Styphelus Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 When I import me Sega Model 2 and Sega Model 3 games, all I get is a mess. I'm scraping them as Arcade. Sega model 2 finds 20 out of 44 files but doesn't not name them properly. I only get some artwork.. Also, I have 56 games but it only imports 44 of them no matter how many times I try to import the others. Sega model 3 finds 19 out of 41 games. It renames of a few which is better than nothing. Am I doing something wrong?
Jason Carr Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Hi @Styphelus, this is a known problem area right now (non-MAME arcade platforms specifically). It's pretty high up on my priority list to improve imports for non-MAME arcade systems.
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 For Model 3 after making additional apps for all of the games that have multiple version revision or what not I only have 22 games Virtual Striker 2 is 9 of the games 2 version of Star Wars and Virtual Fighter 3 4 versions of Scud Racer so you didn't do to bad on that
Styphelus Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 Yeah, those are the roots of my frustrations. Same problem with Sega Naomi. I have a few more systems to try out. By the way, I see you fixed the vertical videos. Nice! Much better now. 1
mameau Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 How does launchbox scrape for ROMs when setting up new systems does it use the same database XML files that hyperspin uses, also I found using Rocket Launcher was much easier to setup systems than the setup wizard in launchboxSent from my SM-G900F using Tapatalk
Styphelus Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 Any idea why Launchbox refuses to import 12 of my Model 2 games? No matter what I do, it just won't import the zip files. These games work fine under Hyperspin btw. it's not a case of bad roms.
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 wait did you say you find RL easier to setup than LB that's a new one to me and totally opposite to my experience between the two
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 No clue I have 39 Mode 2 games it imported for me.
Styphelus Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 Mine imported 44 out of 56 roms. Tried adding the other ones one by one and I get a pop up saying 0 roms were imported. No clue why it refuses to import them. I agree with Mameau. RocketLauncher and Hyperspin are musch easier to set up. You just drop the database into the folder, point to your roms and you're done. Hypersync than finds all the artwork and videos for you.
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 Are these ROMs clones of other games you already have setup?
Styphelus Posted August 16, 2016 Author Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) DOS76, you are right. They were under Arcade already. But why wouldn't the same game import under a different system? Does this mean I can't have Neo-Geo AES and MVS in my collection? They use the same exact Mame roms, the difference is the AES version uses a different Bios made for the home console that allows different difficulties and trainers while the MVS Bios gives you the arcade experience. I need to try it out ASAP. Edited August 16, 2016 by Styphelus
DOS76 Posted August 16, 2016 Posted August 16, 2016 I'm not sure you could always add them under the new platform and then use the import duplicate rom checkbox and that should work for adding both.
