Hi @Jason Carr I´m trying to import an already existing romset of my collection. (just for trying the new grouping option). In this case I´m importing the Neo geo Pocket Color (that I have complete in LB with the same romset and the same platform name. Then I uncheck all the options of the last window (import duplicates, group games, etc...), I click "next" and appears all the games to import (it´s strange, because I don´t check the "include duplicate option", would it show only new roms, isn´t it???). And finally click the last "next" button and crash.

@Jason Carr after the crash window, the process continues normally.

I´ve dubts with the "force duplicates" check.  Does this process avoid duplicates from the actual import process? or from the existing roms for that platform that exist in LB?

I´m just trying to add roms from different regions (I deleted a few days before with the audit option), but the "scan for added roms" option doesn´t show the "force duplicates" check), so the only way to add the roms is with the import process, but I´n not sure how it works.

Force duplicates does the oposite.

It forces the duplicate to be imported.

Sorry, my question would be " With the option checked, does this process force duplicates from the actual import process? or from the existing roms for that platform that exist in LB? "

For example, I´ve in my collection a rom called "batman (EUR).zip". What happens (with the "force duplicates" option checked) in a new import of a game called "batman (JAP).zip" (considering that the game / name in the BD is the same).

This does not work currently when you already have your platform imported. You will have to do a whole new import for neo geo pocket color. When checked for a new import it will import (jap) and (eur) under one game entry.

@neil9000 but I am not talking about the new feature of grouping games. I only need to know if this check test a duplicate game looking for in the "new roms to be imported" or in the existing roms in the platforms?, or both?... or nowhere...

 

Thanks!

Normally it checks the xml for dupes if it finds it it won't import it if you check that box it will ignore the check and it will allow the game to be duplicated from the rom folder you are importing from.

Thanks @flores9; this is fixed in the new beta that I just put out. Duplicates are typically restricted when the name of the game is the same in the same platform *or* the file name matches a file name that is already in the collection. So checking the box just forces the importer to import them all no matter what.

Hi @Jason Carr another similar error with the new beta.

In this case importing a new platform "Nintendo Famicom Disk System". Both check and uncheck the grouping option, show this error, and after continue the import but importing less roms.

Hi there

I also have the exactly the same problem and errormessage as flores9 when I try to import some of my roms. I haven't been able to pinpoint a pattern, with some platforms it work, and some it don't

Particularly. it seems to be with Sega Saturn roms, and Sony Playstation (1) roms it fails.

I can see multiple people have created issue in the bugtracker about this problem

Sorry, all, I jut do not want to create a new topic for same issue.

I have aforementionned issue with Saturn ROMS; my files regions are in (parenthesis), if that makes any difference to detection.

Regards,

Thank you guys; I had another issue in the code that was causing it as well that I looked over with the fix last time. I'll be putting out a new beta shortly with this hopefully fixed all the way. :)

Hi @Jason Carr now works correctly. But I´m experiencing another possible issue.

I´m reupdating all the metadata and media of various platforms. And I noticed in the Playstation platform that not download all the media available, for example the videos. No videos are downloaded, and it´s possible that other things.

My proccess is, select all roms, tools / download metadata and images / search metadata on local DB / I checked all options in both next screens (LBDB and Emumovies) / Check to replace all existing metadata. 

But if I select only some games (1, 10, 100, ...) and repeat the proccess, it works correctly.

There is a way to view a log file to know what it happens?. I´m not experience this with other platforms.

ok... I tested to update media in packets, and I localized the error.

 

If I try to download metadata and media for the "V2000" game of PSX (alone or with other roms selected", the wizard doesn´t download any video.

 

But if I use the "richt click" / edit option, it download the video from emumovies.

 

I also tried to reimport this game, and the result is the same.

 

Any explanation?.
