playpopo Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Anyone successfully download the Metadate and Images for Sega Model 2 ? I tried but it is not working. I need to manually edit each one of it. (My NES collection setup is working fine though, downloaded everything automatically.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 If you don't have another arcade platform you can use Ctrl+A to select all games then right click and choose edit. When the edit form opens and asks you what you want to change choose platform and type arcade. Only do this if you don't have another arcade platform or all you games will be mixed together if so. Then once you have changed the platform select all the games again and go to tools then select download metadata and images let that run then repeat the first step and change the platform back to Sega Model 2 while it isn't optimal it will definitely work to get you the metadata that is available.

DOS76 Posted April 13, 2016 Share Posted April 13, 2016 This is why I would like to see the ability to name platforms whatever you want but assign a platform from the database to scrape from. Say you want to have a small category name NES Classic you could name it that but then in the wizard have another option to assign platform to scrape from and then you would choose Nintendo Entertainment System (NES) then LaunchBox would know where to get the data from based on your file names but you could also call your platform whatever you want.

playpopo Posted April 13, 2016 Author Share Posted April 13, 2016 Thank you :) It is working! Like you said, the platform for those files is Arcade , not SEGA Model 2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SentaiBrad Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 We have a list of names for alternates, like if you put in NES it should still search the proper platform name, but Arcade is so wild that there is no alternate name guessing. Did you already create that as a ticket Derek? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 I think I did. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
