heelsinc Posted February 6, 2017 Author Share Posted February 6, 2017 and does it merge them automatically or is there a new tic box to check off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) I believe it does it automatically but don't hold me to it. Edited February 6, 2017 by DOS76 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemagOrter Posted February 6, 2017 Share Posted February 6, 2017 While import process, on the last page, there is a checkbox (checked by default) for this feature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cool cant wait, I'm just wondering If in the Game Edit panel you could add the option to manually merge it with another game, there is some games in my ZX Spectrum collection that it did not merge automatically, it could be because different publishers per region, I'm not exactly sure why, any way manual merging would be useful for games that were given a totally different name per region/country, but are identical otherwise. I'm sure there is other use cases for such a feature that other will have. Edited February 7, 2017 by brainimpact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Styphelus Posted February 14, 2017 Share Posted February 14, 2017 What does this new function do? What is this multirom thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DOS76 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 It creates additional apps for games during import so say you import a game with 4 revisions LB will now combine them into one entry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cZ8tL Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 (edited) Yes, Launchbox show only Region/Version info. This is problematic when two different games are combined. Also (Beta) version should be under main version. Edited February 15, 2017 by cZ8tL Added second image. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Carr Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I'll need information on the ROM files @bundangdon in order to figure out what is causing it not to display version information. What were the ROM file names for those ROMs? @cZ8tL and @bundangdon, are you guys both on the official 7.7 release? Did you perform the import and or consolidations with the release version or a previous beta version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cZ8tL Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 I skipped beta releases, it was on 7.7 existing platform. Next issue - I know that I can do it via Audit, but adding some "result log" or preview to consolidate would be nice. It would allow me check database errors before merging. For example: Radar (USA).a26 Radar Lock (USA).a26 are different games but got merged because import gave them same DatabaseID - 33467.
