MMMiguel Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 Hello, when trying to import some game's data using my EmuMovies account, the EmuMovies Tab under rightclick on game -> edit ->download graphics/media just shows "game not found in EmuMovies". If you want to try it out for yourselves, use "The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past" (Launchbox Db Id #1318). I noticed this with 2 official nintendo games, one from the pokemon and one from the zelda franchise. Is this some kind of legal issue and EmuMovies can't offer these games or is it a problem with the naming/connection between the the games in the Database of Emumovies and the Launchbox Database?

MMMiguel Posted September 1, 2016 Author Share Posted September 1, 2016 (edited) Investigating just a bit further I stumpled upon the FTP access that EmuMovies offers. On their FTP servers the game is always listed as "Legend of Zelda, The - A Link to the Past (USA)" Putting in the game's title like that (in launchbox's game title) shows the correct downloads in the "download graphics/media" section for emumovies! so I think it's an issue with the wording of the title (the word "the" must be at the end of the string, separated with a comma and not at the beginning). I suggest the string should be manipulated accordingly before passing it into the search engine of emumovies (could be a bit problematic because the word "the" title is not put at the actual end of the string but the end of the series title... it's not "Legend of Zelda - A Link to the past, the" after all...) The reason for the issue with the Pokémon game is the é in the "Pokémon" title, which Launchbox DB does list but EmuMovies doesn't. I suggest an overhaul of the EmuMovies Search String, maybe with multiple tries, using special characters like é the first time and subsequently removing special characters and trying various combinations of the title's words (see the "the" problem).

Evil_Orko Posted September 1, 2016 Share Posted September 1, 2016 I noticed the same problem, I think it is a combination of problems with 'The' at the beginning or ',The' at the end. Also the differences between ':' and '-'. Because Launchbox uses a ':' it can't be used in a filename which gets replaced with a '_' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evil_Orko Posted September 2, 2016 Share Posted September 2, 2016 I've been thinking about it, and I think we should be using Hyperlist for our game names and the base game lists for our game db. Those guys put a lot of work into making sure all the games are represented, including playable homebrew and translations. Also, Emumovies base their names off of Hyperlist, and don't use ':' in their file names. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
