related apparently. Let me take a look in the code. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can you try replacing your .exe file with this one and seeing if the interface is now fully visible?Lightspeed0183_Beta6.exe Also, what display settings are you using in your machine? Are you resizing fonts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Looks like everything got imported and consolidated as it should. Thanks again Antropus! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CriticalCid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 7 hours ago, Antropus said: I tried to reproduce the file corruption mentioned above by hammering my library, exporting with either merging or overwrite and I could not get the library to corrupt, but you never know. As usual, please test and report. I just tested it again with beta 6b and it now works perfectly fine. I don't who happened the last time when I was testing it with beta 5. So I took a little time and went through all arcade games from # to B to check if there are other issues with the consolidated ROMs. All games were imported with beta 6b. The missing name for the 1942 hack is gone but there are quite a few games that are also affected by this issue. I noticed that this issue appears when the hack/clone doesn’t have a version or region tag (maybe because the game name of the clone is different than the name of the parent? So just use the name of the clone if there isn't any other useful metadata available?). The games that I’ve found that are affected: Ajax -> Typhoon Alien Syndrome -> Baraduke Atari Football –> Atari Football II Batsugun -> Batsugun Special Version Bio-ship Paladin -> Space Battle Ship Gomorrah Buck Rogers: Planet of Zoom -> Zoom 909 Burnin’ Rubber -> Bump ‘n’ Jump Unfortunately there are some more different naming issues: 1000 Miglia: Great 1000 Miles Rally -> apparently this game has five clones but only one of them was imported, twice. Assault -> The normal Japanese Version and “Assault Plus” are both listed as “Japan” version. Maybe it’s because both versions don’t have a version tag and are from the same region? Battle Bakraid - Unlimited Version -> Also has two Japan entries. Battle Garegga -> Similar issue as Battle Bakraid. Maybe it’s because the version tags have a special date format? Blue Print -> The same clone was imported twice Bull Fighter -> Same issue Bubble Bobble II -> This game is also known as Bubble Symphony and both the Bobble and Symphony versions have a revision that is called exactly the same. Burnin’ Rubber -> both Deco Cassette versions have the same name. Maybe because of the wrong parenthesis? I'll probably have to check every single game for potential other issues that don't appear for the games from # to B. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 This is a great research, Cid! Awesome stuff! Apart from some clear problems with the parsing, for the entries that share the exact same info in parenthesis, how does Launchbox handle them? Does it include the name of the ROM as well? That would help, but I wonder what it does so I can emulate on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I don't know. Since you have released your first versions of Lightspeed I only have used your tool for importing MAME ROMs Unfortunately I don't have my MAME ROMs on this test machine right now. So you or somebody else would have to import them with LaunchBox and check those problematic games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 1000 Miglia looks fine for me, parsing it correctly: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) Ha! Interesting. I just exported a clean set of clones and parents into launchbox and used Launchbox's own consolidate tool and I can tell you that at least for 1000 Miglia, my results are more precise as far as I can tell Compare this snap with the previous one I posted. Notice that the clone called "Great 1000 Miles Rally: Evolution Model!!!" is not being added by Launchbox at all and some of the description shows parenthesis, others not. I guess it's really up to us to improve that as we want, so yeah, adding the name of the clone will be necessary to distinguish the different games, as some of them have the exact same info inside parenthesis and others don't have anything at all. In fact. we can pick and choose what info we want represented there. Lets brainstorm on that. Here's what Launchbox does: Edited March 5, 2017 by Antropus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Ok, tested it again in a fresh LB installation. Lightspeed shows me the clones in the Output list but they don’t get imported. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) The clones will not be imported to LB if "Consolidate Clones" is checked. They will be added to the right-click menu instead. To add the clones you will need to uncheck "consolidate clones". Edited March 5, 2017 by Antropus Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I know that. I meant with imported that they weren’t added as additional apps like you can see in my screenshot. I got the same result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Antropus Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Hmmm, that's weird. And you are using 0183_Beta6b, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CriticalCid Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Yes, 0183_Beta6b and LaunchBox 7.7. I also tested it on a completely different machine with 0183_Beat6b and LB 7.8 Beta-9. Same result Regarding the clone names. Maybe Lightspeed should compare the names of the parent and the clones (without the parenthesis) and if a clone has a different name than the parent Lightspeed should add the name of the clone in front of the version/region. If parent and clone have the same name it would probably be the best to don’t add a name to keep it more clean. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
