Missing games & Artwork from Launchbox DB

[Petrarch]

I'm in the process of setting up LaunchBox and have been finding some games and artworks that aren't in the database. I'm just curious if there's a place to report them.

I see, so new additions to the database are screened? How long does that typically take? Thank you.

Depends on the backlog. Any change needs at least 3 moderators to approve/reject it, and there's quite a bit going on in the backlog right now since a couple of new features were added to the database, but it generally takes no more than a few days.

I thank you for this information, but to extend the topic a bit, what if the game and cover art is already in the data base and I renamed the folder and all the files to match and it still wont update the cover art EDIT: I figured it out if anyone is interested, (this is how I did it, you might do it differently) 1. go to the LaunchBox db 2. find your platform and game 3. highlight / copy the title 4. select and right click the game in question in LaunchBox 5. select edit 6. replace the name in the fist line with the one you copied 7. at this time you should get a suggestion, if its correct select it, click the search button at the end of that line it will update your metadata and leave your actual folders and files alone. then go the the bottom right and click download image hope this is helpful, and sorry for hijacking the thread
